Maxim sorry for not listening to the new Black Crowes...

….before reviewing the CD

Maxim magazine has apologized for publishing a negative review of the Black Crowes‘ new album by a writer who hadn’t listened to the whole CD.

The review in Maxim’s March issue gives the Crowes’ “Warpaint” a rating of two-and-a-half stars out of five. The band posted an exasperated statement on its Web site last week saying the Maxim writer hadn’t heard the entire album because advance copies weren’t available. The Crowes’ manager, Pete Angelus, said the magazine explained that its review was an “educated guess.” [Yahoo]
