What's the point in inventing your own generalisations, only to complain about them? And what's with that opening sentence? "In these lands we traverse, we find certain regional musical similarities some would consider clichéd". Or to paraphrase, "I've made up some inaccurate stereotypes and I'm worried that people will see through them, so I'm going to criticise them before anyone else does. I'm still including this bit though, because I think it makes me sound a bit clever." It's a similar story in the second paragraph. What is it about a "meandering sonic onslaught" that would justify the band's new "moniker"? Do race horses meander? It would certainly add a new slant to the betting. Dire.
