Most Over-Used Sentence in Music Journalism
"Hailing from New York City, (enter band name here)'s infectious melodies and syncopated beats are in full effect on the band's latest, (enter album name here), one of the best records of the year."*
It is always "infectious melodies and syncopated beats" together. Always.
*Last found describing The Rapture's Pieces of People We Love, Paste Magazine's band of the week.

I have given up reading music reviews. Just give me a star rating, who they sound like, and say yeah or neh and I'll be happy. Like you I find people trying to describe music pretencious and silly. Especially pitchfork. Yuk. Paste is tollerable for the most part.
Maybe it's because most bands that those magazines review sound the same?
Just a thought.
