Received mine yesterday but haven't read it yet. I just bring them into work to read at lunch.
They've had a LOT of changes recently with a few big names moving on and the writing not being as nerdy (IMO a bad thing)
I think that it started to drop off once Harry stepped down, then when Dickie and Harry stopped contributing as much, even more so.
I'll still sub to it though. It's still the best on the shelf.
I think someone commented on here recently about how Dan Prosser was writing 90% of the mag in recent months lol, but he's now moved on (gone freelance?). I think the same is true of Henry?
I don't know - it's just personal writing styles and some of the previous writers have nailed it for me, so the change will take some adjusting.
I kind of found some of the articles to have a couple of cringe-y moments recently - the one that ended on "
And now to [the track]!" just smacked to me of someone who ran out of space and needed a link to the next part of the article, and there was something in this edition with an exclamation mark that I thought was... unnecessary. Perhaps I just prefer a 'drier' writing style.
Either way, I think it is still probably one of the best mags out there. I've not read Octane (which I think is its sister mag?) so I might start checking out some options as well.
