“We think of pieces of music from a distance as blocks of time, but can we hold more than a second or two in our minds? And are we—with all music, to some extent—waiting around for some pinpointed extraordinariness to happen?" Ben Ratliff.

I think this was at times a very interesting read, but at others Ben Ratliff couldn't really find a way to explain the element he was getting at. For example when he was talking about Audio Space in Chapter 9, I don't think he ever really explained it in a way that was applicable to his audience. I also don't know that Audio Space really makes very much of a difference. Some of my favorite aspects were how he would explain his elements with examples. It's clear that Ratliff knows music, but when explaining songs to apply them to a certain element, he explains the songs so well that you really don't even have to hear them in order to understand what Ratliff is saying. I also really loved a lot of the elements. Some of them I had sort of felt before, like transmission, but I never had a name to put on it until now. Lastly, I definitely loved how he wrote the book to feel like a conversation and not a lecture. I found that some elements he just couldn't make relatable to anybody but himself. I also found that many times you don't really understand what he's saying unless you have a vast knowledge in music. Ratliff may be able to make his book very conversational, yet that doesn't always make the conversation understandable. The book has made me listen to music much closer and realize that there's a whole lot of different elements and ideas with all types of music, even the ones I don't necessarily enjoy.
