3.0

3.5 stars.

Fun, quick, and pretty funny at times. This would probably get a higher rating from me if it were more focused on the 90's rather than the 80's, because the nostalgia factor would be much higher. But Sheffield is a talented writer, and I love the way he writes about loving music, feels very much like Chuck Klosterman.

My only complaint on the audiobook is technical- I borrowed this in mp3 format from the library, and there were several chapters that seemed to end early because of skipping or clipping. It's the only time I've had that problem (and I've probably rented 6-10 mp3 audiobooks this way), and I hope this is an anomaly, rather than the beginning of a trend.
