Poor research and poor results
30. Dezember 2011
Format:Taschenbuch
Sadly, this is just not worth reading. It may be nice to have to complete a collection. It is not as bad as the guide to the Velvet Underground but it is close. Just don't bother.

Don't bother; it's that simple.

I picked this up on the cheap a few weeks ago, and to say the least, I'd be infuriated to have paid full price.
It only takes one example to prove how absolute shoddy, sloppy, and downright careless this author is with his subject matter:
"Waters, still touring DSOTM into 2008, managed just a cover of The Doors' 'Hello, I Love You' on _The Last Mimzy_ soundtrack." (this text refers to recent post-Live 8 activity).
That's *straight* from the text, page 152 to be precise.
Do yourselves a favor and avoid this tome. What looks like an actual good idea for a book, regarding how it's set up and divided among its chapters, flails and flounders about like a fish out of water, gasping for air and choking on its own not-so-hidden agenda. The author takes every opportunity to lob some of the nastiest and flat out *meanest* criticism I've ever read, and one can only think that somewhere along the line, he was advanced enough money to finance some kind of hatchet job. Harsh criticism and intelligent wit is one thing; snotty crassness, which this author delivers in spades, is something else altogether and comes from a very nasty place.
Spend your cash on any (or all) the books penned by Nick Schaffner, Mark Blake, Andy Mabbett, and Glen Povey / Ian Russell. With the sheer wealth of fantastic writing available on the Floyd, especially from these sources, there's absolutely no clear reason why anyone should pay full price for this.

The Rough Guide to PF - Meh
27. August 2008
Format:Taschenbuch
Not much new here if you're a Floyd fan and you've read everything on the group
The new Blake bio on the group (called Comfortably Numb in the States) is a more worthwhile read. This really doesn't add much to what fans of the group already know
