I know i'm much younger and i enjoyed reading the NME a few years ago, when you'd probably say it was **** then, but looking back at old issues i have and what it is now i can the quality lessen. Hell, it got me into some great stuff but now it's, as Mozzer put it brilliantly (but lets not get into that), "a relentless stream of "cheers mate, got pissed last night, ha ha" interviews".
Another problem i have is why they have to side with British music as if it's some competition. And then of course there was the early 00's where it was Travis/Coldplay-ville and they sided a bit more towards the international garage acts (which to be fair were very average on the whole), i can't help but think lately that if they had taken a chance and backed bands like Mclusky more then my taste would be epically different.
