4.0

The book was quite uneven, with some interviews/essays significantly better than the others. My main issue is that it's very anglo-centric, with maybe two exceptions, which were the highlights. I absolutely loved the chapter about Brazillian post-punk scene! It was insightful, informative and made me want to explore something I had previously no idea about.
I also liked that they didn't only focus on music, but the movement as a whole, touching subjects like film, gentrification, architecture and photography. It's worth reading.
