Reviews / Votes
"Hall's book is engaging, stimulating and generative. . Hall provides readers with enough critical-musicking instruments to equip themselves as destructive musicians-or better, 'destructive musickers'-in their own right. . Musical Revolutions is a compelling and well-crafted provocation for future scholars to 'Bring the Noise.'" (Martin Law, Marx and Philosophy, marxandphilosophy.org.uk, April, 2016)
