"A remarkable new book . . . [Ratliff] goes leaping from Beethoven to Big Black, from Morton Feldman to Curtis Mayfield, identifying continuities while delighting in contrasts." ―Alex Ross, The New Yorker

After reading "Every Song Ever" by Ben Raitliff, I can understand why the book is greatly appreciated for its insightful comments and new view on music appreciation. I do think that it is a great way to grab the general public into reading more but I couldn't get past how boring the language is in the book. It definitely felt like I was reading a textbook, which for this class it was, but it was definitely a slog overall. The guy definitely knows what hes talking about, but he has trouble conveying his thoughts in a readable manner. Everything seems too drawn out with way too much flowery diction. Overall I think the content was good, the playlist was great, but he could have tried to make it a little more accessible.

One was the fact that this change that we’ve been through, where we have infinite access to what seems like everything, really has changed the way we listen, and possibly the way we think about music, and certainly the way we value it.
