    They probably heard "Primus sucks!" somewhere and went with it.


    LOL!!! So True. Blender sucks in the true sense of the word sucks. I have read it a few times and it seems the people writing the stories have never actually gone to any shows to see the bands they are reviewing.



    And Primus Sucks because I love them and I am one with the frizzle fry (see nic for further explanation

    February 27, 2008 -- RAPPER Nas was shocked when Maxim gave his new album, "N - - - - r," a 2 1/2-star review - because it isn't even finished yet. "I'm finishing the album now, and it will be out April 22," Nas told Page Six. Maxim has since apologized for the premature review, but Nas doesn't care. "I'd prefer [a review from] Playboy," the rapper said. "That kind of stuff doesn't reach my radar or effect anybody around me. I don't know what a music rating from Maxim is . . . I don't know what it even means really." Maxim also reviewed the Black Crowes' album, "War Paint," without listening to it in its entirety.

    From what I've heard, this album is going to be amazing... Sadly, I have only heard one song, so I am not going to judge it just yet... but I will say, I can't wait to get this!

    Crowes Rule! And in the spirit of their hippy, pot-smoking and peace-loving ways, I will kill the first person to disagree. War Paint!

    more bands should follow the crowes lead on this. it is march 2nd and the album still hasn't leaked due to them not releasing advance copies.

    Brixton or Amsterdam are not "Warpaint" shows.

    I imagine a large proportion of the gig will be, buts its not being advertised as Warpaint in its entirety, other shows are, expect some old songs

    maxim sucks...:mad:

    NEW YORK - 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."

    Maxim editorial director James Kaminsky responded Tuesday with this statement: "It is Maxim's editorial policy to assign star ratings only to those albums that have been heard in their entirety. Unfortunately, that policy was not followed in the March 2008 issue of our magazine and we apologize to our readers."

    A spokeswoman for the magazine contacted by The Associated Press declined to say whether the writer would face disciplinary action.

    "Warpaint," the Black Crowes' first album in seven years, is set for release March 4. The blues-rock group, fronted by Chris Robinson, has released only one song from the disc, "Goodbye Daughters of the Revolution."

    The band's hits include "Hard to Handle" and "She Talks to Angels."
