"Artists Who Thrill Because of the Way They Say Rather Than What They Say"

"Still, You're History benefits from the author's commitment to engaging only with what turns her on, rather than dutifully undertaking a wider survey. A slim, fast read, the book offers a pure hit of prose pleasure. The writing embodies the polemic, which is refreshing at a time when music criticism has never been so virtuous and so inattentive to the bliss that is pop’s greatest gift."
