As I move further along into reviews of recordings, it increasingly interests me how we find adjectives and other terms to describe what we like and don't like. I thought it might be fun to come with some terms and then apply their relative opposites. If you like, please provide some of your own. Here's my list at the present time: Commanding - Overbearing Poetic - Syrupy Dramatic - Exaggerated Vibrant - Choppy Energetic - Nervous Strong - Loud Tender - Whimpy Soft - Weak Expansive - Not Focused Focused - One Dimensional Hypnotic - Sleepy Subtle - Recessed Innovative - Sloppy Passionate - Indulgent Inevitable - Restrictive Mainstream - Boring Comforting - Insufficiently Accented Smooth - Numbing Creative - Perverted Distinctive - Odd Dreamy - Lacking Foundation Blended - Indistinct Larger Than Life - Unrealistic Precise/Ordered - Limiting Pristine - Inexperienced Bouncy - Irregular Well Nuanced - Lacking Direction Propulsive - Out of Control Youthful - Immature Humorous - Silly or Not to be taken seriously Serious - Dour Bustling - Hyper Eclectic - Undecided/Confused Original - Wayward Spiritual - Sanctimonious Deep - Muddy Atonal - Lost Exquisite - Frigid Detailed - Lacking Scope Confident - Self Important Stimulating- Drug Induced Don Satz [log in to unmask]
