It's an exciting time at NME.COM this week as we unveil a new, better website for you to enjoy. Apologies in advance for the inevitable teething troubles this may (or may not - all good so far, touch wood) cause.

If you've noticed the design changes and numerous new features - we genuinely hope you like them and find them useful.

The thinking behind the changes is simple. We're creating more content than ever, every day now. From breaking music news, features and blog opinion pieces, to video interviews and photo galleries of the bands we love... there's tons more to dig into.

We're doing way more than just music news. NME.COM is now the best place to find out about new tours and get tickets before they sell out.

To compliment our own music reviews, we're bringing you the Rough Trade store's album recommendations every day as we know that loving the best new LPs is far from dead.

The new 'Editor's Picks' and 'Most Popular' sections should help you find the current highlights on the site at any given time.

To top off all the new content we've also given NME.COM a bit of a facelift. Hopefully you'll find the cleaner design and refreshed fonts easier to navigate and better-looking.

It's you the reader who makes this website what it is - all 4.5 million of you every month (a million more than this time last year) - so please comment below with any thoughts, suggestions or howling criticisms (though praise is welcome too, you know. We're human and need to be loved just like everybody else does, as someone - was it Calvin Harris? - once said).

Thanks for making NME.COM what it is.
