11.14.10 | Interesting idea, but it might lead to a lack of variety, and a dominance of US slang. |

11.14.10 | no we definitely don't need a guide to annoying music jargon |
bungy
11.14.10 | yeah then stupid people will be throwing the same terms into their reviews |

Knott-
11.14.10 | let's also scrap the idea of reviews and just transcribe albums into sheet music |
Knott-
11.14.10 | i really don't understand this idea at all i think it's one of the stupidest things i've heard in a long time |

11.14.10 | what words have you read in a review that you don't understand?... is that what you're trying to say? |
porch
11.14.10 | just post a link to an online dictionary and people can look up the words they need and arrange them and stuff until they have a review |

11.14.10 | Personally, I don't think big words really give that much to a review. I write in big words because it's just my style. I can see where you're coming from in terms of looking for adjectives to describe music, but the best and probably most intuitive way to build that vocabulary is by reading asstons of reviews.
Just my two cents :/ |
Knott-
11.14.10 | I have no idea what words you're talking about, and how it would be easier than just using a dictionary if you want to look more studious/less individual. Just enhance your vocabulary. This makes literally no sense to me. |

11.14.10 | Busy right now but later tonight I will put together an Official Sputnik Glossary that will forever be known as the single greatest contribution to Sputnikmusic since that one time |

CelestialDust
11.14.10 | I think you need a strong english background to write good reviews... reviewers on this site use more than just "musical terminology" to get their point across.
"i really don't understand this idea at all i think it's one of the stupidest things i've heard in a long time"
knott- you can be so respectful sometimes |

11.14.10 | what a normal, necessary, easy idea |
Nagrarok
11.14.10 | My technical knowledge of music is severely limited and yet I have no trouble writing. Use of proper grammar, structure, etc. is far more important than anything else. |
alachlahol
11.14.10 | examples of words you need in every musical review:
soaring vocals
juxtapose (for the elite only)
catharsis (for the elite only)
frantic
frenetic
chaotic
melodic
epic
pretentious
crushing
croon (for the elite only)
bombastic
unbridled
amazing
essential

11.14.10 | I kinda see where you're coming from. I don't play any instruments and I struggle distinguishing the different types of techniques that musicians employ in their music (it took me awhile to realise what tremolo picking was, for example).
But really, that type of terminology isnt really needed in a review tbh... |

11.14.10 | Okay, when I do a review of a dubstep album and I use the term "wobble" I'm actually referring to bloc and when he walks
Hope that helps |
bloc
11.14.10 | But you like my walk... |
climactic
11.14.10 | don't make them too technical it makes the noobs confuzzled. i could say "the juxtaposition of the polyrhythms and the melodic legato soloing in 15/8 makes the song's second bridge in D# harmonic minor much more technically proficient" but most people wouldnt know wtf i was talking about |
bloc
11.14.10 | Even clim doesn't know what he's talking about ;) |

11.14.10 | Bloc just waits for me to comment |
