Yep..
But the uncertainty and subjectivity doesnt stop there, for many others remain in ordinary use, some being offered up as editorial staples .
Such as
TUNEFUL
ORGANIC
SWEET
DRY
RICH
SPACIALITY
DYNAMIC
SLAM
WET
INNER GLOW
COOL
PRAT = PACE, RHYTHM AND TIMING ... isn't that what the performers are supposed to have going for them already? How is sound reproduced without these elements
. Unless you have your thumb on the LP as it spins.
Use only the denotative definition, even in context, and many descriptions become laughable rather than laudable
and the connotative usage, still in context, remains ambiguous pointing towards yet more vagary.
The truly funny thing, is the use of these and so many other terms are so widespread and accepted without much afterthought. As if we all have the same degree of Sweet attached to that word or to any of the others.
In lieu of this, the attempts to reveal the essence of what has been divined continues to be entertaining, yet provides only a general sense of a thing and not its thumbprint. Consequently the most important epithet around these parts will eternally be:
Experience.
.or the Try it for yourself, suggestion which is the declarative test dispelling further speculation, with logistics and finances, being for so many, the true bars to this insightful event.
Perhaps, following the next glowing redress of some vaunted high end appliance, the editorialist will then define that description by degrees. lol
