You're absolutely right about Kerrang, I've never taken them seriously, they almost always put down Linkin Park, while endlessly putting over MCR.
The thing that always bugged me is in 2006/2007 they featured MCR on the cover about 6/7 times, no exaggeration, it was like they were on the cover every 2 weeks.
The state of mainstream crap in the last few years has been terrible mind, Kerrang used to be a great mag.
Its nice to see them compliment LP for once.
