"This book contributes subtly and powerfully to the important project of self-reflexively retheorizing musical analysis. Mowitt knits together the most complex cultural theory with the most influential popular music in surprising and illuminating ways."--Robert Walser, author of "Running with the Devil: Power, Gender, and Madness in Heavy Metal Music"
