Title: Are you kidding me?
Review: Sorry, but this book totally sucks. The "angular" writing is nothing more than unbridled ramblings. Bangs often struggles to develop a singular, cohesive theme about a particular band other than writing about the band itself (kind of). The chapters read like every cliche music feature written post-Bangs in Rolling Stone, Spin, and various other rock mags. In a sense, you can't blame Bangs for being that influential, but still, for current-day readers, it's as if you've read his work a thousand times already. I really wanted to like this book, but there's just very little to get excited about. You're much better off reading a good blog about a particular band.
