It's the May, 2004 issue. The cover is one of the girls from the new Van Helsing movie.
Here's a type up of the review:
Say you're the guns behind Guns N' Roses and you need a frontman to replace eyebrowless loony tune Axl Rose. Where to turn? Obviously trolling rehab centers and bus stations, Slash and the guys found their man: former Stone Temple Pilot and career fuckup Scott Weiland! What could go wrong? Ignoring the offstage drama and giving Contraband a listen, we have to say ... not a damned thing. Although Rose was all maniac energy and Weiland is more boozy charm, Contraband sounds like these guys have been mainlining Appetite for Destruction. At first Weiland clearly struggles to keep up ("Sucker Train Blues"), but he finds his groove over the brash guitars and brawny drums. On "Dirty Little Thing," he knowlingly sings, "Get away from the man who's stealing your life/Get away from the drugs you're taking." He sounds like a man ready to slow down, yet he's as reinvigorated as his new mates. Welcome back to the jungle, guys. ---Jon Caramanica
Hopefully not too many typos, on my part

Glad to see it got a positive review, but Maxims reviews are pretty meaningless. They focus more on extracurriculur bullshit than music.

Well, it may be Maxim, but any good reviews these guys can get we'll take. Lord knows there's a whole slew of critics out there just chomping at the bit to shit on this record.

Same here. GNR has had the shit knocked out of them too many times...
It seems now like Guns N' Roses is done, the guys have moved on and done new stuff, and Axl has disappeared into rock n roll folklore...a new GN'R album doesn't seem right anymore...

Definitely. It's easier to look forward to something when you
KNOW
it's gonna actually happen, and when.
