Title: NOT a great collection...
Product review: Having read and thoroughly enjoyed "Psychotic Reactions and Carbeurator Dung", it seemed logical that a writer as smart, funny, and insightful as Lester Bangs would certainly have another book's-worth of great stuff in him, and I assumed that this collection would be it. Unfortunately, no. To be sure, there are some great pieces in here, like his lengthy recap of his trip to Jamaica to check out the reggae scene first-hand, but there are too many long-winded rants about whatever and too much stream-of-consciousness bio-junk, and I ended up skimming and skipping an awful lot of it. If you're a TOTAL Bangs junkie, well, you probably already have and love this thing...the more casual Bangs admirer is advised to beware.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
