The album titles of more than 300 musical acts are turned on their heads—and their backs and their sides—when the anagram process is applied and collected in this encyclopedia. The entries take the titles of these classic pop and rock albums and employs the anagram form, resulting in new phrases which are both eerily accurate and disturbingly prophetic. Equally mindful of tradition and experience in the anagram-making, the hilarious and surprising, if somewhat harsh, truths about the albums will appeal to music lovers and word game aficionados alike.

This review is from: Warm Voices Rearranged: Anagram Record Reviews (Paperback)
I find it difficult enough to make anagrams from my name...these guys not only managed to make anagrams from phrases, but meaningful ones that are fitting to the original sentence!Their anagrams from Rock Star's album titles can be viewed as fittenly offensive (in most cases) which makes them all the more amusing. In addition, the forward contains interesting information on the history of anagrams.

This review is from: Warm Voices Rearranged: Anagram Record Reviews (Paperback)
This book is filled with colorful comments. With this book, once you start popping the fun don't stop. Popping being a the action of turning the page and reading anagrams. At times, the anagrams get close to being complete nonsense, but at the same time Brandan Kearney and Gregg Turkington don't fail to keep it entertaining.

This review is from: Warm Voices Rearranged: Anagram Record Reviews (Paperback)
I find it difficult enough to make an anagram of my name...these guys managed to make, not only anagrams from long sentences, but comments fitting to the original sentence! Because the anagrams are imaginative and unrelenting with biting remarks (picking on rock stars), I was in stitches. The forward contains interesting tidbits on the history of anagrams too.
