ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
 
 
Entertainment Weekly  (sometimes abbreviated as EW) is an American magazine, published by Time Inc., that covers film, television, music, Broadway theatre, books and popular culture.  Different from celebrity-focused publications like Us Weekly, People (a sister magazine to EW), and In Touch Weekly, EW primarily concentrates on entertainment media news and critical reviews.  However, unlike Variety and The Hollywood Reporter, which are aimed at industry insiders, EW targets a more general audience.  (More from Wikipedia)
 
 

There was a noticeable dip in the ratings given by rock critics of Bob Dylan’s Christian recordings.  That was not true so much for Slow Train Coming – Robert Christgau of the Village Voice gave the album a B+ and wrote:  “The lyrics are indifferently crafted.  Nevertheless, this is his best album since Blood on the Tracks.  The singing is passionate and detailed.”  Allmusic and Rolling Stone both rated the album ***.  

 

For Savedthe Rolling Stone rating stood, but Allmusic gave the album only **, and Christgau scored it as C+.  Entertainment Weekly showed a C–.  Shot of Love had ** from both Rolling Stone and AllmusicChristgau and Entertainment Weekly showed B–.  

 

With Infidels though, all was forgiven:  Rolling Stone and Allmusic were both at ****.
