20% ads, 70% wasted paper.

by jeff_wilder78 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Feb 19 '02
Pros: Occasionally has good articles.
Cons: Too many advertisements, Too much flip-flopping.
Music magazines are not in a good state these days. Rolling Stone, the leader, is worth buying once in a while. But as a whole is too inconsistent to maintain an edge as the leader, While Revolver (which I previously praised) has gone from being a symbol...

It defines a whole generation

by nimrodAPW , Jul 26 '00
Pros: Has a wide variety of music articles, a definitive youth magazine
Cons: Too many ads, doesn't focus on music, they took away Sean Landers
Spin is a definitive magazine for America's youth. They are not just a normal rock/pop music publication, but one that goes far beyond that. They cover everything from politics, trends, music, movies etc.

SPINning Out Of Control: Generations X thru Z

by wildvirgogirl , Feb 03 '00
Pros: Inexpensive price; Current information about up and coming alternative musicians; New smaller format (dimensions of the magazine) is more manageable to read or put in your bookbag, briefcase, or what-have-you.
Cons: Sexually-explicit imagery is inappropriate for their youth readership; Perfumed ads are nauseatingly fragrant; Coverage is predominantly on Caucasians, specifically males, with smatterings of non-Caucasian artists of both genders highlighted.
PREFACE:
This magazine is reflective of our American youth culture. Based on what I see and hear in the music, which is highlighted in this review, our contemporary society is a living nightmare.

My God, What a Glitter Rag...

by hawkeye2010 , Oct 06 '00
Pros: Some interest to music fans filters through the glitter.
Cons: The glitter, unless you're a 17 reading teeny-bopper.
And here I thought Rolling Stone(RS) had gotten too glittery. Compared to this fashion/MTV drenched piece of fluff, RS is a paragon of music journalism. From begin to end Spin assaults you with everything that's wrong with music, and unlike...

Way beyond "alternative", Spin is literally heroin chic

by Chad9976 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Nov 26 '00
Pros: so shocking you kinda want to see what they'll do next
Cons: makes being a junkie look cool, irrelevant, poor journalism
I'll wager dollars to doughnuts the target demographic for SPIN magazine is 13 to 30-year-old skaters and drug addicts living in major metropolitian cities who hit every underground club there is and scoff at any band, movie, book or any piece of ...

SPIN Sometimes Is Nothing But...

by nickel_03 , Mar 23 '00
Pros: Credible writing, thought provoking literature on music and society
Cons: Often falls to heavy bias, immoral journalistic behaviors, and high brow acting
Just recently, I picked up the new issue of Spin Magazine, their "15 years of Revolutionary Music" issue, as the cover boldly exclaims. As a veteran music rag reader and highly critical fan, I must say that Spin is one of those things you...

if you liked Cultural Studies in college, then you'll LOVE..

by dfinkels , Aug 07 '00
Pros: smart-ass lit theory applied to pop culture
Cons: smart-ass lit theory applied to pop culture
When I decided to give my opinion on Spin (more on this in a minute) I consulted the already existing negative reviews. I have to say that I was disappointed. Critics of the magazine seem to find fault with the manner in which it fails to achieve...

SPIN baby!!!

by MoonFey , Sep 04 '00
Pros: Great articles, new artists, old artists, not overfilled with teeny-bopper schlock
Cons: None that I can think of
I recently became a subscriber to SPIN magazine, and really did not know what to expect. I figured, why not? I'll give it a shot. Boy was I surprised! What a great magazine for the Generation X and Generation Y, respectively.

I was truly...

Wanna Know What Your Kids Are Into?

by aliencowboy , Jan 19 '00
Pros: Relevancy, layout, writing
Cons: none from my pov
I try like hell to keep up on the things that interest my kids. My parent's didn't do it for me, so I thought I'd do it for my kids. I have a ten year old, a thirteen year old and a twenty-one year old.

Since my twenty one year old lives...

Arguably the worst magazine currently on the shelf.

by mattcale , Jun 28 '00
Pros: Hilarity ensues upon cracking any random issue.
Cons: Obsessed with its own hipness, poor writing, suffocating in ads.
Due to a weakness I am still trying to rectify, I gave in to a door-to-door salesman and subscribed to this unfortunate rag for three years. Cursed as I now am by its monthly presence, I can speak as an expert on the unprecedented stupidity of this...

Spin this magazine straight into the trash can

by soad , Jun 03 '00
Pros: cheap
Cons: bad articles, bad fashion section, bad reviews, bad everything
It seems like there is a rip-off of just about everything these days, and the same holds true for Magazines that review the modern music scene. Spin Magazine is unquestionably a Rolling Stone copycat, and a bad one at that. I subscribed to Spin, having...

A 100-Something Word Dissertation on Why Spin Sucks

by fixxxerny , Jan 21 '00
Pros: Hasn't been good since 1995
Cons: Has been around after 1995
I have subscribed to this magazine twice. The first time I ended my subscription, it was because I had no time to read it. The second time I end it, which will be within a month when my final issue comes, it will be because I can't stand it now.

Spinning out

by nordern_kurt , May 27 '00
Pros: photography
Cons: writing, relativeness
I subscribed for one year-- couldn't st and it. Only what, 40 pages of ads before the contents, 20 after, and 5 of people complaining about the number of ads and that back page guy (he still there?).

The articles I wanted to read ended up as...
