The Chain Gang, written by Richard McCord, was an interesting synopsis featuring the undermining practices of the Gannett Empire.
As a newsroom employee of a once-proud independent newspaper that was bought by the Gannett chain in 1997, I was told by colleagues who had read "The Chain Gang" that the book was a cautionary tale which would reveal the dark side of the corporation that had become my new employer.
Having said that, my only real complaint with "The Chain Gang" is the melancholy, defeatist tone of much of McCord's epilogue, in which, despite the admirable personal triumphs he scored in battling Gannett, he ultimately depicts his efforts as gestures bordering on futility.

 Amazon.com: The Chain Gang of Love: Music: The Raveonettes   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
The title cut, for instance, sounds like a reworking of Sam Cooke's "Chain Gang" with Mickey and Sylvia's "Love is Strange." At various times on the album they remind me of a strange blend of the Primitives, Blondie, the Ramones, and My Bloody Valentine, all filtered through Phil Spector's Wall of Sound.
Still using their basic formula of pretty much 3 chorded songs, "Chain Gang of Love" has a happier sound than the debut E.P. "Whip it On," because now it's in the key of B-Major instead of B-Minor.
In "Chain Gang of Love," this translates to my liking four songs: "That Great Love Sound," "Let's Rave On," "Heartbreak Stroll" and "New York Was Great." Then rest, to me, is filler, not bad, but still filler.
