I always thought it was interesting that B was involved since he doesn't know what song is on which album and only knows merch.

So, nope. No B.

That's fair.

Gonna be hilarious when B pre-orders his own book and then complains about it not arriving for a year and a half

I was coming here to defend B's work but got distracted by this post

Vs and the No Code -> Riot Act run is the most interesting part of the book, I think.

the Ten and Vitalogy chapters were the ones I found the most challenging

i'll be disappointed if shipping is anything less than $50.

I had $11.47 in amazon credit so I went ahead and ordered this thing. Feel better about only paying $20

If we can identify you, it's an extra 5 bucks.

I should absolutely be provided a discount - I've been fighting for you on Reddit!

Sadly I don't think Khuntza will be buying a book...

Plenty of Khuntza round here.

How much did you guys pay that Sirav guy?

Does the book focus exclusively on lyrics?

If there's no ranking of something - songs, lyrics, albums at least - then I am gonna be pissed.

there wasnt enough space for long line by line takes - the focus is on themes, ideas, messages - what the songs are trying to convey/accomplish and how theynarenin conversation with the larger catalog but it certainly leans more heavily into lyrics than the music. We talk about how life performances have transformed some songs, and take a stab at documenting some of the more essential live performances of each

so not exclusively- but youve seen how i approach talking about pearl jam. that didnt transform. page limits just forced me to get to the point much quicker
