Actually I have a very deep suspicion and distrust of using words to describe music in the first place (though of course I do it all the time). I just don't get the point. All music reviews should be limited to: "Listen to this!" or "Don't listen to this!" This would certainly save a lot of trees and bandwidth; the bandwidth could be reserved for the music itself.

My feeling also, is that when you dis a disc you should give recommendations for recordings of the works that you do like.
