Review:
Amusing enough
The Book Of Loud wasn't what I expected at all, but I quite
like it for what it is.
I thought this would be an illustrated history of Marshall
amps in Rock, which I would still be very interested in if anyone wants to
write it. Instead it's a pick-up-and
dabble book with loads of utterly random stuff, often presented in several
boxes to a page, like A Week of Rock, with seven rock songs each featuring a
different day in the title, or the various hairstyles used by rockers over the
years, or just a list of random trivia, like which silly pseudonym is used by Ozzy
Osbourne when he checks into a hotel.
There are very few photos, but a lot of line drawings which
are of variable interest. The whole
thing is decently presented and amusing enough, without being in any way
profound. I can recommend it as a light
read to dip into for a few minutes at a time.
