The cover bills itself as the 25^th Anniversary Issue. I was still in the kiddie pool when this was first published, but now I feel well-aged since I remember the big to-do that MRR made for itself with its hundredth issue back when I was in college or some such thing. Huzzahs to them for sticking around! The modus operandi is the usual MRR fare, but as far as a 25^th anniversary issue, this was kind of a letdown. The subject matter in articles, interviews, and columns gives a “then-and-now” going over, but when I saw the billing on the cover, I was really looking forward to oodles of pictures from the last twenty-five years. Only five and a half montage pages. Disappointing. –The Lord Kveldulfr (Maximumrocknroll, PO Box 460760, SF, CA94146-0760)
