If that's a writing style, then it should be abandoned. It makes sense going snarky in a short story, but in a song review? What's the point? I've seen other writings take on that voice, but not to give a positive review.....unless you're just being highly pretentious.

Idk, the way I read it is a slightly positive review with a few digs and not in literary jest. There's no reason to include the "but presumably also because it's the verb for human existence" unless you mean it as a dig. It really doesn't serve any other purpose.
