Fun read
This is a fun read.The articles are entertaining and short.Good to pass some time.Excellent for the plane!

Wonderful Magazine
People is a weekly American magazine of celebrity and human interest stories,the magazine runs a roughly mix of celebrity and human interest stories,People is perhaps best known for its yearly special issues naming "The 50 Most Beautiful People", "The Best and Worst Dressed", and "The Sexiest Man Alive".Ithink people magazine is a wonderful magazine because I can keep in touch on what is happy to the actors and actress. What the good movies are that are good for me to watch. I think ya'll do a good job with the magazine. It is worth reading every time I get it.People also includes reviews of new books, cds and movies.
Enjoyable
An interesting and enjoyable magazine if you like reading about celebs. If not: This is not the magazine for you. Very rarely will you see someone on the cover of people for being involved in politics or saving someone's life or whatever. Instead you'll learn about Branjelina's baby, the ongoing divorce struggles of Jess and Nick, and other such stuff. But I am not condemming the magazine; I myself enjoy sitting down with it every week and would reccommend it to you. ... Read more

People is the best
I've been buying this magazine since it first came out. I let my subscription lapse for a few months and sure missed getting People in the mail on Fridays. It's back and I'm glad!!

Same old song and dance
I echo the same gripe that other reviewers have voiced here: The magazine covers the same handful of people week after week after boring week.How many times is a reader going to see no talents such as Jessica Simpson, Lindsay Lohan, the Tom Cruise-Katie Holmes joke, and THE most overrated, overhyped people of all time Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie on the cover and not get tired of it?
Tinsel talk
Once years ago 'People' would have, if I am not mistaken , articles on people outside the worlds of glitz and tinsel. Now it seems to have degenerated into another kind of low- pop-culture mag which belongs to what Mencken called 'the booboisie'.

Has Seen Much Better Days
I used to really like US magazine. I have been collecting every issue each week for several years now. But wait! Has anyone else noticed that this magazine has drastically changed since the beginning of this year? Where are all the interesting articles and info on the celebrities, movies and music? There's no more than a thumbnail's sketch of info on anything now. It's all photos and quickie hype. It has no more substance. What happened to this good magazine?

Delivery Problems!
Why is it that Us Weekly can't get a copy to me weekly?Sometimes three weeks will go by without an issue.Then I'll receive three in one week.Us Weekly assures me that everything is normal and that they ship them just as soon they come off the printing presses.I'm not buying their story or the magazine again.

US Weekly - The Best Celebrity Gossip Magazine
As an avid gossip lover and big-time magazine reader, I whole-heartedly recommend US Weekly as the best magazine subscription you will buy this year.As a woman in her twenties who subscribes to all of the celebrity magazines, I would have to say that US Weekly is hands down the most entertaining magazine of them all.They have the most up to date photos, pretty accurate stories, and entertaining staff writers.Their weekly columns on "Who Wore It Best" and "Fashion Police" are laugh out loud funny.

Entertainment weekly magazine
Indispensable guide to what is happening in movies,television,books,and popular culture. Comprehensive,witty,well-written and,of course,entertaining!

Entertainment Weekly
I love this magazine and I look forward to getting it in the mail every single week, unless if the last one was a double issue. Then I have to wait another whole week, which can sometimes be painful. I love the reviews and the magazine is funny, fresh and it keeps me up to date on movies, TV, music, and DVDs. The onlt complaint I have is lately they don't have as many reviews for urban releases. ... Read more

Great buy!
After checking the exorbitant prices of foreign magazines and Billboard Magazine I love my suscription to Rolling Stone Magazine. Yes, I wholeheartedly agree with the good folks that say that too many uneventful acts are being given undue praise. And yes, obviously it is not the same magazine of yesteryears. I do recognize the fact that times are indeed changing all the time and Rolling Stone has changed as well. But seriously folks, where else you are going to find the awesome deal of a Rolling Stone suscription? Talk about affordable to the masses. Yes, I checked the prices for Uncut, Mojo, Melody Maker? (or something like that) and the prices were downright ridiculous. Not everyone has the inclination to dish out $9-$12 dollars for a sucription. Oh yes, the English have the edge, their magazines are sooo vital, no air between the ears type music journalism, more and more accolades for them and abuse and criticism for Rolling Stone. I agree some of their reviews such as James Brown's "Live at the Apollo" making it a 5 star album is just not so and I bought it for the review. All these Hip-Hop taking center stage, all these blank acts that have yet to make their mark, but hey, you know what? It informs you, it lets you know what is going on out there and once in a while some serious journalism is to be enjoyed. All the politics pisses me off but some of the more dark essays sometimes grab my attention, but here is the grabber: For the same price of the ridiculous expensive imported magazines you can buy a lifetime suscription from Rolling Stones! I mean, till the day you cross the treshold and all the earthly subjects will no longer have any bearing in the state of things. If you are 20 that is 40, 50, 60 years of delivery to your door. What does that break down to? Actually and I am no Mathematician but I am sure it breaks down to Zero for an all American Music Magazine. Take your criticism overseas because Rolling Stone is a great buy any way you slice it and you can take that to the bank. Some awesome reporters have graced the covers of this magazine so do not give me any flak and some great articles too! Boo Whoo, Boo Whoo, Rolling Stone is a great buy, now what?!

Too bad they care less about music and more about what they think may be cool
I read rolling stone for the music and those who make it, not for some guilt ridden, agenda blasting editorial team that feels their politics (and guilt at being so much the establishment they wish they could hate) is something we should all read about at nauseum. when they stick to music, it's good, when they parade their shreiking political views, it's boring.
One star reviewers are correct.
Anyone with a good taste in music will hate this magazine, as it only rates bad bands from bad genres good reviews and whatever good bands are listed, are often given bad reviews.Its all pretentious pop-culture drivel for the conformist, weak-willed mainstream American.

The Best Banjo Mag
The "Banjo Newsletter" has been around for many years and continues to be "the" source for all things banjo. The articles are written in everyday language and are very helpful. All aspects are covered from beginner to advanced players with all styles including frailing, old time, bluegrass, jazz, backup and new age. There is information on current happenings as well as historical information. I know of no other single source of banjo information that is by and for banjo players of all ages and skill levels. It is highly reccommended.

Great magazine
This magazine fills a niche for serious banjo players who are interested in conventions, jams, new products, technical tips and specific samples of new and traditional music.I look forward to each issue.

Had the last cuisenart food processor for about 30 years.
The only problems we had was having to replace the lid twice in all that time. Geat product the first time through raising 3 kids and alot of cooking. Hope this one and us can last that long. ... Read more

The magazine
This is the only music magazine you ever need to read. This is what Rolling Stone should aspire to be. There is really nothing more to say than if you like music this is all there is.

It was great while it lasted....
I am a big fan of this magazine, but even more so of the "free" cd--when it is good, it is very good.So I finally subscribed despite the stiff price.Two issues came, I was happy, then a third without the cd, and then...no more.After many calls and complaints, Amazon finally secured a partial refund--not exactly what I wanted.Here's hoping that the delivery problems can be worked out--maybe an opaque wrapper?

Great content but delivery is problematic
As far is the writing is concerned this is a top notch rock magazine. The format is appealing and the pages are not marred by one too many ads. Another plus is the CD that comes with each issue ; this might help justify the cost. The original CD's are priceless with real gems that the average music listener may not have heard of.They choose a theme and run with it, creating an eclectic mix of artists to illustrate their theme.Take for example a few months back when it was legendary tracks from Studio One in Jaimaca where it featured little known artists among reggae afficionados like Ernest Ranglin, Michiganand Smiley next to giants like Bob Marley, The Skatalites for a complete view of the important record label of reggae. I really enjoy the monthly features including tributes to those that passed away in the month entitled"Real Gone." Old rock stars are going faster than they did in the seventies! Other good features are the brief reviews of music indexed as Filter reissues, reissues extra, tracks,buried treasurean just plain Filter Albums(current stuff). The in depth articles of the cover subject are very entertaining and what actually drew me to Mojo intiallyfor information. There is one draw back for US subsrcibers, it is a long way acros the pond and problems will occurr. In the last year my problems have been as follows: was receiving my issues two weeks after the stores had copies, missing CD's. To their credit both problems were solved in spite of having to send three issues so that I would finally get my ripped off CD,it was stole twice! Subscriber beware. Sending it in clear plastic with the words CD inside is just an invitation to a thief. Otherwise it is maybe the best rock music magazine out there and I defintely recommend the Brits perspective. ... Read more

great magazine
This is a great magazine , much better than the english version, thier edition "50 bellos" , is the best. They really know how to pick beautiful people. The latest edition of "most beautiful" in english is really disappointing. I suggest People en Espanol, el mas mejor.

DAMNNN o0o sexaaiiii
just because juanes is in the magazine thats all i got to say I WANT 100 COPIES!! lol not badd

Aprender entonces leer
I must admit that I got hooked on this magazine after seeing a tiny picture of Juanes on the cover.I love his music and I wanted to know more about his life.My subscription started too late for his famous cover shot! �Que lastima! I missed several issues because they were sold out at the hispanic tiendas.

Finally!!! A Music Magazine Worth Subscribing To
When it comes to music, culture, and overall coverage of meaningful entertainment, Paste is where it's at. Fairly a new publication (starting in July of 2002), the magazine has soared in popularity and holds its own in a marketplace saturated with bland and repetitive articles.
How did they do that?
PASTE magazine was made just for me!I don't even know how it came to be...I had started to receive the now-defunct TRACKS magazine (unsolicited - - probably a last-ditch effort to build a subscriber base) and when they finally went under, I was credited with two issues of PASTE.WOW!This magazine is utterly awesome!Besides the cd (or dvd - - or sometimes both!), the music, the films, the cultural issues are all enlightening and well-written.It is obviously a labor of love for all those involved in its creation.It is literally chock-full of interesting stuff, particularly not-necessarily-mainstream stuff.In all honesty, I find the advertisements particularly helpful in turning me on to new great artists, which I probably would not have heard of otherwise.I also appreciate the thicker-than-average cover, since I tend to carry it around with me for a while, to devour it by bits and pieces in every spare moment.Each issue ends up plastered with sticky-note reminders to check out or follow-up on something or other, and I've even resorted to folding over pages of interesting articles for later reference.The magazine holds up very well to my attentive abuse.So, if you are ready to escape the pablum that the entertainment industry has been spoon-feeding you for so very long, be sure to check out PASTE.Support real artists, you won't be disappointed.

Loves Paste
Absolutely love this magazine.So much, I gave it as gifts to my family.Perfect for music fans tired of the same old Top 40 radio and craving for some fresh new sounds.Each isssue even comes with a compilation CD and DVD of movie shorts, videos, etc.Sometimes I feel this was created just for me. ...

Ordered this for my son. Sometimes it takes a while, for the order to reach him in prison, so I'm not sure he has received it yet. Since you wrote and reminded me, I'm thinking it did get to him, as others have been returned.

This is what a guitar mag should look and sound like
I agree with the other reviewers who point out the many useful music tools in this mag. The UK is where English started so if you like literate writers rather than being pitched to like an 8 year old you'll like this magazine. My gripes are that I can buy them at big box bookstores for pennies more than the subscription rate. The price fluctuates with market $ vs Pound/Euro and the delivery time for the 1st issue is 12 to 16 weeks! The stores get them faster. So if they had a better subscription deal and faster delivery I would definitely subscribe. Besides anyone that calls a tube a valve and a wrench a spanner is okay in my book.

It's all about the music
I've been buying guitar magazines since 1990 and have a collection of hundreds of them. This one is the best! It has always been good, but these days I think it stands out from the crowd even more. I've seen magazines start out good, full of useful information and sheet music, then plunge to the depths of crappy industry gossip and little else. These guys have kept a strong loyalty to the musicians who wanna play, rather than the ones who care about image and nothing much else.
A modular music library
Most guitar magazines seem to be heavy on discussion of artists but light on actual music. GT still talks about artist's styles, but then gives you the tab and standard notation for one of their works or a class on how to solo in their style. A standard issue contains sections like rock, jazz, acoustic fingerstyle, Funk and country, followed by workshops on (for eg.) using altered tunings, increasing fretting speed, and other interesting things.Read more

Good if you're a teenager, otherwise avoid
If you're a teenage guitarist and want to learn Nickelback, Green Day, and nu-metal songs, then this magazine is for you. There's also some pretty good tips for beginners from time to time. But in the last several years the quality of the feature articles and interviews has gone steadily downhill, and there are far too many ads. As many people have said, sometimes it doesn't seem to be geared towards musicians at all anymore. The smarmy, "hipper than thou" Rolling Stone, Spin, Pitchfork Media style of writing seems to be taking over the mag.And other styles of music such as blues, country, jazz, etc, are pretty much ignored.But like I said, if you're a teenager and you see it on the newsstand and there's a song in it you would like to learn, pick it up, otherwise avoid this magazine.

Great for the articles and...
I've been reading Guitar World for quite a long time now. I found the recent addition of the CD-ROM to be a pretty nice feature and it's really helpful to see the artists play the songs themselves so you can better learn how to play the songs and do the lessons in each issue. Guitar World offers a lot of different styles in various issues. One issue might be a metal issue while another might be blues and then there's still some funk and classic rock. I find that the articles with the various guitar players to be usually interesting as well as the colum devoted to producers. The endpage is always the gear setup of a well known player which I think gives a little insight if one finds a sound on a record they really like. Definitely not a bad buy for those things.
Not as advertised
I wish that when I purchased this subscription I would have read all of the reviews.Unlike the description included on the Amazon website, the subsription does NOT include the CD-ROM, which costs an additional $1/issue.And, if you want to purchase the CD-ROMs for past issues, they cost $4/disk.Sometimes a bargain isn't really a bargain.Buyer beware. ...

A1 Publication - One of the Best out There
As a music professional I have subscriptions to numerous magazines, Everything from Guitar One to Recording Magazine. Therfore I was reluctant to spend more money on another magazine until I received one those cards for a "free issue" in the mail. Man was I glad to get that. EM is one of the best magazines in the industry and it covers just about every aspect. Interviews with the industries top producers, 10 or more reviews per issue. May's article on "Affordable Solutions for Studio Acoustics" was worth the yearly subscription by itself. So don't wait like I did, its no telling what you might miss.

Good info, recording, gear reviews, articles, and ads
I'll keep this short. hehe. The mag corners a market where no other mag goes. This is a nuts and bolts making a living at electronic music (all forms), kind of mag. You won't find artist reviews or anything like that here (just references to who uses what sometimes). If you are a beginner looking for info, or a pro who is keeping up with latest gear, software, etc., then get this mag. I've had it now for a couple of years and it's jampacked with articles, gear reviews, buying guides, etc. etc. etc. There are ads but they are kept to about 10%-15% usually. Some of the ads are very insightful into new products. Topics range from drum machines, synths, PCs, software (both commercial and freeware!), anything that relates to the Electronic Musician. And if that weren't enough EM goes the extra mile teaching us how to properly record mics, make a mix, anything related to the studio process. I also recommend Keyboard Magazine if you are a synth or electric piano player. I highly recommend Electronic Musician to anyone with an interest in Electronica (EBM, Industrial, Techno, Soundscapes) and/or High-Tech Professional or Home Studio recording. ... Read more

Spin baby spin
I've been to a lot of concerts, met a lot of bands, seen a lot of hype, seen a lot of scandal. This magazine is pretty much the best source of any up-and-coming band that you may be hearing on the radio or seeing on MTV.
Spin Magazine
Give me a break,people!All Spin Magazine is a cheap rip-off/wanna-be of Alternative Press.I've looked at like maybe ten OR less issues of this waste of printed material in the past as many years.Think I may've saved ONE of those issues.Sometimes,I'll find an issue left by an uninterested patron at the post office that's been left behind.I'll then take it home,then likely toss it out after I've looked through it twice.Avoid at all costs!

Decent overview
Ok - This is not pitchforkmedia.com - the online music review who's more concerned with prose rather than the actual reviewing of music BUT nevertheless the greatest source out there to new music. This ain't Rolling Stone neither, who'd have a better place in the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame rather than the newstand, as it doesn't mean anything anymore to contemporary music fans. This is the guy stuck in the middle, between the one who does not want the intellectual crap of the one, neither the commercial junk from the other. Hence, a 3-star for ideal pulp, just what you want if you have 10 minutes to spend on the toilet! But then again, this is a daily occupation... ... Read more

I love this magazine!
Yes, EW has changed over the years, but I believe it's as relevent now as it's ever been.The articles are interesting and the reviews usually right on the mark.I read it cover to cover.

Wussy & Weak, "Weekly" Has Lost Its Edge & Drive
First off, I usually just stick to rating & critiquing movies. But, every time I see an ad on this website for this Time/Warner (or whatever the hell the company calls itself this week) rag-mag I start to see red.

ok, but won't help you be a better drummer
I'd like to think that reading MD in my younger years had even a little positive effect, but for impressionable youngsters, this mag is not going to help you be a better player.And it peddles a lot of jive images that have nothing to do with what playing music is about.
a must have for all drummers
I can't see any reason why drummers don't read Moderndrummer magazine. I've been subcribing Moderndrummer for years and I always enjoy reading them, comparing to other drum related mag, the interviews and critiques are very informative and inspiring, i learnt a lot about product knowledge and maintainence, drummers and bands, and not to mention technique thru out the years of subscrbing MD, the whole magazine is well organized by easy and comfortable to read lay-out and meaningful content, instead some of the so called drumming magazine which interview drummers about their day life and what they think about that specific cities, Moderndrummer really concentrate on how to help their reader to be a better drummer in general.
Excellent Mix
There aren't many magazines for drummers that you run across at your average newstand (usually only two or three). This is the best all-around one to get. Good interviews, good reviews, good advertising. Not much on the local scene, but I can live with that. ... Read more

The Source for All My Favorite New Bands
I can give this great music magazine no greater praise than to say that pretty much all of my favorite new bands in the last couple of years have been discovered through Under the Radar. On top of that, they also write great articles on some of my pre-existing favorite bands. Under the Radar generally has much better writing than some of the other indie music mags out there (Devil In the Woods, Rockpile, Big Takeover, etc.) and fits my musical tastes perfectly.

an alright magazine for music
under the radar has pretty good articles, pretty consistently.i wouldn't call it a good source for finding out about new bands, though, like others have said.i find arthur mag, wire mag, and devil in the woods mag to be a lot better for that.
2 of 2
Under the Radar and Filter are the only music magazines I come near. I hear Mojo is just as informative, renovative, and enjoyable, but I'm a little too close-minded to care about other genres I... don't care much about. Fans of rock/pop/what the kids are calling "indie"/alternative/punk/post-punk/folk/!!!!, take a gander at this.

hhmm....Nope....
I'de have never read Vibe in the first place, but i won a free years subscription in some online contest.And i must also mention i'm a huge fan of hip-hop and hip-hop culture, so i'de think Vibe would be tight.....daamn, was i ever wrong.First off, half the mag is Advertising....then what little reading there is....it's all bullsh**.The interviews they have with artists are totally weak & watered down.They never ask any worthwhile questions.Vibe also contradicts itself constantly.In one issue, they'll give an album a low rating & a poor review, then at the end of the year they name that same album one of the years best....what the f***?Vibe has it's decent moments, but i def. won't be paying for it anytime soon.
Avoid at all costs
I started reciving Vibe magazine in the mail announced and unexpected. This wouldn't be the first time this happened, turns out my Grandmother bought me People magazine as a gift and the copies were sent to my house. I figured that somebody had got me this magazine as a gift. Next thing I know a charge for the magazine appears on my bank statement.
Worth my money!
This magazine is ill!I learn about all the new albums coming out, read the review,and if they say they are good, i go outand buy 'em.The reviews are also accurate, giving the appropiate number of stars. I also love the sections on the new artists on the verge.The cover stories never seem to dis-please me, always givin' me plent of info.The mini articles are cool, too, from stuff like Warren's Sapp's all-star football team, to all about how Mike Jones was discovered.One last thing I love about the magazine - they are never thin issues, and you know what that means!!! ...
