Reviews

[Anne Thessen · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great photos and information.

[Alicia · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book is mostly notable for its photographs. The writer's tone is quite arrogant, yet at the same time incredibly fawning. But the photos are stellar and include a lot of great punk/grunge bands of the 80s and 90s.

[Aaron · Rating 2 out of 5]

A lot of cool pictures of popular rock bands. That's why this isn't one-star. No substance. No new information. Totally disposable. Pseudo-journalism at its finest.
