Customer Reviews of Paste
Don't waste your time & money I have subscribed to Paste since 07/05. They used to include a CD of all new artists featured that month. I think they got bought out by a mainstream company cuz now if you are a current subscriber you can only get the CD if you pay an additional $10 for the remainder of your subscription. I used to love the true "indie" aspects of this monthly rag. Not only music but BOOKS & movies. Now those features are scaled way down. Now they are leaning more mainstream(if I wanted Spin of god forbid Rolling Stone I would of gotten it) & want you to pay an extra $10 for a CD that cost pennies to make. I will NOT be renewing my subscription! Also whats up with no cancellation/no refund policy? I always thought if you stand behind your product & reputation the consumer is ALWAYS right? Bottom line Paste USED TO BE A GREAT RAG if you want a truly insightful & non mainstream publication go for MOJO or FILTER.
Great idea, poor execution
When I first heard of Paste Magazine, I thought "What a great idea!" Of course there should be a music/culture magazine for adults - and including a sampler CD was a fantastic innovation. But then I read Paste and realized that, as others have noted, the writing isn't very interesting. Articles that should grab and hold my attention just...don't. It's not that the articles are bad (one exception: the profile of Christopher Guest was quite possibly the most self-serving and poorly written piece of entertainment journalism I've ever read), it's that they all seem kind of the same. It's just one blandly written profile/review after another. Honestly, I enjoy reading Entertainment Weekly more. For a well-written music magazine for adults, check out Q Magazine (UK). They cover a wide range of music (so you'll undoubtedly have to sift through it), but it's fun to read and they also include samplers with some issues. The only drawback is that it costs $150/year to get it in the US, so I've had to limit it to being an occasional treat.
Get It for the CD Sampler Alone
Paste is probably the best music magazine available today for people looking for excellent new music that they might not have heard yet on the radio. But I would buy it for the CD sampler alone, which typically gives you 20 songs from artists the magazine loves. And since the reason the artists let Paste use their songs is to entice you to buy their full album, you get their very best songs.

>Also, you will see that several reviewers have given Paste only a single star because they have not yet received their first issue, which has given it an artificially low rating. Get a clue! The listing says that the first issue will arrive in "six to ten weeks," so don't complain that it's been "a couple of months" and still haven't received it!
