Gut Bucket? I must not read enough. Then again I get most of my music news here or from friends so I don't see a lot of music journalism

"Hooks"? The hook is essential part of a pop song. Not sure how you talk pop, power pop, etc. without talking about "hooks".

(1) the only thing that justifies the time I lost reading that is this line:
What kind of fuck nutted douche babble is this?
(2) should one have a death wish, do a shot at every time Sam Hunt is mentioned
(3) I am grateful that I don't know those who commented on the article
