4.0

A great read. The collected articles vary in lenght but never in quality. Jessica Hopper's writing style is playful and witty yet also profound when we look back at the artists, bands and scenes through her eyes.

The only thing that I didn't like so much is that it features quite a few non-rock centered articles like Rap and Pop. Not that I don't like to read about those once in a while, too, but I felt like they took up space that could have been filled with other topics revolving around rock music, especially its fringers and subgenres.

Also: this is perfect for your daily commute.
