Perfectly entertaining, though didn't make me want to track down almost any of the albums being raved about. My fave essays were by Douglas Wolk & John Darnielle, and are worth reading if you happen across a copy.

Anthony Miccio's Dio essay is the greatest piece of writing ever. Kandia Crazy Horses Stephen Stills is the worst piece of writing ever. What a coincidence they are in the same book.

recommended to Cindy by: Daphne Carr
recommends it for: music-crit nerds
Much like Stranded, the original exercise, which came out in 1979: uneven but with some great, great, inspirational stuff that reminds one why being a crit-nerd's not all bad.
