That's like 90% of the reviews of J-pop I find online. They're always based on extremely subjective experiences. Why not show us an actual grasp of musical knowledge?
I fail to see where his "musical knowledge" comes into play. Is it because he talks about the build of music in Free & Easy? Is it because he knows what different instruments are? This review is pretty subjective, and says nothing profound about the musical arrangement or anything even related to music theory. It's just a short, uninspired review.
