Synopses & Reviews
Review:
"It was only a matter of time before a clever publisher realized that there is an audience for whom Exile on Main Street or Electric Ladyland are as significant and worthy of study as The Catcher in the Rye or Middlemarch. The series... is freewheeling and eclectic, ranging from minute rock-geek analysis to idiosyncratic personal celebration." The New York Times Book Review
Review:
"Ideal for the rock geek who thinks liner notes just aren't enough." Rolling Stone
Review:
"One of the coolest publishing imprints on the planet." Bookslut
Review:
"These are for the insane collectors out there who appreciate fantastic design, well-executed thinking, and things that make your house look cool. Each volume in this series takes a seminal album and breaks it down in startling minutiae. We love these. We are huge nerds." Vice
Review:
"A brilliant series... each one a word of real love." NME
Review:
"Passionate, obsessive, and smart." Nylon
Review:
"Religious tracts for the rock 'n' roll faithful." Uncut
Review:
"We... aren't naive enough to think that we're your only source for reading about music (but if we had our way... watch out). For those of you who really like to know everything there is to know about an album, you'd do well to check out Continuum's 33 1/3 series of books." Pitchfork

Teenage angst isn't the most obvious element of this recording, but Jim Fusilli successfully reveals the strong undercurrent of Brian Wilson's unhappiness with fame and his place in the world, which is the foundation of Pet Sounds. Fusilli's personal relationship with the record at a critical time in his youth, offers a legitimate reason why this album is important. But stylistically, he sounds more like a university professor than a seasoned writer about music. But considering the songs and the nature of the author's presentation, I felt like I was in a lecture hall. When is our next class?
