HAHA that is the funniest thing I have heard all day. Just you know, a hypothesis that its only 50% decent.

I was going to post something on this, too, Erik, but you beat me to it.
I think what caught the Black Crowes' attention was that he gave the record a 2.5 star review. Jim Derogatis wrote that there was a sign up at Rolling Stone when he was there that said "3 Stars Is Never Having to Say You're Sorry". If they followed that rule, I bet no one would know.
I'm feeling kind of naive and foolish because I take the time to listen to every CD I review.

You know what the obvious next chapter in this is now this is becoming a news story? Maxim will apologize, review the album for real, and give it a 1.5. I bet the Black Crowes won't be sending out press releases then.

What a shameful thing to print. I don't know... I guess I take my reviews seriously and try to devour a record before I write a single word on it. How silly am I? I obviously don't know what it's like to be a REAL music writer. :)

I haven't read that one (not a Maxim fan), so maybe they were just giving the IDEA of a new Black Crowes album 2.5 out of 5. Which, really isn't much of a rating. 2.5 is like saying you accept the albums existence but can't be bothered to qualify it with an opinion.
