Front

The Ultimate in ‘Lads Mags’ - FRONT most certainly caters for a generation brought up on a literary diet of ‘The Sun’. It is a glossy magazine in more ways than one., Firstly, Ladies, please excuse me for a highly sexist review of this Magazine – after all it is for the Lads. FRONT is brimful with photos of scantily clad (or not ‘clad’ at all!) ‘top totty’, all the latest designer fashions, ‘boys toys’, clubbing and features associated with boozing with your pals. In many ways it is today’s accepted and acceptable face of soft core porn. Not that I have anything against ...  Read the complete review

I gave up reading FHM and Loaded ages ago due to their apparent infactuation with filling up the magazines with adverts on more pages than articles, therefore making them look bulkier and good value for money. Whilst I am in favour of FHM's absolutely gorgeous array of celebrities and unknown women, it falls short on interesting articles. Front is a magazine which not only supplies eye candy, but also interesting articles about a wide variety of topics. It deals with all sorts of real life experiences, and also fun stuff aswell in a well written way. It beats Loaded on substance, mind you Howard Marks's column in Loaded is legendary. Front is the better ...  Read the complete review

The Men's Lifestyle is one of the most lucrative sectors in the magazine industry. It is also now one of the most competitive as well with new titles appearing all the time. The Main players are probably "FHM", "Loaded", "Maxim" and "Sky" and are well established. Front is a relative newcomer, having been on the market for just over two years. If you have ever read it you will have probably noticed that it is a similar vein to "Loaded", i.e. more of a "lads" mag than a "men's". This is mainly due to the fact that it was founded by Piers Hernu who used to employed as part of the ...  Read the complete review

Front is a newish magazine that fills that niche between FHM and Loaded. Its perhaps aimed at a slightly younger audience than FHM, but judging by its popularity round the office, I would say its ageless! I've tried reading Loaded, but for some reason, the stories/features just seem a bit too bland. Obviously, being Mens Magazines, there will be pictures of women in various stages of undress, but I found that Loaded a bit too crude. FHM on the other hand does have interesting prose, and I am an undying fan of it, but I reckon Front appeals to the younger side of me - it doesn't take itself too seriously, and generally can be quite amusing, with articles that ...  Read the complete review

i bought this at charle de gaulle airport last year as i needed something to read on the plane home. i wish i hadnt bothered. it makes loaded look like the godfather and takes less time to read than the daily star. written by idiots for idiots ( a quick glance at the letters page will tell you all you need to know) front is trying desperately hard to be loaded, heaven knows why. it falls well short of the mark though. amateur stuff ...  Read the complete review
