Maxim’s Record Reviews: Who Needs to Hear the Record?
The national slick publication Maxim has apparently decided that they can just make stuff up about CDs that they haven’t heard. The Kings of A& R site reports that “In the March issue of Maxim, David Peisner reviewed the new Black Crowes record, “Warpaint”, giving it a two and a half stars,” even though the label was not providing advance copies and Peisner had not heard it before writing the review.
The Associated Press reports that the magazine’s editor has issue an apology.
