Be My Head:
What are some of your favourite (or not so favourite) review cliches?

I was thinking the phrase "eastern tinged" is overused far too much in reviews and has lost all meaning.

I even did a google search " Results 1 - 10 of about 17,900 for "eastern tinged"

Most of which were reviews for albums that probably aren't really influenced by any eastern music at all. I mean, since when did Alanis Morisette have any idea of what eastern music is?

Now post yours! Go!

Ballard:
pretentious

michaelicious:
Kafka-esque?

Here are some of mine:
off-kilter
frenetic
angular
talking heads

Dazed:
Post-(genre or subgenre)

POST-INDUSTRIALBLACKMETALEMOCORE

michaelicious:
I thought of another one! It's not really a buzzword but it is probably my favourite phrase ever devised to describe music. I can't remember where I read it but someone was talking about Pretty Girls Make Graves and they said "guitar knife fights". If I could only use three words to describe the kind of music I enjoy most "guitar knife fights" would probably be it.
