Summary: A disappointing read!
Review: Two things kept me from enjoying this book. The first was the sense that the history it related was very disproportionate. The second was the overall feeling that the book was very hurriedly written.These two faults are never more evident than when the author is writing about what he terms "The First Wave" of Christian rock (1966-1979). To begin with, the author devotes less than fifty pages to this period (when Christian rock - by the mere fact that it was in its infancy - was at its most exciting possibility-wise) and almost three times that much space to everything 1980 and thereafter. Moreover, while reading about this "First Wave", one cannot help but feel that the author's mindset while writing that section was "Let's hurry up talking about this pre-1980 stuff, so that we can get to what interests me!" Case in point is the fact that little more than one paragraph is devoted to the group Agape (the first real Christian rock band and one which all agree was a trailblazer, a pioneer, and a maverick of Christian music)! A rather sloppy job, if you ask me.
