"Buy the Quietus Book" - Sasha Frere-Jones, pop-music critic for The New Yorker.

"Good to see the Quietus doing an anthology. Hope it's the first of many" - Mark Fisher (K-Punk), author of Capitalist Realism: Is There No Alternative?

Since its launch five years ago, the Quietus.com has evolved into one of the leading online destinations for music journalism. To celebrate the award-winning site's half decade, Point Close All Quotes: A Quietus Music Anthology compiles five years of the best music journalism from the Quietus alongside exclusive new pieces by Charlatans singer Tim Burgess and the Quietus editors, with illustrations by comic artist Krent Able (the Stool Pigeon, Vice).

Interviews with Mark E Smith, Dolly Parton and Vic Chesnutt sit alongside features like an open letter from Arab Strap’s Aidan Moffat to Nicola Roberts on the end of Girls Aloud, a metal-loving Church of England vicar explaining why Jesus would have been a Pussy Riot fan and a look at pop marketing and Rihanna that was one of the most-read articles on the Quietus in 2012.
