urban dictionary gets it

A) "Pretentious" can be a useful phrase to describe something that is fake or pretend, or somebody who is pretending in order to conform. Sometimes it is still used that way.

B) Its meaning has also become completely the opposite. In the English-speaking world, "pretentious" has become a catch-all phrase to criticize anything or anyone that is vaguely heartfelt, intellectual, earnest, sincere, artistic, unconventional, nonconformist, non-commercial, or not on TV, on Youtube or in the supermarket.

i mean if you want me to i could say "many elements of this album feel very unnecessary and out of place and kind of showy to be frank" instead of just using the actual word that means that if it will get all you turbonerds to calm down

i never would have guessed

"your" just isn't a chariot song.... there is nothing about it that is them... its just unnecessary

really

cause the lyrics from that song are from one of their previous albums

Album Rating: 4.0

it's a sweet build up to the next song, don't be such a turd tickler

i quite like being a turd tickler

and that is cool that its the lyrics from "they faced each other", makes more sense.. but I still think it doesn't belong ... maybe if it faded out halfway through into a more "chariot" styled song... but i digress

I'm pissed I can't catch one of their farewell shows, too far from Pittsburgh

your is a nice song...I think it just has no business being on here... jeez... It would have been better as a b-side
