Q seriously needs to find its direction again. The new re-design is awful, after a run of great covers you are resorting to collage covers again with great space-consuming lists at the detriment of features, and now you appoint an editor that I would hardly describe as "fresh". You used to be the best music magazine around. Not any more. There is such a wealth of NEW music talent around at the moment, and as usual, Q champions the old bastards that have been around the block 20 times already. Good on you for putting Lana, Florence, and Black Keys on the cover (well the latter on the subscriber cover anyway - what is that about), but please do not subject your readers to another run of collage covers and best of lists. It is lazy. Lazy and cheap. Speaking of cheap, the paper used in the May issue is one-step up from toilet paper. Get your act together Q - and maybe appointing someone who has their finger on the pulse of MODERN music would be a start. Also, your website is a mess - get it sorted.
