I was not surprised when they shut down the City Pages. It had become a shadow of its former self (and its former self was OK, but I can't imagine it deserving a write up in a national paper?). Any kind of credible music journalism had been gone for years. Honestly, reading this review I have to wonder, did the author even read the City Pages very often? For the last few years it was mostly a regurgitation of what was popular on Twitter with some salacious headlines thrown in.
- cowsandmilk 6y agoThe author was the music editor at city pages from 2017-shut down, so I would assume he did read their music journalism, but might be biased about its importance.
- eric_b 6y agoYikes, that certainly does explain the write up. Maybe also explains the incredible decline in quality of writing over the last few years.
