Loud group, on reflection, needed gripping finale for concert (9)
I believe the answer is:
bombastic
'loud' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bombastic that I've seen before include "affected" , "Extravagant" , "Pompous -- inflated" , "High-flown" , "Pretentious" .)
