Firstly, the use of the phrase "blissed-out" shouldn't simply be disallowed. Secondly, the term "soundscape" is a contrived, pseudo intellectual cop out for when writers don't have anything too valid to comment upon. And if you read anything from Pitchfork or the generally buoyant Brainwashed, you might run into those terms when exploring the new disc from Chicago's CAVE.
Allow me to say that I really enjoy reading Paste. I, however, hate year end lists more than I hate wearing tight pants in general - but specifically after a huge meal.
