Great moments in journalism (a continuing series)
Warpaint, rock group The Black Crowes first new release in seven years, has been given two-and-a-half stars out of five by Maxim magazine. The only problem is the magazine hadnt actually heard the album. The review, written for the magazines March issue, says the new album hasnt left Chris Robinson and the gang much room for growth, but Black Crowes manager Pete Angelus says the writer never heard the album because advance copies werent made available. In a statement on the bands web site, Angelus writes, When confronted with the fact that they never heard the album they are claiming to review in their music section--with a star rating, no less--they attempt to explain that it was an educated guess.
