UNCUT publishes a weekly selection of music reviews, including adverts and articles about new, reissued and compilation albums. The music features are focused on genres such as Indie and Rock. This edition features David Bowie on the cover.
The target market is for the older generation – 30 +. It incorporates a male ‘geek’ factor. Its adverts are primarily focused on the male population with adverts for male face creams and car adverts, there is a double page bmw advert on the inside cover! What has this got to do with music? This magazine uses ‘proper’ language, and can be read by anyone potentially.
This magazine does not appeal to me as I am not whatsoever interested in the genres or the articles in that case. Someone who has got an interest would definitely have a field day with this magazine as there are so many articles about so many different artists.

A well considered review (and that is the opinion of someone from the older generation :-) but you haven't really engaged with the language of the publication.
