3.0 out of 5 stars Very Good for the first few chapters but then..., July 30, 2009
This review is from: The Vinyl Countdown: The Album from LP to iPod and Back Again (Paperback)
I was really enjoying reading this book, at first. I am very fascinated with the technological, historical, and social contexts surrounding Western Pop Culture. Chapters 1 through 3 deliver on this very well. But then the "music critic" lurking inside the author's brain starts to break loose. From objective and insightful prose, Mr. Elborough sinks into pompous, condescending, smug, over-simplifying opinions and the re-writing of history, just like the rest of his ilk. I am now trying to force my way through the second half of this tome and it keeps getting harder and harder.

What a let-down.
