If you're going to get a snail-mag, I'd go with Mojo. But why do that when you can use the INTNERTNE?!?!?111`11`` My personal fave online is Brainwashed.
Regarding the Pitchfork thing... a lot of people take issue with the magazine based upon its reviews circa 2001 or so. If you take a look into their archives for a review of an album that you love that came out in the late 90s or so, you're more than likely going to find a rather sophomoric glowing or growling review. Such is the case with Internet writing in its infancy.
The reviews these days are pretty milquetoast and less biased, which is good at a time that their visibility and influence are at an all-time high. Don't feel bad about reading the damn thing if you're interested in a light reader on what's new in independent (but mostly pseudo-independent) music. Sure, they bring a lot of hype to stuff that appeals to a limited crowd, but doesn't just about every music journal do that? It's called editorial bias. Just remember: you don't agree with Pitchfork, Pitchfork agrees with YOU.
