I don't know why, it just bothers me.

"Tour-de-force"
And not at all limited to music reviews. I'm looking at you, movie trailer announcer guy.

For awhile, every single band in St Louis could be described using this word. Or so reviews of any st. louis band would lead us to believe. "*band name here* haunts us with their eerie angular and jaunty sounds!"
I also hate whenever people compare any off beat rap group to Outkast. Because obviously any rap group who wants to do something different must be copying off Outkast.

Self-conscious, self-aware and naked.
Reviewers, I really don't care what you think the music says about the self-esteem of the artist. I just want to know the answer to these questions:
1. Does it remind you of any particular band/genre? This is so I can get a sense of the aesthetics and timbre involved. Also, it helps me seperate reviewers from the good, the bad, and the too obsessed with Radiohead/Outkast/The Beatles/Whoever to be reliable.
2. Is it shitty? This is self-explanatory.
3. Is there too many god damned bluesy guitar solos? The answer to this question is vital if I am to preserve what little remains of my sanity.
