Dishonest - yes, take a look at all the pirated recordings they press up
and profit from

dishonorable - yes, I don't think that review gave any respect to Larkin's
album
they don't have to give it a thumbs up - they can pan it - but an
honourable and respectful review demands more than what they gave

by writing reviews they have taken it upon themselves to become promoters

if all they are doing is selling and not promoting I wouldn't expect to see
ANY reviews

and, you're right, it wouldn't be much of a "techno" store if they didn't
stock it - so they have to stock it, but they give it a curt review that
was insufficient in details for what purpose exactly?
to dissuade people from buying it?

so they stock it to keep their image up, but they publically slag the
record without any given reasons - again, using and abusing
dishonest, dishonorable, disrespectful
