Dutch term or phrase: de rauwe hoekigheid... werd weggemoffeld

Here is the context: "waarbij vooral de rauwe hoekigheid van de laatste compositie in een al te swingende pastiche werd weggemoffeld."

It is about a song: is it saying "where the raw 'hook' quality was squandered(?) in a too-swinging pastiche?"

The main thing I am trying to express is what happened to the "hoekigheid" in this song.

Thanks!
