It suggest that even allowing for inflation, the CD era was an unprecedented boom, and that even now we aren't really in a crash but a reversion to something more like the norm.

I'm in the middle of reading it now. Pretty interesting book. Goes through the whole history of the music industry and the people who made it big and where they screwed up. The premise isn't new, but it tells you a lot about the people involved and how they let their greed get the better of them.
