Nothing Feels Good

[AloneInTheDark]

I heard a lot of negative things about this book, but still decided to buy it anyways. I found it fairly interesting, I'm only about 1/4 of the way through it, but they're touching on a lot of really influential bands. They make the scene seem so much more polite than it actually is, but that's really beside the point. I think a lot of people that are calling thier faviorte bands "Emo" should really read the first few chapters of this book.

It's good. I've read it like 4 times, but I do disagree with a lot of the bands mentioned and terms used. It pisses me off at times.

It has its good points and bad points. Like any book.

They talk about that album in the book.

I only read excerpts of the book at B&N, but I felt that the title, Nothing Feels Good, was a really bad one for a book that is supposed to educate people about emo. Yeah, I know it's a Promise Ring reference, but this only reinforces the idea that emo is a whiny genre to people on the street who know nothing of emo besides what Rolling Stone/MTV call emo.

what i read was pretty interesting though.
