creative rock critic will want to pepper his or her reviews with words and phrases that demonstrate thorough knowledge of the rock world. Let the reader know, for example, if the subject of your review has "paid a lot of dues." Let the reader know if the music in question has "classical roots." (It is not necessary to name the source of the roots.) Mentioning the make of the guitar, as in "Fender Stratocaster" or "Chet Atkins Gretsch," lends resonance to any review. Refer at least once to the rock group as an "aggregate."
