I imagine if I was a music snob this would be an easy 5/5. I thought this was so well told and interesting the full way through, almost skipped it after reading his 'classic scrapes', incredibly glad I didn't. Loses some points for pushing kanye so much.

Not naming any names but this happened to my friend who for no reason read 200+ books (and the majority of "Bleach") in a year.

In "Perfect Sound Whatever", James recounts one of the most difficult years of his life and how obsessing over music released in 2016 became his fixation, his project. He has done the mature thing to have only compiled this book only after improving his own mental health. In that sense, the book does an amazing job at both introducing the reader (listener) to a variety of new artists and music and documenting one's breakdown in an honest manner. A part of me felt less alone after.
