The author continues to repeat the same points. Also; the second section of this book is about how our understanding of an artist; whether it is accurate or not affects; our interpretation of their music and vice versa. That section was almost completely worthless and paints the media as evil.My main problem with this book is that the author uses fragments of lyrics to explain entire songs. In many cases I found what he said to contradict my interpretation of the song even after hearing the reasoning behind it. I just think if you are going to analyze a piece of writing you have to look at the entire complete piece before coming to a conclusion.Now the book did have some positives. I liked that lyrics that were later changed were included and showed the development of the songs. Also; Larry Cranes insight was worth while.All together I would suggest you skip the book and just read the lyrics yourself and come to your own conclusions.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A Must Read For Elliott Smith FansBy R.Scott BoundyThis is one of the best books available on Elliot Smith. If you are a fan then you probably own the very excellent XO. ( My friend Emily who owns a Record Store calls it her favorite E.S. Record) The author discusses the circumstances surrounding the making of XO and also discusses each song from the album in a most intelligent; interesting; introspective; yet objective way. In addition; in Part Two of the book; LeMay delves into who the late Elliot Smith really was and exposes some of the common misconceptions surrounding the Artist. After reading this very well written book; I have gained a new appreciation for XO and am hearing it and enjoying it in a new and beautiful light.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
