Title: Anger is an energy that achieves what?
Product review: Nehring takes to task the postmodernists who dismiss anger and strong emotion in rock music.These critics see rock as being simply a packaged consumer product, whereas Nehring would like to think angry rock has some sort of significance.He never explains exactly what are the positive things this anger can achieve.He shows a lack of knowledge of psychology and true initiation when he criticises Michael Ventura, and Robert Bly (author of The Sibling Society), who have written with insight about the predicament of modern youth.This book has hardly anything to say about actual music.It is mostly negative, being a shallow critique of "postmodernist" views on rock music.
