Maximum R&R
This magazine never fails to amaze me. Every once in a while I pick up an issue and go straight to the reviews section. I've been into punk/hardcore
for 20+ years, yet I've never heard of 98% of the bands they review releases from, nor have I heard of the bands they compare them to. In the current
issue, I think there were only 3 bands that I knew. How is this possible?
On a side note, when they do review a band/album I like they usually hate it. Not far enough to the left I guess.

Agreed.
I gave away about 100 old issues of MRR a couple of years ago.I really never cared for the zine,I would just read a few articles and thats about
it.I'm not sure why I kept buying them years ago.I haven't read one in a looong time.

zine has sucked since the late 80s. when they refused to review what did not fit their standard of "punk rock" in the early 90s that was a laugh too.
i read it for the same reason as anyone else until 1996 or so, "because of the ads."

They review our first album Mind Yourself and called us Pop Punk. Or something along the lines of that.
