Maxim Pans Black Crowes Album -- Without Actually Hearing It

The Black Crowes' new album, 'Warpaint,' isn't a very good one and "hasn't left Chris Robinson and the gang much room for growth," according to a music reviewer in the March issue of the esteemed publication Maxim. Actually, for the word "reviewer," substitute "soothsayer," as scribe David Peisner arrived at his two-and-a-half-star (out of five) assessment of the retro-rockers' first studio LP in seven years without actually having listened to it! The band's label, Megaforce, had not released any advance copies of the disc.Suffice to say, Chris Robinson and his mates are just a bit perturbed about this no-hear-'em critique from the magazine best known for its stature as the primary literature choice of girlfriendless teen boys. Squawks the Crowes' manager, Pete Angelus, "In my opinion, it's a disgrace to the arts, journalism, critics, the publication itself and the public. What's next -- Maxim's concert reviews of shows they never attended, book reviews of books never read and film reviews of films never seen?"
Don't leave out publishing pictures of scantily attired B-list actresses they've never, er, met.

Spinner,
Many thanks for your candid reporting of Maxim's erroneous review of The Black Crowes forthcoming album, "Warpaint" ... .. pre-release security on this album has been handled by the artist's label Silver Arrow / Megaforce and Web Sheriff and, for the avoidance of doubt, review copies have not been sent-out to magazines etc.
Regards,
WEB SHERIFF
