‘A major plus is that Holmes employs a fluid, accessible writing style, entirely free of pretension. Combined with his objective approach, this results in compelling analyses that prioritise facts over personal opinion. ‘
‘[Holmes] delves into the case of Hand. Cannot. Erase., exploring its background in depth and examining how this influences the context of the individual tracks. He does the same with an album like To the Bone where references to ABBA inevitably surface—prompting both a smile and an approving nod from the reader. A major plus is that Holmes employs a fluid, accessible writing style, entirely free of pretension. Combined with his objective approach, this results in compelling analyses that prioritise facts over personal opinion. The reader is left to form their own judgment of Wilson’s work, an approach that also enhances the book’s timeless quality.’
