Magazine Reviews Band Without Hearing The Music

The Black Crowes were surprised to see a review of their latest in Maxim. The magazine didn’t have the album, and when challenged, an editor replied: “Of course, we always prefer to (sic) hearing music, but sometimes there are big albums that we don’t want to ignore that aren’t available to hear, which is what happened with the Crowes. It’s either an educated guess preview or no coverage at all, so in this case we chose the former.”
