I certainly agree with this. I always feel like I'm having to
"read between the lines" to discern whether or not I'll actually
like something. On the positive side, the reviews in _SNC_ are
usually informative, and sometimes even alert me to records I
could not easily find in stores. All in all, _SNC_ is one of
my favorite magazines; I only wish it came out more often!
