Customer Reviews
Average Rating: out of 5 stars
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - not as good as it used to be, but still pretty good
This magazine is definitely not up to par with that it used to be, but it is still pretty good.Lots of info about new artists and still some great political and social reporting.It's more of a "lifestyle" magazine than it was at one time but is still the best thing we have going.

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - MOJO is so much better
If you care about Music then Mojo is a far better magazine.I want to read about Music not what Obama or Sarah Palin had for lunch. I'm bombarded with politics day and night on the tube. I just want a good music magazine to relax with.
