As if some of these readers will respect his writing more and want to be "just like that guy" due to his grasp of grammar (assuming of course that this guy is really serious when he uses words harder to pronounce than his own name). It really just seems like a cry for attention. And of course he's reaping the benefits of the "controversy factor." He's pretty much just the scum of the earth, and really doesn't seem to know how to present himself other than by using confusion as a method of seeming austintatious.

Anyway, that makes three of us. So far. Unless this was posted by the drummer for Killswitch Engage. If that's the case, you and I should figure out some naming scheme so that things don't get confusing.

Hell, I've never seen "pablum" either. It's not so much his choice of words, it's the frequency with which he uses them. Every word, sentence, and paragraph is bloated to all hell, when there's no reason it needs to be. I was wondering if he did it on purpose to make a point about the music he was reviewing, but no: I checked his other articles and they all suffer from the same problem. This one is the most grievous offender, but the others are still pretty bad.
