Check out the article above. I don't put much weight in the magazine as it is but to review an album without hearing it first is pretty lame and makes the magazine look even more pathetic. And there sad response is even worse. They can't even own up to it.

Answer 1

not really black crows are a one hit wonder and I'm shure there where a few songs leaked on the web that they did hear. and they don't wanna give up a source . maxim is a great mag this wouldnt stop me from buying it at all .....

Answer 2

Maxim has been a joke for a long time.

Answer 3

You forgot "Jealous Again," "Twice as Hard," "Sister Luck," and "Seeing Things". They are 92 on VH1's list of top 100 musicians of all time. Great band. I am disappointed in Maxim. Not going to cancel my subscription though. I have had it forever, and I have 5 years left on it.

P.S. Who cares what Jim says? You can't take anyone serious when they have to pull out an encylopedia to talk about music. Clearly he is no audiophile.

Answer 4

Yeah, That's ridiculous....

"An educated guess" *LOL*
