Average Rating: 
Rating: - It's no Esquire
There are a whole slew of men's interests magazines. There are the industry standards like Esquire (quite possibly the best magazine out there) and GQ. There's the more risque like Maxim or even the low-brow Stuff, worth getting. Then there are those that fall somewhere in the middle, like FHM and Details. Even without seeing magazines like Esquire or Maxim, you can see that Details falls short. It's a glossy magazine that usually has pretty good covers, but that's where the excellence stops. The articles are generally substandard. They are usually poorly written or can't seem to get the facts straight. Their only saving grace is that they are so short (which is a problem when you run across the occasionally well-done, interesting article). And Details is not a magazine that seems to have its hand on the pulse of the nation. More often than not, you skim through, looking for something interesting to read, and close it finding none. And in a men's interest/fashion magazine, nothing is more important than the photos. Unfortunately they are not that great. The photo spreads are way too short. But since the photographers have taken amatuerish or just poorly done photographs, it actually works out. Basically what you have with Details is a magazine that wants to be one of the big boys, but hasn't found a way to get there. You'd do better spending your money on an Esquire subscription.
Rating: - Its still good...
I was a big fan of Details my freshmen year in college...until new editors came in and changed the format of the magazine I loved. Smart-eleke remarks were converted into cultured critiques. Weird photo spreads started to bare striking similarities to photo shots by Vogue. I no longer felt as if I was getting inside the head of a wise cracking, "hipster" male but being forced to listen to the ponderings of guys who took themselves WAY too seriously. (Its never cool to try too hard and one GQ is enough.) But I picked it up again about a year ago and saw that it is slowly coming back to its old style. Its still a good buy.
Rating: - Benjamin Scott
Details is best described as more intellectual than Maxim (and it's 20+ clones), but not as pretentions or materialistic as GQ and company. Excellent subject matter, the best writting of any entertainment magazine in publication, reliable critics, and fashion shoots that are actually interesting and have clothes even I would wear make it the most enjoyable and relevant mag around. Through and through, Details is THE magazine out today, and probably will be for a long time. (Plus it is cheap as sin!)
