Disney(world) Magazine
I agree with the others here who have pointed out that this is truly a magazine about Disneyworld. The entire point of the magazine seems to be to encourage the reader to visit the Orlando half of the American Disney Empire. I have rarely seen an article on the real Disneyland. I have been very disappointed.

Wonderful
I have been receiving the Disney Magazine for the past three years. I absolutely love it. I look forward to every issue. I read it from cover to cover at least five time, but my favorites are the hidden pics and the calendar of events as to what is going on when and where at the theme parks. I also love when there are articles from behind the scenes at the theme parks. I have been a huge fan of Disney since I was a child. Having a subscription to this magazine is just one more way I can enjoy Disney. So thank you for giving me this opportunity to say thank you.

Could be worse...
Disney Magazine isn't exactly what I was hoping for--it has very little to do with animation, or what the Disney Company is doing, and a heck of a lot to do with Disneyworld in Orland, Florida.

This may be alright for some, but if I want to know more about ANY park, it would be the original and greatest, Disneyland!

I think Disney Magazine needs to get their priorties straight, or change their name to 'Disneyworld Quarterly'

Good, but...
I wouldn't pay money for it. We get it as a part of our Annual Pass to the true park (Disneyland). The magazine, for the most part, seems to be a giant advertisment for DisneyWorld. Most articles and recipes are from the Orlando parks. There have been a few good articles on animation and filmmaking, but aside from that, it's not really worth the money.

Not what I expected
I was mistaken that this magazine was for children. I purchased a subscription for my 5 year old daughter and she was HIGHLY disappointed. If it is for kids, they must be much older so that they can comprehend the more difficult reading. Adults who enjoy Disney may want this magazine, but it is not for kids under 11-12. There is nothing fun about it and I'm asking for a refund. ... Read more

Best mag for metalheads
Revolver's competing magazines in the heavy metal magazine world are Hit Parader and Circus. I have bought all three of these magazines several times, and Revolver my final judgement is Revolver is the only magazine that is good enough to subscribe to. The other two I still buy occasionally, but only for wallpaper (I cut out the pictures of bands in the magazines and hang them in my room.)

This magazine is, in a way, like a combination of Circus and Blender magazines; it combines the best aspects of both. Revolver still has plenty of great pictures, but it is also much longer and much better written than Circus. It is not quite as long or stuffed full of information as Blender, but make sure you note that Revolver only reports on one genre (heavy metal!) whereas Blender could (theoretically) report on every genre (rap, pop, rock, etc.)

Chances are, if a hard rock band (especially a big name hard rock band) is about to or has already released a C.D., Revolver will do a story about it. The stories/reports are very entertaining but they also are informative and sometimes a lesson is learned from them. If it's a cover story, an interview with the band is also included; if it's not a cover story, the writer integrates quotes and answers from the band into the article, anyways (even though it's not a formal interview). Revolver writers frequently go on tour with a band (i.e. Lamb of God). In that case, they take the reader backstage, on the tour bus, and in a concert (with a rundown of the show).

When I first started reading this magazine, there was a sexual theme to it. There would be a picture of a "hot babe" in a T-shirt, and one side of the poster would be a woman-usually half-naked-in a sexual pose. In the past year or so, Revolver phased that out (probably to appeal to a broader audience). I sometimes miss the pictures of the "hot babes," but this way there's more room for real heavy metal pictures. Yet, even though sex isn't a theme anymore, Revolver is probably a bit too sophisticated for anyone younger than a teenager. Plus, there are usually profanities (mainly the "f word.") So, I would say this magazine is for ages 13 and up.

Monthly articles:

-Cover story
-3 or 4 other biggish stories
- "Fresh Blood" column (where a small biography is given on a band you probably haven't heard of)
- Ask Vinnie (an column where readers write questions, and Pantera/Damageplan drummer Vinnie Paul gives advice)
- Hard rock news and notes
- Black and death metal news and notes
- "In the studio" (an update on bands currently recording new music)
-Free poster (in the middle of the magazine, there's a fold-out poster of one or two bands.) The poster isn't very wide, but it is about two pages long
-Free music downloads
-"Ink Spot" (a story about a musician's favorite tattoo)
-"Favorite sh*t" (an interview with a musician, with questions such as "What's your favorite color?")
-Joke from a band (Revolver has just recently started doing this)
- Reviews (reviews of C.D.'s, music DVD's, and video games)


Pros:

--Plenty of good pictures and a free poster
--Professionally written with well known writers (yet it is NOT too intelligent for teenagers)
--Edited well (I haven't found any mistakes or typos)
-The "fresh blood" column usually introduces me to a band I haven't heard of, but I should probably check out
--Revolver is accredited and well known enough to be allowed to go on tours with bands and be first for interviews
--News columns (on both mainstream and underground metal bands)
-The stories are always done with quotes from the band that the report is on
--Free music! (Revolver has started doing a page that gives the reader a password, which he/she can then access free music downloads online.)
--No stupid questions in interviews (they ask up to date questions, and sometimes-i.e. in the interview with Puddle of Mudd-the writers aren't afraid to ask daring, cutting questions)
--The "In the studio" segment is always informative
--Helpful, reliable reviews (they don't automatically praise every heavy metal C.D.)


Cons:

--If you're up to date on your music news web sites, the news columns shouldn't really be anything new to you.
--Not all C.D.'s are reviewed (they give a rundown on the C.D. in the article about the band, but C.D.'s from bands that are on the cover of the magazine aren't usually reviewed.)
-Concerts aren't reviewed
-My biggest gripe is that it's only issued once a month.

The bottom line is, if you're a metalhead, this is the best magazine you can get! It is more than well worth the ten dollars you will spend for a years worth of entertainment.

Margeaux is right! This IS the best music mag!
WAY better than the over-rated Hit Parader.

Greatest MUSIC Mag EVER!!!!!!!!
From the first time I picked up Revolver, I fell in love with it.It's got something for everyone.It's got everything from tame bands like Good Charlotte and Simple Plan to Black and Death metal bands like Children of Bodom and Shadows Fall.If you love all kinds of rock and metal music, then this is the magazine for you. IT ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!

whatever
i bought this magazine a few issues back and I was really disapointed. If you just cut off your mullet and think Jello wrestling is cool, than you found your magazine.

A ROCKERS HEAVEN
Talk about UNBIASED, REAL and HARD HITTING articles!!!
Unlike other rock mags out there who diss "sellouts" or "unreal" bands. At least this mag is REAL. ... Read more

EXCELLENT MAGAZINE!
My 3 year old has always loved Pooh. Everytime we check the mail, he will ask me if his Pooh book is here. I would suggest this magazine to anyone with children, young and old. My son spends about an hour looking at his magazine, he feels so grown-up to be getting mail.

well, if you're a follower of the genre this is the magazine for you. each issue has at least 1 interesting, well researched article on a band you've heard of. the album reviews tend to be a bit bland - hard to get candid criticism here. but the ads and listings for events are top notch, and the letters and questions sections are full of interesting historical tidbits. ...

A poor quality publication
I had to wait for 5 five months till I got my first issue, imagine that! When the issue did arrive, I found it was very poor. I think that the publishers of Ellery Queen just don't understand that you have to provide value for the price they are charging.

Most the stories were predictable and boring. After the first few pages you can tell where the author is going.

I think I am going to use the magazine for recycling, I can't think of reading another copy.

Enjoyable and reliable mystery tales
Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine (EQMM) is the sharper image of its sister publication, Alfred Hitchcock's (AHMM). The stories are more polished, some have literary aspirations, and I'm more likely to find the well-executed twist in an EQMM story. While not every piece is a textbook mystery (some are police procedurals or psychological thrillers), all are good entertainment.

Editor Janet Hutchings introduces each piece with a description of the story, or what the author is working on, or an introduction to the writer if this is a first story. Occasional pen and ink illustrations, while not required to enjoy any of the stories, add to the feeling that EQMM is richer than AHMM. Some authors appear every month (Edward Hoch, amazing!) or almost as much (Doug Allyn) and deliver a quality story every time. There are plenty of other writers to enjoy; some are series tales with a recurring character, some create new worlds but impress with their mastery of the short story form.

EQMM relies on fewer gimmicky departments and more fiction. There is a book review column, calling your attention to novels worth reading.

If you love mysteries you should be getting both AHMM and EQMM.

Note: Starting with the 2004 issues, EQMM will publish only 10 issues a year; 2 will be "double issues" with almost twice as many pages. I remember when the Dell Magazines published 13 issues a year, including the "mid-December" one; back then the magazines came every 4 weeks. Those were the days and I have shown myself to be a certified grumpy codger.

EQ Delivers every month!
Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine consistently delivers solid stories every month. As others have noted, not every story is a gem, but I usually find *at least* one really good story per issue, and most of the rest are quite enjoyable. (With around 10 stories per issue, you have to expect the occasional dud.)

This has been true for as long as I've been reading the magazine, which must be close to 30 years, now! The quality of the writing is consistently good, because the editors know what they're doing.

As a previous reviewer said, it is a good idea to pick up one issue to see if you like the kinds of stories EQ has to offer. But if you like that one issue, you can be sure you will enjoy others.

Note: Though it's known as EQ "Mystery Magazine", not all stories are mysteries. They do all fall generally into the "crime" category.

A solid magazine
EQMM is definitely a worthwhile magazine for any true fan of mysteries. Is every story exceptional, of course not and that's unrealistic to expect it to be. The stories are however entertaining and you get the opportunity to see something from some of your favorite writers. I think it's enjoyable to read a short story from writers you like whether it is a surefire classic or just another tale. To address, some of the issues by the jaded first reviewer, look at it from the standpoint of a mystery lover. If the publishers only produced great classic books, we would have only a handful of books each year, instead of the masses that readers have the fun of combing thru each year. The pages smudge, but this is not a magazine that is mass produced like People or Time or Sports Illustrated. At the current price, you could probably only get one to two stories a month for glossy pages. If you're reluctant to get a subscription then at least go to your local bookstore and buy the latest copy of EQMM and find out for yourself how enjoyable getting a quick glimpse into dozen of mystery writers can be.

A great read
No, every story's not perfect -- but is every mystery book you buy? What you can count on from EQMM each month is a great mix of stories, some by writers you know and love, others by ones you haven't discovered yet, and most of the stories are really good: clever, surprising, suspenseful, well-told. I can't imagine how anyone could give this great magazine a one-star rating. It's a great read and would be a great gift for anyone you know who loves mysteries. ... Read more

Absolutely Awesome
From cover to cover this magazine is artistically designed and inspired. Everything you expect it to be, it is. Not only do the articles and pictures portray the latest and greatest in fashion and pop culture, but even the ads lead you to the high-end fashionably eclectic such as Oakley Eyewear and Screaming Mimi's. The articles are varied, going from Mandy Moore's new style to the new L.A. African dance trend known as "krumping" (ferocious, free, and performed at breakneck speed), to architectural design so out-of-the-way that it includes a cardboard box house. If you love fashion, the odd, the sensual, the just plain COOL, then subscribe to Paper. I'd buy it for $20.

Recycled PAPER
I have kept giving this magazine a try over the years in hopes that it might someday live up to what it thinks it is, but I swear it just writes about the same things and same peoplemostly D-grade celebs over & over again. Anything they once may have had is long since gone since the mid-to-late 90's,
so do yourself a favor and save yourself some money or at least try one of the tons of new mags that are out there.

My guide to the fabulous and hip
I LOVE this magazine. It is a hip lifestyle read that doesn't focus on the mainstream or commercial, but instead covers cutting edge designers, artists and filmakers. Paper always writes about things in a funny, insidery way that makes me feel like I was there (even though I don't live in New York City). I love their regular writers and columnists, especially the wacky fashion advice from Mr. Mickey, the style commentary by Kim Hastreiter and the news on what's trendy in Peter Davis' section. Although the fashion spreads might be too out there for readers of Vogue and GQ, I prefer a more daring take on fashion so I love them. I also love their choice of cover people who are not the same faces you see on the cover of every other magazine. I read Paper every month and think it is rad!!!

Collapsing under the weight of its own pretension.
Paper magazine may have been cool a few years ago, but it is a shallow, sell-out parody of what it once was. Basically a celebrity puff-rag. Ironically, not worth the paper it's printed on.

Good, alternative, hip magazine
I like the creativity and originality behind this magazine. It is about fashion, but of all the fashion and lifestyle magazine on the market it is the least commercial. This may not be as big a deal for you. Perhaps you like your life driven by the ethic our comsumer culture. If so, then this magazine may or may not be the thing for you. But if you are decidedly countercounter and also "hip" in your outlook, you can't do any better than this magazine in my opinion. ... Read more

Fantastic
This magazine will make you think. While it's a bit denser than Bust, it's still very witty and entertaining and even funny. I take exception to the reviewer who found it angry; however, I think that the editors and writers have a very clear vision and insight into pop culture and can be quite passionate, yet it's still fun to read. Also this magazine deals with a whole gammit of issues that range from body image, to sexuality, to sexism, to the media portrayal of women, and other social rights issues. You should give it a try.

What Women Want
This is a zine for real women. Women who don't define themselves in terms of what they are not (men, supermodels, etc.)
Perfect reading for emancipated minds and those needing a push.

Intelligent, but jaded
This is an interesting magazine. It really is geared toward lesbians and has a bit of an angry side in it's writing although it makes good points and writing is well done. List price per issue is only 4.95. A one year subscription is 15.00 w/ a second subcription 20%. ... ... Read more

Tomorrow Music
You hear it in your favorite chic bar.

You hear it seeping from the computer science/music major's dorm room.

You hear it in those Mitsibishi car commercials.

URB features the music of tomorrow today. Forget the charts (and the herd). Get URB and XLR8R and uncover some real sonic treasures.

The best coverage of hip hop and dance music.
Most of Urb's readers are rabid "underground" dance/hip hop fans who get outraged at any hint that the magazine is selling out. The fact that this magazine attracts these sort of people is a very good sign.

The pages are always packed with reviews and articles about artists and albums that are new to me. Their year-end lists are some of the best around. Their articles tell what the artists' music sounds like, instead of what celebrities they are dating/how they'd spend $848(*COUGH* Blender! *COUGH*)/what their childhoods were like/etc.

$ is more than most other music magazines, but if you are truly interested in dance and hip hop it's well worth the money.

REAL HIP-HOP!!!
This magazine is the real deal Holyfield! They tell you somethings you can't find anywhere else. They'll tell you about up and coming artists and underground artists that are still hungry and at the top of their game, not about these commercial cats that lost love for the art. ... Read more

Wondering which pics will score big with auds at the B.O.? Or what the crix say about the new net skeds? Variety has the answers, but if you can't make sense of the lingo, you may not be ready for the movie industry's essential rag. Founded in 1905, Variety speaks as the insider voice of the entertainment biz. It offers movie, television, and theater reviews, but places more emphasis on predictions, trends, and insider scoop. The tone is "movers and shakers only, please!" Heck, the headline writers are so on-the-go they only have time for abbreviations: "Bull Market for Syndies," "Saggy Sudsers Go After Younger Aud," and "B'Casters Set Skeds to Fight Digital Rivals." Critics are "crix," a movie is always a "pic," the box office is the "B.O.," and "H'Wood" is, well, if you have to ask.... If you're looking for the latest celebrity gossip, you're out of luck. But if you're seeking cutting-edge news from the heart of Tinseltown, this is your mag. --Brangien Davis ... Read more

Poor eye for Talent.
I am a fairly proficient hard rock drummer and feel I have a good knowledge of who are and who were the great rock drummers. I only wish Modern Drummer possessed the same knowledge. Their featured drummers are either modern day heavy metal/grundge drummers from bands like Slipnot, Marilyn Manson and Rage Against the Machine, Godsmack or lightweight jazz drummers who most rock drummers are unfamiliar with. Heck, Marilyn Manson used a drum machine up until the last few years, that's how important he felt a live drummer would be to his sound. Like another reviewer said these modern day grunge,/metal/industrial/goth drummers are "flash in the pan" drummers with no solid rock drummer influences - only the drone of distorted grundge melodies fill their their heads. Another odd anomoly is the drummers they celibrate from the 60's, 70's and 80's, drummers like Bill Bruford, Steve Smith and Dennis Chambers. Their focus is only on technique here (they exalt Smith to legendary status and allow this candy-ass Journey drummer to be the authority on many of the "drummer tip" articles). All out, raw, but talented drummers like Jimmy Chamberlain, Dave Grohl, Matt Cameron, and Zach Starkey get short shift. Look, I do appreciate the lesson sections, but let drummers like I have just mentioned give tips on drumming once in a while. Furthermore classic drummers like Ian Paice, Mitch Mitchell, Carmen Appice, and John Bonham are never featured. Kieth Moon received a lame feature in a recent article on the 25th anniversary of his death because he epitomizes the type of percussionist Modern Drummer Magazine despises, a balls-out, creative, beyond-defining type of drummer. Placing these fat armed, tattoo-laden, heavy-handed, modern day heavy-metal drummers on the cover is just as cheap as the low end models of Pearl, Gretch and Ludwig drums they like to advertise. If you would feature top of the line drummers and top of the line gear you would certainly get more subscribers.

The Ultimate Drum Magazine
The best all around drum magazine, ever. There have been imatators, but no other magazine will give you the deticated hard working staff modern drummer has. The magazine is packed with new product reviews, stories on todays top drummers, and a cd/book/video review section that has led me to some of the best drumming imaginable. If you are a serious drummer or just starting out, Modern Drummer is the ultimate source of drumming knowlegde.

The best, bar none.
Modern Drummer is much more than a magazine about drummers; it's a magazine about DRUMMING. You simply can't find a better magazine that keeps you on top of everything drum-related. From new product reviews, to tuning techniques, to health columns about good playing posture and other drummer woes, to the well-written and informative articles, Modern Drummer is the best source of drumming information. Who knew that by reading a review with Godsmack's drummer, I'd learn that putting cotton balls in my floor tom is a great muffling technique? All music genres are covered in the magazine, with sheet music and guest columns from the world's greats showing how it's done.

If you're a drummer, do yourself a favor and get a subscription today. You will value this magazine for the rest of your life.

This Rocks
I am sorry but there is no better Magazine for drummers
Hands down the best

Hit and miss
I've been a Modern Drummer reader/subscriber for a very long time and it's consistently been a decent magazine.

MD does excellent product reviews. They are always interesting to read and give a good idea of how a product sounds (always tricky) or works. Whenever MD focuses on equipment, be it the reviews or news of new equipment, the magazine excels. They do a very good job of keeping up with manufacturers all over the world. And this is no mean feat considering that the number of types of instruments and equipment that fall under the category of drums and percussion is probably as vast as all other instruments combined.

Also one of the better aspects of the magazine are the "filler" (nondepartmental) articles that vary from month to month. The editors do a respectable job of filling the mag with articles that will interest all aspects of the drumming community. Community also plays a big part. Drummers, unlike guitarists, tend to love each other rather than despise others with talent. Little things like updates on older drummers, world drummer features, new drummers featured every month, birthdays, and even obituaries foster this sense. The latter is one of the best aspects of the magazine, as the editors really hold the community feel in mind when doing obits, often featuring drummers and music folks that would never get press anywhere else. Having some history of drumming presented in this manner helps to appreciate those that went on before us.

MD also tries to help instructionally, publishing charts and transcriptions of famous drum performances. The editors consistently try to educate on several fronts, including technique, buying tips, how to make a living as a drummer, and so on. All these features are invaluable.

There are some flaws, though, with the biggest being the main interviews. Featured drummers have traditionally been big names, but those names anymore are from bands I have either never heard of or are lopsidedly in the metal/grunge/industrial arena. Most of these guys are here today and gone tomorrow. Plus, they usually have little to say about the craft. And their final critique: I get tired of all the multi-tattooed, "I'm Cool", metal coverboys staring out from the magazine rack in my living room. Nothing says style like have some guy with piercings all over his face brooding at friends, neighbors, and in-laws. Some of these guys on the covers even scare children.

Sadly, technique and craft are often not discussed in great detail in the main interviews. One recent edition had interviews with two veterans, Stewart Copeland and Vic Firth. And while this was one of the better copies of the mag, little of technique was discussed with these two drumming giants. If you have heard either play, and you are a drummer, you'd love to know how they do it and from where they pull their style. Considering that interviews comprise a large portion of the magazine, this can be disconcerting.

The magazine also features reviews of recordings, but seems to pull its punches, possibly for fear of losing advertisers. The lowest rating you almost ever see for recordings is a "6" out of "10", with most being an "8". Hey, I listen to a lot of music and the sub-6 category consists of about 90% of what is out there.

The last con is the look of the magazine. For a music magazine, it's not very hip-looking. The design of the magazine seems to always be stale, even when it is updated from time to time.

Still, despite its lacks, MD holds up. There are few other options for magazines for drummers, so you don't have a lot of choices anyway. Considering this, MD gets an extra star in the review simply for being there for those of us who like to hit the skins. ... Read more

My favorite
"My lips are sealed!", vows Patsy Stone regarding a recent scandal of hers in the Absolutely Fabulous episode "Hospital". "You'll do 'Hello!' magazine, won't you?", asks her equally obnoxious best mate Edina Monsoon. Patsy mimes unzipping her mouth and says, "oh yeah- of course!" "HELLO!" magazine is like an English combination of "People" and "The National Enquirer". This is a fun mag with loads of American and international celebs alike. What makes it different from it's Yank competitors is the amount of entertainment news you get abroad, plus information on the Royals and "society" folk. A very pricey subscription, but worth every penny to me. If you, like me, are an Anglophile, you cannot live without HELLO! magazine.

Though you can't take it terribly seriously, Hello! Magazine is a juicy read. Photo spreads of your favorite actor's house. The latest on the British Royalty. You get the idea.

Simply the BEST!
Growing up with Walt's Disneyland, I was hungry for anything relating to the hidden facts and history of this most Magic of Kingdoms. Once I discovered "The 'E' Ticket", it turned out to be everything I had hoped for and more. I imediately subscribed and ordered every back issue, grateful that I have a totally complete set. ("Ticket" is totally subscription supported and accepts NO ADVERTISING!!!)

Using incredible rarely or never befor seen archival construction photos, glimpses or original artwork, and extensive interviews with Imagineers past and present, "Ticket" sets the record strait, puts rumors to rest, and finally gives long-overdue credit to the brilliant men and women that created Disneyland, it's attractions, shows and more.

"The 'E' Ticket" is more than appropriatly titled, and like Disneyland itself, nothing short of a MUST for fans of Walt Disney and Disney Parks alike.

Best Disney Theme Park Magazine
E-Ticket brings to life the story of one attraction each issue. The story comes to life through the words of the imagineers that worked on the ride, as well as pictures taken of the attraction.
Some rides are no longer at Disneyland, so for a young man like myself, it's cool to see ideas of the past, like the Mine Train. Even seeing rides that are still around today is interesting to read about. Some of the rides have changed so much, that they are far different than their former self.
If your interested in the technical views of the park, this is also a great magazine for you. The magazine goes into detail on how the ride works, and why some of them have failed.
For the true fan of Disney's theme parks, this is the best magazine for you. Brings you back into the magic four times a year, without paying the extra cash to go to the park. ... Read more
