No problem bruh

To be honest Mort I didn’t even realize you were the catalyst of the pretentious talk here, I just caught the last several posts before mine and saw the word being thrown around and felt it necessary to intercede. All that is to say my comment was not (consciously) directed at you nor am I aggravated/offended that you find this album “pretentious”, but that also does not preclude how i feel about that word being used in about 99% of cases. but, of course, who tf am i? use it as you deem appropriate.

and everyone knows the National are my favorite indie darlings anyway.

No problemo

I really need to check out the national again it's been a long long time

no u dont

Ok I won't

“I guess that is what pretentiousness looks like to someone whose 5slist was handcrafted by p4k's basic bitch poptimist dept but”



Would much rather have this and enjoy things versus think I’m edgy for 2.5ing a well claimed album when you’re not

My point was that it’s pretty funny to call this pretentious when you have albums that can be called pretentious 5’d lmao but yeah it’s a stupid word to use

the lead singer literally cancelled a tour because of how hard he’s not pretending

or alternatively, he was pretending and now he's not

i am the great pretender
