Review: Possibly a relevant guide for a space alien wishing to do cultural research on the planet earth but for anyone who lives here and has the slightest awareness of heavy metal the academic phrasing of the text won't conceal how redundantly obvious most of the statements are. When the book isn't stating the obvious in it's dry elaborate way it's making some unsupported ignorant seeming claim. I'm sure there's plenty I could stand to learn about the genre, in the form of both insider commentary and intellectually rigorous outside observation, but neither is present in this book.
