Choosing Death

So I've recently started wading my way through the ultra comprehensive book Choosing Death: The Improbable History of Death Metal and Grindcore. It's very good so far but not 100%.
The writer (Albert Mudrian) stick to this kind of bullshit writing scheme the whole way through. Although the bands he's talking about and what he has to say about them is all brutal and awesome to read about the way he puts it is pretty boring at times. He just kinda trudges from band to band.
Here's the formula: band meets (usually when they're like 12), band hears some death or grind band and decides to rip them off, band practices in family's basement to shock their family, band loses and gains members (because they're all egotistical jerks to each other), band makes a tape, band breaks up.
See, it's even boring to talk about.
Don't get me wrong though, I'm really liking the book, motherfucking Albert needs to learn how to write though.
