Can Rollingstone Suck Any Harder?

Rollingstone has truly become an insignificant publication. This is rather disheartening considering its origins as the premiere music magazine, with truly groundbreaking journalists and stories. It has gone the way of mainstream America, where the majority of the populace are lead to believe that people like Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears are to be considered musical visionaries. It is so sad to see this once great music rag contributing to the dumbing down of America's musical tastes and opinions. This should be the very voice of what is wrong with the music industry of today where most every band sounds the same and manufactured boy/girl bands are apparently what the public wants.

The band that I am currently listening to(they actually play their own instruments) is The Music. I read the review for their recently released eponymous album in the aforementioned publication. Rollingstone gave it two stars and pretty much made it out to be crap. I could not disagree with the magazine more. It was interesting to note the number of readers who not only disagreed but objected to the reviewer's opinion. "Take the Long Road and Walk It" is an amazing song, particularly the non-album original also known as the Fierce Panda version. Rejoice, rejoice! A band that actually sounds different from everything else out there. Expect to hear a lot of good things from this band in the future. The first time I heard them, I was reminded of when I first heard Oasis back in the summer of 1994 on Top of the Pops. They are going to be huge.
