A review by quietjenn
The First Collection of Criticism by a Living Female Rock Critic by Jessica Hopper

4.0

I've been reading Hopper off and on since the Hit It or Quit It days and even when I don't agree with her or feel particularly invested (or, um, even knowledgeable) of the artist and/or issues she'w talking about, I've consistently found her writing to be intelligent, interesting and thought-provoking. And I'm super keen on her voice. All of these things are found in abundance here, including my own failing knowledge of the kids these days and their music. I do wish that there were more bits of her more recent work and conversely wish that there were more fanzine stuff, if only because I suspect all my old music zines got tossed from a closet at my mom's house a long time ago. But I'm sure that the internet will help out with those things, at least until the Second Collection of Criticism by a Living Female Rock Critic comes out.
