For the most part, this is how I see reviews:
There are either reviews from excited mudders who are just getting into this new mud they found and post a paragraph about how great it is...
Or it's a giant flame.
Otherwise, yes...reviews are promotion from veterans of a mud. But what does that say about the mud itself? It says that this player enjoyed the mud so much, that they stuck around and are writing what they like about it. That, though promotional, does say something.
Best bet? Take it all with a grain of salt. Your own experience is all that matters.
