thats not even actually a review. at no point does it review the track remotely, it just tells us a load of rubbish about the courteeners, insults the band, the top 10, the production, mentions nothing about the song and attempts at humour tosh dead right. It's becasue they're a manc band. none of them londoners like to admit that manchester music wipes the floor with any of that shite that comes out of london. |

NME is useless, i despise that magazine. every single writer on there just does whatever the editor says, and they seem to choose their editoral policy by putting bands names in two hats, one marked "hype up" and one marked "knock down". then they pick bands out of each hat randomly each week.

meh people always sl*g of the NME.
The thing is, it is not the same journalist who writes about the same band every week.
Like on here, someone could write a review of the cribs new single and say it's great, the next week I could review the album, and because I don't like them, say it's shite.
It's called Integrity.
If they were just doing "whatever the editor says" then you would read the same thing every week.
It's a personal review, no-one reads it as a definitive answer (or at least they shouldn't.)
Everyone has their own opinions, including the people that write for NME, unfortunatly, like in this case, some of them are wrong. But that's life.

read paul morley in last sunday's observer music monthly - he freely admits that during his time at the NME editorial policy was filtered down from on high of what bands were to be praised and what bands were to be slated.
