Figuring less is more, Spin magazine is moving most of its reviews to Twitter, where each album will be assessed in a single tweet at @SPINreviews. Senior editor Chris Weingarten says the decision is all about quality control and decluttering, adding that "the days of wasting people's time with 1,000 words about a record that we don't even think is good [are] over." Keep in mind that this magazine has been picking at Kurt Cobain's bones with bloated, falsely reverent tribute issues for well over a decade now.
