Summary: Forget It
Comment: Not the Rolling Stone mag it used to be by ANY means. No Thanks, I won't be renewing.
Customer Rating:
Summary: They will threaten your credit rating if you decide to cancel
Comment: The poor content of this magazine is the least of your worries. Think: credit rating. Once you put your mark on that little subscription card, they will hound you, threaten you to keep those checks coming. If you even think about canceling your subscription, a deluge of threatening letters will come your way. Don't even think about it ... stand back at least 500 feet.

Summary: Not what it used to be
Comment: I remember when I was 12 years old. Impatiently waiting for my RS to arrive, which I read cover to cover. Every article was golden and the reviews were usually spot on.
Now flash forward 20 years later and it's a different story. I am just as much into music now as I was then (and maybe even more now). The cover stories have seemed to have strayed from talented musician to the popular vote of today's Tiger Beat star or reality show star. The reviews of the music are pitiful and could not be more off. I just do not enjoy it any more. I stopped my subscription over a year ago.
I was browsing Amazon when I saw how poorly rated this magazine was and thought "wow, I'm not alone".
Maybe it's just the poor state of music today. There are no real talented acts being interviewed for this magazine.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Decent read
Comment: RS seems to offer more advertising than good articles. It's been 15 years since I last subscribed- and I stopped at that time for the same reason I want to possibly stop now: MORE ads and not enough articles.
Esquire also has a ton of ads but there are so many well written articles that they more than makeup for the ads. RS can't say that.

Summary: What happened to the music?
Comment: I understand that we are in a very politically charged year but give me a break. The political articles in the Rolling Stone could not be further left. It wouldn't be that bad if they were well written and backed by plenty of facts and thoughtful annotations. These articles seem like they are written to a 14 year old target audience. Not to mention roughly half the magazine is now uninsightful political trash talking. I still have to give them a C- for their overall music contributions but the "other" articles bring it to a D. There is no way I will renew my subscription and I am one retarded Matt Taibbi article short of canceling it altogether.
