:It's neither noteworthy nor self-evident that the magazine rarely gave reviews 5 stars, nor is there any reasonable way to verify that it's true or that the list is exhaustive. The general decline of the magazine's quality is plausible (no argument from me there), but whether there has been a decline, whether the list illustrates this point, and whether the list is generally interesting at all, are all matters of opinion.

It seems to me that Q are somewhat notorious for their fussines in reviewing albums - or not even fussiness necessarily, everything they review seems to get 3 stars, with a few exceptions. I was going to ask if anyone could find a source that mentions that they're seen as being fussy or something. It is certainly rare for them to give 5 stars, and I think the list is quite interesting considering how short it is relative to how long the magazine has been around.] 14:04, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Hello fellow Wikipedians,
Please be aware that Q magazine can give albums 5 stars to a certain album now that they didn't originally give 5 stars in the very first review of the certain album e.g. (What's The Story) Mornin Glory by Oasis, which originally got 3 stars but in an Oasis interview two years ago all the albums were rated and (What's the Stroy) Morning Glory was given 5 stars

Magazine criticism among subject musicians?

Roger Waters had a tense interview with Q in 1994 wherein he said the following:

Last time, Q printed lots of mud slinging between me and Gilmour. I'm not prepared to get involved in that again.

Reading that interview, it seems that the interviewer is trying to stir up trouble. Are there examples of this happening with other musicians? Is there a notable trend of Q capitalizing on tension or creating drama? Forresthopkinsa (talk) 07:14, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
