Summary: Worthless magazine, unless you like awful music.
Comment: In a nutshell: Blender would like you to think they're edgier than Spin (yes, I realize the irony there), and more relevant than Rolling Stone. One would think that these aren't terribly difficult things to accomplish, but Blender somehow manages to fail on both ends.
If it sounds like Panic! At The Disco, expect Blender's writers to fall all over themselves to bestow praise. If you think Katy Perry is the greatest thing since the last overrated and overhyped thing you liked, welcome home. Be sure to check out the hard-hitting Jonas Brothers interview in the September '08 issue, and get a gritty look at the Disney Channel underground.
Spend the extra ten bucks for a subscription to Paste.

Summary: Be aware.
Comment: Blender Magazine may be filled with content beyond the average music consumer's dreams but I think people should be aware of Blender's "sales tactics" and what it really means to subscribe to this magazine.
I signed up for a movie card YEARS ago and the promo was to receive a few free magazines....just sign up...well Blender has since taken it upon themselves to remove money from my account to continue their unwanted business with me and I don't even recall getting the magazines half of the time.
For the record I don't recall signing anything to allow Blender to do that. More importantly, anyone notice how they make it near impossible for the average human to retrieve information to unsubscribe? I no longer back a magazine that would just take money out of accounts, there was no transaction between myself and Blender that would really allow them such personal financial information. It makes me so mad.
I miss the good old days of Spin....
Boycott Blender, boycott magazines and websites that take advantage of its readers. No one cares about top twenty bands of the summer if it just means that they hope you won't realize you're occasionally 10 bucks poorer to their benefit. bad form, blender...boo.

Summary: The Best Major Music Magazine
Comment: This is the best major music magazine there is. Spin and Rolling Stone are more about "lifestyle" than music. Blender is all music. It's smart, witty, and very similar to what you'll get in Maxim, but it's about music more than women. If you get Maxim, you can usually get Blender for free. $10/year is a bargain though.
There are more reviews here than any other major music magazine. More stories. More news. A good read from cover-to-cover. Try it.

Summary: Don't waste your money
Comment: Do not waste your money and order magazines on Amazon. They outsource your subscriptions to a company called Synapse that is a complete nightmare to deal with. I received 2 copies of my sub and after calling to check why was told that I canceled it and a credit was issued. My bank showed no credit and calling back to Synapse was met with a combative no-customer service rep. I didn't take the warning of other users with Amazon mag subs and paid the price. You were warned!

Summary: Great Mag
Comment: Blender rocks for its tight witty writing and great photos. It also features a mix of all kinds of music. I'm pretty much a rap fan but Blender has exposed me to artists like Feist I now bump on the regular. Oh- and the movie and video game reviews are surprisingly good for a music magazine
