- Banal, patronizing
I subscribed to Paste on a promotion and paid one dollar for a year.I was excited to have an antidote to Pitchfork's pretension.Paste did not satisfy.While I appreciated some of the content and perspectives, I found most of it trivial.If you're looking for thoughtful insights into current media, I do not recommend Paste.If you're looking for a forum in which Scarlett Johansson can tell you about everything you never wanted to know, check it out.

Rating: - Great new music
Starting picking up Paste Mag while in Iraq and have really discovered some new and fresh music to listen too.Every issue comes with a sampler CD with 20 or so songs on it of new music.If you are looking for new music of every genre....try checking out a copy.
Rating: - Unadventurous and stagnant
Paste is aimed towards post-college adults whose musical tastes veer left of center. Unfortunately, they miss the mark badly. Readers are offered an unchallenging menu of staid triple-AAA and commercial-ready indie. The sampler CDs are heavy on mid-tempo ballads and are eminently boring.

While I didn't expect Paste to be as adventurous as The Wire, I also didn't expect it ... Read More

Not only music but BOOKS & movies. Now those features are scaled way down.Now they are leaning more mainstream(if I wanted Spin of god forbid Rolling ... Read More
Rating: - Great idea, poor execution
When I first heard of Paste Magazine, I thought "What a great idea!" Of course there should be a music/culture magazine for adults - and including a sampler CD was a fantastic innovation. But then I read Paste and realized that, as others have noted, the writing isn't very interesting. Articles that should grab and hold my attention just...don't. It's not that the articles are bad (one exception: the profile of Christopher Guest was quite possibly the most self-serving and poorly written piece of entertainment ... Read More
