What’s the point of mentioning an album that I’m a “tool” for buying? Also, what exactly would you call a person that works for a magazine that promotes popular trends and corporate sponsorship, over raw undiscovered talent?

well said sam.

If I’m a tool for liking the Libertines, then you Rolling Stone are the biggest tools of all. It was you I learned about them from and, like Sam said, you are promoting this album by picking it for your feature. not sure how much sense that makes.

Glad I don’t pay for your garbage anymore.

Rolling Stone, why do you not review Ghostaface’s until the last paragraph of the review. At first I though you were reviewing 8 diagrams instead.

Fire that guy, his reviews are consistently horrible.

was that if you buy this rip-off “best-of” you are a tool, because it has NO new songs on it. he does NOT slag off the libertines or their fans. good listening, bros.

well of course if you already own the songs douche…but what’s wrong with somebody new to the material buying this album…better than buying only 3 or 4 songs off iTunes.

It’s not like they’re going to get back together or anything.

Fact is, if Rolling Stone had a problem with the album then IGNORE it. There are plently of other artists who could use a corporate backing like RS.

which album are you reviewing ghos or wu? get lost. agreed.

this comment is off topic only because Rolling Stone gives no other platform to comment about their Led Zeppelin feature.

Fuck off Rolling Stone. You guys criticized the band insanely when they came out. Fuck off for jumping on the bandwagon thirty years later. I hate you guys…

The Libertines were the closest we ever came to having The Beatles again. the chemistry, enthusiasm, and songwriting skills of Barat and Doherty were on scale with Lennon and MCCartney. It wasn’t like the previous albums and eps were easy to come buy. On a good day, you might find a marker for the band in an empty bin at best buy. So, if repackaging the material is a way to get their music out to more people, so be it. And damn, The beatles are the kings of repackaging the same songs over and over again.

“Off topic”, you don’t want to make us angry!!! Believe me you don’t want to see THE MONSTER.

(Preside nt, Public Relations)

yo dexter! Even though I doubt you are actually affiliated in any way with this “magazine,” for the purposes of ranting I will act as though you are an employee of the cororate machine known as Rolling Stone.

This publication declined to the point I didn’t want my subscription anymore. I don’t mean I didn’t renew my subscription…I mean I got so pissed off at receiving issues with bands like Fall Out Boy on the cover a week after Pink Floyd is on the cover.
I’d rather throw my half done subscription away (which I did) that get pissed off every two weeks when my issue came in the mail.

Now, when I chose, I go to the website to get the info I ignorantly previsouly paid for. Most of the time I find the reviews have not been updated, the blog is info I read on Pitchfork the day before, and the politics read as close-minded, hatedful rhetoric filled with misinformation and downright lies.

So yeah Dexter, bring on The Monster…

Rolling Stone = Facism

censorship Rolling Stone? whatever happened to freedom of speech.

OH, MY GOD! You really DON’T have sense of humor, do you???

You are truly SAD!!!

your all wankers!!Kings of leon are the greatest fuckin band ever and always will be!fuck you and the libertines you knob.The beatles and all that shit is over,wont ever be done again.hate people that always compare everything t the beatles!kol

Who the hell are the Libertines first of all, seems ridiculous to call some indie posers beatle-esque, screw that! Also, WU TANG is back!!! Make room for the real MCs, screw Hurricane Chris and all those fake ringtone rappers, the Wu is coming through to rescue hip-hop from all the simple lyrics and R&B collabs.

wtf?

How is rolling stone going to combine the ghostface and wu review? I thought laat week that it was a mistake, but now I see both albums have THE EXACT SAME REVIEW. Rolling stone gets worse every week. STOP BEING LAZY!!!
