The judge shall state in pronouncing sentence, and the judgment shall recite what consideration has been given, but no sentence shall be set aside or modified on review because of alleged failure to give such consideration unless the sentence imposed is longer than the maximum permitted under this Code for the offense, less the amount of allowable presentence confinement, and the judgment fails to recite that consideration has been given.
