Reviews
"Goodbye 20th Centuryis as much a chronicle of the combustion of music and popular culture they helped ignite as it is an earnest portrait of the band and examination of their work…if you can remember how deliriously new and untouchably cool Sonic Youth sounded the first time you heard them, Browne's book will suck you in…Particularly enjoyable is Browne's account of the group's early years… Browne sheds light on their sound…He also fleshes out the personalities and occasional tensions behind the band's deadpan image."-Los Angles Times, 6/5/08, "Compulsively readable...Browne succeeds at capturing the personalities and debates that shape the band's character."-Publishers Weekly, "Compulsively readable...Browne succeeds at capturing the personalities and debates that shape the band's character."--"Publishers Weekly", "[Browne] found a neat narrative to work with, charting the group's determinedly paced journey from under populated gigs in the arty early-'80s downtown scene to its brush with alt-rock fame in the mid '90s to its current status as an inspiration to a nation of young experimentalists."-Time Out New York"Browne takes a conventional approach to the story of an unconventional band…His relatively objective approach acknowledges the band's impact on popular and underground culture without descending into the obnoxious sentimentality that characterizes so much of rock journalism…[His] writing style provides the necessary information about the band's history without exploiting their coolness, critical acclaim, or personal traumas."-VenusZine, "Browne's narrative brings drama to its telling by treating every bump in the road or milestone like a climax and floating the sense that their ascension to godhead heights was anything but inevitable...[his] willingness to probe every facet of every member's activities and proclivities adds and extra dimension…By diligently hitting all the angles - there's plenty of regret about their various decision over the years - Browne comprehensively captures Sonic Youth's unorthodox legend in full."-Metrotimes, 6/4/08, "Browne comprehensively captures Sonic Youth's unorthodox legend in full"-Detroit Metro Times, 6/4/08, "Browne does a fabulous job of detailing the setting, technical details and artistic temperament in the group's creative process without hyperbole. The book can't help but feel nostalgic for a cozy time before punk broke."-Time Out Chicagofour star review "David Browne expertly guides the reader through a minefield of recent rock history…Goodbye 20th Centurysucceeds in bringing us a little closer to an act that has managed to stay cool and aloof for three decades while taking us along for the ride. And, most importantly, it reminds us that art can still change the world."-Under the RadarÂ
