Advantages: Original format, Pure comedy

Disadvantages: Outdated format, Little relevant content

Loaded is yet another men?s magazine available in the U.K., offering news and information on contemporary men?s issues, such as health, music, gadgets, to name a couple of areas. Whilst Loaded is one of the oldest men?s magazines, it is currently being outsold by both FHM and Front.

As the market for men?s magazines has grown, the style of writing and quality of content have improved, and it is arguable as to whether or not Loaded has adapted to these changes. Offering far less than FHM in terms of quality and quantity, Loaded is a magazine that I would recommend, but not as regular reading material.

As with other magazines in this area, all the usual interviews are included, but the tyle of interview technique doesn't really seem to ask the questions you'd want answered. Additionally, the regular features in Loaded do not really provide enough to make regular purchasing attractive, and there are no celebrities (other than in interviews) contibuting to the magazine - meaning that there is no stylistic variance across the magazine, making it a somewhat tiresome read.

Whilst the content may appear a little light, this magazine does cover some topical areas. However, considering its' style of writing, I could only recommend reading Loaded whimsically - certainly not a time filling magazine.
