Alliterate Much?
No doubt a two-minute search through Pulse archives will prove me a despicable hypocrite, but I'll say it anyhow: Alliterative prose is not clever. It is not brilliant. It does not make your writing sing. Mostly, it just makes you look kind of insipid. Consider:
Adams' country-fueled freedom from the constraints of constructed authenticity permits him to plumb his darkest depths yet, and some of his most affecting.
It was a perfectly competent review up to this harrowing, irreparable moment. Then all to hell. This is where alliteration takes us, people.
Maybe now that Tyler is interning at Pitchfork, he can put a stop to this. Someone must.
