"unlock"
song lyrics or snippets or album covers are not antique secrets held in rustic lockboxes, nor are they Xbox achievements, they're promotional material a label posts, probably regardless of how much their fans do or don't tweet/Like/call. pretty minor, I know, but it's one of the more common examples of PR-speak seeping into journalistic copy and if I'm editing I kill it on sight.

katherine otm some words are just annoying but "unlock" is sinister
my dad invariably describes any movie or actor or scene he likes as "watchable" and it makes my eyes bleed

otm re: "and that's a good thing," ugh. The implied "but," as well as the implied tying of a bow around the goodness of the thing, both just seem so patronizingly "reasonable," and close off objection.
