That (linked) review was completely pointless, partly because the girl couldn't be bothered to even TRY to include a half-assed review of the "shrill cacophony of noise" she was exposed to (poor thing!) and partly because it sounds like she didn't even do any research before she went there in the first place ("yes, he of the mullet and Rocky Horror Picture Show"?!).
The fact that TVNZ put it on their page that way gives you a general idea of their "quality control", which is unfortunately something you can observe in many online magazines/newspapers, even worse than in actual print media.
And yeah, I don't think she does music reviews often (or alternatively nobody told her that this is not how it's done), otherwise she wouldn't be "too busy" to sit down and actively listen to whatever she is supposed to form an opinion on.
