Anyone care to share why the supposed New Look NME appears to just be poor efforts by the work experience kids?


They seem to have forgotten what is they're meant to be doing. First off, £2.10 for a weekly music rag is obscene. Especially since this last few issues have filled a good six or eight pages with full page photographs depicting the weeks supposed greatest musical moments. Like the Enemy with a storm trooper. And then a weekly archive photo celebrating a great NME hero.


Don't get me wrong. I'm a photographer myself, I admire and appreciate a good quality photograph. But expectig the great British Public to fork out almost a tenner a month is ridiculous.


Or perhaps there's just an open market for tat for twelve year olds now that Smash Hits has ceased publication and there's a good few million kids in the country with nothing to blu-tac to their walls anymore....


Or maybe, with the website being updated with hourly news, there's just no need for music news that's a week old anymore and so it's pictures and features galore.....


If that's the case.... where are the features?
