Roger Ebert once said the purpose of reviews is for the reader to decide whether or not he would like the product, regardless of whether or not the reviewer liked it. To illustrate his point, he was asked by some people in an elevator what he thought of a movie. Ebert said he thought it was a very intelligent, well crafted movie. "Oh thanks," said one of the people: "That doesn't sound like anything we'd like to see."

You're not seeing things through fanboy goggles. You're seeing things through BryanK75 goggles. No one at Metacritic has a pair of BryanK75 goggles. Only one person on the planet does; this is the person you should listen to the most.

Read reviews and scores and take them into consideration, but use your own past experiences and knowledge of what you like too. Just because you like something more than others doesn't mean you're wrong.
