The book is a record guide - a collection of album reviews - and a great listener's guide to progressive rock, amassing some 250-300 reviews of classic prog rock records. They're neither cursory nor hagiographic, and for the most part he's right on the mark with each album, with loads of facts on each. For the new listener, it's a goldmine of discovery. For the hardcore fan, it's an affirmation of what made prog rock such good listening.
Not the most insightful book on Prog rock I've read, but a great primer for someone trying to learn about genre.
