Monthly Dose of Awesome
It brightens my day whenever I see an AP sitting in muh mailbox. I agree that you shouldn't give a bad review just becasue a product hasn't come in yet. Don't let the 2 star reviews fool you, AP is just about the greatest printed source there is for music. I discovered almost every band on my mp3 player from this magazine. But I will say, if you're not into really AMAZING music, stick with your local radio station and order a subscription of J14. :P

This is my bible.
First, I would like to say to the person who reviewed before me that you shouldn't rate the product low b/c you haven't recieved it yet because now AP has a 2 star average.
Anyway, I love this magazine. It offers a plethora of articles about your favorite bands and ones you may have never heard of. Thanks to this magazine, I discovered some of my favorte bands of all time (The Matches, The Pink Spiders, etc.). There are also atricles about unsigned bands, fashion (although it's usually only a page long), and the history of music, among other things. I often read issues cover to cover. Overall, an enthralling read everytime. Basically, if you love alternative music, you need to get this magazine. Otherwise, you're missing out.

Good for growing up with.
When I was a teenager and in my early twenties, the monthly AP was a prized gift in my mailbox. Since I've hit my 30's it has lost touch with me and I feel my generation. It does focus on new and upcoming bands and goes a little heavy on the whole "style" thing. Nothing really to interesting unless your a teenager or in your 20's and hanging onto something. The one and only reason I'm giving it four stars is the fact that the reviews are honest and a gazillion times better than Rolling Stone or Spin. Though given that Spin and Paste are now my music magazines of choice. I will no longer purchase an AP just read the reviews while I'm at the newsstand.
