With me, it's too often 'extraordinary', poignant' or 'cathartic'

I voted for Romantic, Passionate and Definitive.  Someone else also voted for the first two.  Great minds think alike.

I checked Classicstoday.com to be sure you didn't miss any, and two recent reviews by David Hurwitz revealed that the following were omitted:  Rich, Colorful, Excellent, No-holds-barred, Thrilling, Generous, Sharp, Stunning, Spectacular, Superior (sometimes preceded by "Vastly"), Mediocre, Fine(st), Glittering, Explosive, Stupendous, Powerful, Warm and Drags (or Dragging).  And that was just from two of his shorter reviews.

I've taken a few modernist art, music and literature classes. The words that come up again and again and again are always fleeting, pastoral, abstract, and ephemeral. The instances of these words always seems to be when students don't know what the hell they are talking about or just like to talk aloud to hear themselves.

But the one word I always use to describe great music is "Righteous."

Glorious!

Multi-dimensional is most underused.

I hate the use of that phrase.  It means nothing to me, and I doubt that those who use it know what they are talking about.

I don't particularly like "evocative", as it's often thrown around without any substantiation and used as a way for a person to say "this is atmospheric" without having to bother explaining why they think that, or how it is possible... Example of OK usage: "Schumann's Scenes from Childhood is an evocative series of scenes depicting everyday life", example of weird usage: "Dvorak's evocative cello concerto is one of the greatest in the repertoire". The latter comes across as a desperate attempt to add another adjective...

Glorious!
