Week 10~ Write a review of "Uncut". Who is it aimed at? What is the magazine?

Uncut is a music magazine aimed at people from an older generation than the traditional consumers of the music periodical, an association that has been formed that the modern generation read other journals while “Uncut” is for a older and higher social status individual. This is exemplified by its use of intelligent language and references to the past including bibliographies of famous artists. Every edition also contains a review of the most recent releases of albums and singles in alphabetical order for the consumers’ convenience including re-releases of classic material. This convenience for the reader is essential if the magazine wishes to keep its target audience happy with what they are purchasing and continue to acquisition it in the future. One of the biggest issues with the magazine however is the overzealous use of pretentious language to try and prove that they are smarter than most magazines, it is not needed.

Not a bad review, although I think that you mean biographies rather than bibliographies of classic artists. I am not sure you have quite managed to capture the style of that 'pretentious' language though.
