Title: The guy doesn't like the band
Product review: With all due respect to the late author, you get the sense that he wrote this book to settle some kind of score. He was in his 20s in the 1970s playing sax in a jazz-rock group you've never heard of, probably cursing Led Zeppelin's success. His constant belittling of the band's work comes off as petty, gratuitous, and bizarre. He really doesn't like the band at all. Why write such a thoroughly researched, seemingly definitive book on a band you disdain? Ultimately, the book's tone of dispassionate history belies a very condescending review, bordering on a cool hatchet job of the group's work that just isn't fitting of the band's standing.
