Their niche genre articles were actually pretty good, I would read them every now and then to find new bands to listen to. They hit a nice sweet spot of highlighting five or so releases per article so that you weren't overwhelmed with picks but had options, and the writing surrounding them was usually pretty good, you could tell the authors really cared about the music.
