I mean it's not useful to say band X is objectively better than band Y due to effective note usage since anyone who doesn't care about those notes won't be convinced by "objective correctness" and anyone else will already agree that band X is better.

And yeah I'm sure shared culture is a big factor but that doesn't change effectiveness (a term I'm already starting to hate).
