"seminal" is also incredibly irritating, as several already noted.
i might vote for the rather insidious proliferation of "profoundly." i mean, how 'profound' can something really be if nearly everything else is 'profound' right along with it?
on the other hand, i think 'folderol' ought to make a comeback. XD

I'm sick as hell of seeing people use "generic" as a synonym with "bad".
That being said, I'm probably the last person to whine about what people write in their reviews, considering I've written phrases like "superultramegaduperbunny technical death metal."But that won't stop me!
"Sophomore effort" has a tendency to make my kneecaps run rampant in my legs. "Kvlt" and "br00tal" are pretty annoying too.

The new CD from "Paint The Walls With Blood", which drops on May 9th, is a sonik pastiche which unlike most hip hop, signals a sea change in the ouvre. Through a savvy use of seminal influences PTWWB manages to avoid the sophomore effort cul de sac into which so many other bands have driven.
While there is a generic feeling of fun, it never veers towards the pretentious cinematic folderol that has been suggested in the hype. The 11 (eleven!) tracks range from bluegrassy death core to operatic electro sludge. Of course, the overall effect is profound and smacks of a retro 80's-cum-retro-60's bubblegum Zeitgeist.
Many have critized PTWWB, saying that they sound just like Eat My Own Hair, but in answer to the question: Is it fun? Natch! This bee-yatch is way fun. Should you buy it? Puh-leeze!

One thing though... call me an NME nostalgist, but I'm sorry you didn't use the phrase "sonic cathedral of sound" in their somewhere.
