Rolling Stone ahsa LONG history of bad reviews.
And why is The Roots review 2 paragphs long? That's not a review, that's a "capsule review" like the ones you get in the back of a free weekly reader when they haven't seen a film.
Rolling Stone is also ALL OVER shit ass EMO bands. Pitforkmedia is 5 times worse, but RS is bad too.
The WORST review: (ignore the star ratings those are from readers)
Devo - Duty Now For The Future
http://www.rollingstone.com/artists/devo/albums/album/161853/review/5942032/duty_now_for_the_future
"Like the rest of the No Wave to which they're appended as a kind of accessible doppelgänger, Devo's funkless chubs have very few new ideas—most of the concepts on their second album, Duty Now for the Future, have been recycled from Frank Zappa, the Yardbirds and other Sixties avant-gardists — and the handful of original notions they do try to express are mostly lame or fraudulent. "
Tell me that Rolling Stone knows shit.
