In his 1981 book Rock Albums of the Seventies , he praised Williamson 's guitar playing while writing that the side-opening tracks `` Search and Destroy '' and the title song `` voice the Iggy Pop ethos more insanely ( and aggressively ) than 'I Wan na Be Your Dog ' '' , but felt that `` the rest disperses in their wake '' and that Bowie had mixed the record too thinly .
Christgau 's book published in 1981 was titled Rock Albums of the Seventies .
