As I see it, Close Up includes too many "-core" bands, and some of the reviewers seem to care more about being cool than actually giving you good descriptions of the albums, reviews which in their entities look like this; "..this is lame", aren't uncommon. They also have an annoying habit of including their leftist views here and there, it's a music magazine dammit, not a political magazine.
Sweden Rock Magazine often includes too many geezer bands like TNT, Def Leppard and Treat, but overall they're more professional I think.
