The constant name-dropping of other artists is really tiresome.

Really? I understand why they do it though and it's more for the casual fan. For example, a casual fan may read that it was produced by Dave Stewart and think the albums sounds like "Here Comes the Rain Again" so I think it's also to distinguish the sound.
