Format:Paperback
After having read this and Psychic Confusion, I am surprised there are no reviews for this book. Read this one first and thoroughly enjoyed it. Liked the way there were multiple introductions written. This book concentrated much more on introducing the reader to each member of the group and the various drummers over the years. You get a bit more 'personal' with the band and their previous lives here. The early 80's were covered in more depth here too than Psychic Confusion, which seemed to concentrate more on the 90s grunge scene. To get a fuller story on Sonic Youth, and also to get to 'know' the band members themselves a bit more, then I would read this book too aswell as Psychic Confusion. Top stuff.
