Average Rating: 
Rating: - As Aimless as the Music scene it (purportedly) covers
Rolling Stone has a big, fat, schizophrenic problem--they still want to be the "rebel" magazine, and pretend rock and roll is still "dangerous" like it was when they first began waaaay back when. Problem is, rock is no longer a dominant force in the world and hasn't been "dangerous" in over 20 years. On the other hand, they want to be mainstream as well. In the 70s and 80s, they were mostly able to avoid the arena-rock groups and hair-metal bands, but not now--now they can't put Britney and N'sync on the cover enough. And since being taken over by the same guy who runs Maxim, look for ever more cheesecake to splatter on the cover (Is there any other reason to put a Jennifer Love Hewitt or Asia Argento on the cover?) I first got the hint that the mag was going downhill when the Spice Girls made the cover five years ago; when they gave Mick Jagger's solo record 5-stars last year, that clenched it. I give it two stars because it's still Ok to glance at the news items in the front and the record reviews in the back but the middle of mag is not worth your money.
Rating: - where is zero stars when you need it
Listen, if you want to read a magazine based on music,don't get this. All it talks about is celebrities and movie stars most recent moments that have nothing to do with music
Rating: - Disappointing.
I subscribed for one year and it wasn't money well spent. I wanted a magazine that would cover the cutting edge of music. Instead, I got a magazine mostly filled with one-sided political commentary and a few pages about music--in other words, crap. The writers of Rolling Stone need to return to what they did best in the first place, which is writing about the music. And either drop the political commentary, move toward the political center, or give both sides EQUAL TIME.And while I'm on equal time, cover more electronica. It is, after all, the 21st century.
