Buy or Sell, Rolling Stone magazine completely loses credibility for constantly re-rating albums?

I personally believe that the magazine is a joke and surely the fact that they constantly go back and re-rate albums once they have been well received by fans just proves that it is populist garbage and nothing more. In my opinion they should not be taken seriously as a music critique,(well of Hip-Hop anyway) anyone agree?

Eminem summed it up in "Careful What You Wish For"
"Every CD critics gave it a 3, then 3 Years later, they'd go back and re-rate it
And call the Slim Shady LP the greatest."

Heres some examples

Nas- I Was Written (1996, 2 stars) (2004, 4 stars)

NWA- Straight Out Of Compton (Was given a 5 star rating in 2002, they didn't even review it when it came out).

Dr. Dre- The Chronic (1993, 4 stars) (2004, 5 stars)

Jay-Z- Reasonable Doubt (1996, 4 stars) (2004, 5 stars)

They have done this with countless albums, these were just the first examples that came to mind.

Anyway your thoughts please...

Rolling Stone has lost all creditability to me as well.

I remember when Mariah's GLITTER cd came out (soundtrack for the ill-fated movie of the same name) and they gave it a 3 star rating.

Then, once the movie was released and it tanked (both at the box office and with the critics) they suddenly jumped on the bandwagon and lowered it down to 1 star. I mean...WTF?

I say, you be your own judge. Only you can decide what you like and what you don't. F*ck the critics.
