This is a well-researched book from a person with serious expertise on the ring.

This detracts from a keen read at times.
Although Night Blackness and Blue is the biography Soundgarden fans have been waiting for, it's almost and AUTObiography of a fan of the band, and that is lame at times. Nosotros must put upward with Prato's "I first saws" and "I first heards " as if they feature large significance to us the reader, his parking and seating experiences at concerts he attended, and his opinion of the songs—he doesn't similar "Fell on Black Days" or "Live to Rise" (or want to meet the Avengers no thing how pop it is)—and so writes them off. This sort of opinionating is unavoidable in a band bio, merely it often takes away from an otherwise swell book.
If yous love Soundgarden you will love this book, only if you've read as much Prato as I have, you'll wish he stuck in the testimonial style of Grunge Is Expressionless.

What the book did is provide an acceptable chronology of Soundgarden events from before their germination till Chris' expiry and the present day. A good portion of the information included in the volume can be found on the original Soundgarden website or on YouTube. Though admittedly written by a fan of Soundgarden, in that location was a piddling too much personal opinion and cutesy-ness in the script which included copious amounts of abbreviations where it was unnecessary and author's views on whether a vocal was What the book did is provide an acceptable chronology of Soundgarden events from before their formation till Chris' death and the nowadays day.

The volume is good, I've appreciated some little gold nuggets... when he'due south describing the songs of the released albums... it'due south a little slow. The interviews at the finish are very prissy, specially the Jim Rose'south one.

This review has been subconscious considering information technology contains spoilers. To view it, click hither. I was really looking forward to reading this book. Every bit a Soundgarden/Chris Cornell fan, I was excited to learn more than about the band, the music, and what moved them. Totally disappointed by this poorly written and edited volume that ultimately was more about the author's love of Soundgarden and his estimation and opinion of their albums. I actually got more out of reading the interviews at the back of the volume. So many times he had the opportunity to foreshadow and tell a existent story about the ban I was really looking forward to reading this book.
