as my statement implies, to an extent, all MAGS SUCK. This is the same as
most all media. Subjectivism in music (which is all music reviews, most
all media content, hell, pretty much anything that someone comments on in
the media/newspaper/mags) is not avoidable; once anyone reviews something
it becomes subjective, which is the same as saying nothing.
Not even artists should give reviews of their own stuff.

in a nutshell, yes. But it isn't just URB (but more so than most mags!);
if you want to know what something sounds like, don't listen to some
wanker who can't come up with a descriptive adjective to save his life.
Listen to it for yourself before buying, or take the chance. After all,
if it's a
"screaming breakbeat superdubathon with tons o bass,"
how can you go wrong? 8>/
