A rip-off is if you pay for something but don't receive it. Or if you pay too much an service that was not needed. This is just an expensive magazine. The price is on the cover. you don't have to buy it.

      Ditto here.....I skipped on the KATE BUSH issue, first issue I've missed
     since #4. (Sorry but she's not quite Prog enough for my tastes).

     Unfortunately the Reader's Poll and Critic's Poll for 2011 were in there....
      Who made the lists this year ?

     Gripe #2 : They have yet to do an article on either PHIDEAUX or
         MAUDLIN OF THE WELL !

I think the reason for that is the very strictly limited nature of the circulation numbers available. The business model appears to be that they will only print what can be sold in the shops or by subscription.
I believe to them it should be just another subscription. But anyway, whatever the reason for the delay, we finally got it after over a year of waiting Clap I've been browsing through the February issue yesterday and today, and the March issue came today. Looks really wonderful, I'm glad I'm finally able to read this Smile

i dont miss an issue and its always a great read with some great prog on CD which for me is the main drawcard. No other mAG OUT THERE is this dedicated to Prog IMHO. Its only a small outlay per month and not much to ask if you want more on the genre.

If you are looking for a magazine that is uniquely dedicated to prog (and I mean a mass circulation mag, not a fanzine), that is very well produced, extremely glossy, and full of articles by journalists who clearly know their stuff, then CRPR is for you. 

The downsides are it is very expensive, and I find myself these days taking less time to read it, especially the reviews - I can see better ones, and more contemporary, on this site.

All in all, though, it is still worth it.


Thumbs Up Thanks!
