06.17.15 | One of my friends, who's really into prog music, let me borrow his Cd collection. And the first thing that popped into my head was that these bands are too pretentious. Seriously? 20 minute songs of just guitar raping. Screw them. |

Ryus

PlatonicMushroom
06.18.15 | Pretty sure one dictionary definition of "pretentious" is "an unwarranted claim to importance"
Opeth don't do no unwarranted claims |
romulanrancor
06.18.15 | There are some classics on this list though |

Lord(e)Po)))ts
06.18.15 | pretentious list makers: leatherrebel
|
Ninjask
06.18.15 | agreed. how incredibly pretentious of you to think these bands are pretentious! |
leatherrebel
06.18.15 | I'm just the kind of person who thinks metal shouldn't be all flowery. If you know what I mean. |
Ninjask
06.18.15 | so you're a metal elitist? that's pretentious af tbh |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
06.18.15 | lol |
leatherrebel
06.18.15 | How pretentious of you to label me a metal elitist. Now that's pretentious as fuck to be honest. |
Ninjask
06.18.15 | ^try harder pls |
Relinquished
06.18.15 | the pretentious name-calling cycle ladies and gentlemen |
leatherrebel

Royl123
06.18.15 | I think he's just being sarcastic. He needs to have his fun once in a while. |
Ignimbrite
06.18.15 | wow leatherebel you are such a rebel |
YetAnotherBrick
06.18.15 | i think if we say the word "pretentious" one more time it will have completely lost its meaning. also, a lot of the bands here are some of the best metal bands ever. interesting |
Space Jester
06.18.15 | You should add The Ocean |
Royl123
06.18.15 | So, what does "pretentious" mean? |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
06.18.15 | lol not a single one of these bands are even close to being any of the best metal bands ever |
Space Jester
06.18.15 | Pretentious - "attempting to impress by affecting greater importance, talent, culture, etc., than is actually possessed"
|
CK
06.18.15 | Well Steve Wilson is one of the most pretentious human beings ever so yeah |
Royl123
06.18.15 | Thanx jester but I was just kidding. That was for brick... |
deathschool
06.18.15 | Imma dick your dick tbh |
CK
06.18.15 | Get dickin |
leatherrebel
06.18.15 | Satan bless you deathschool |
BMDrummer
06.18.15 | 6 wtf |
Balerion
06.18.15 | Apparently pretentious means forward-thinking, progressive, and ambitious. Your so edgy for speaking out against critically acclaimed metal bands. MODs plz feature this shit now. |
CK
06.18.15 | 6 is mostly wtf because they aren't metal |
CK
06.18.15 | Also 4 is probably one of the most pretentious albums released ever ever ever |
Sevengill
06.18.15 | "you should add The Ocean"
yeah they got pretty bloated on Helio/Anthro but Precambrian and Pelagial rule |
evilford
06.18.15 | Opeth and death rule fuck you |
YetAnotherBrick
06.18.15 | "lol not a single one of these bands are even close to being any of the best metal bands ever"
uhhhhhhhhhhh Death bro? |
evilford
06.18.15 | Yeah death is prob 2nd best metal band ever behind neurosis |
CK
06.18.15 | no |
evilford
06.18.15 | Yeah sorry |
CK
06.18.15 | I just can't picture any scenario where Neurosis outshines Death |
Relinquished
06.18.15 | I can and they did |
CK
06.18.15 | Oh, well now I can, thanks brah |
evilford
06.18.15 | It's all a bit clearer now |
evilford
06.18.15 | Any band that releases an album such as through silver in blood is simply not to be outshined |
leatherrebel
06.18.15 | Alright, I know 6 isn't exactly metal but I just added them because they're pretty responsible for the whole pretentious progmetal shit. |
CK
06.18.15 | @leatherrebel, maybe, but Tool and Dream Theater milked that shit
@evilford, you talk as though Death hasn't released Human, Symbolic, or ITP.
Bitch. |
Space Jester
06.18.15 | "yeah they got pretty bloated on Helio/Anthro but Precambrian and Pelagial rule"
Agreed but I think Aeolian is their best followed by Fluxion |
evilford
06.18.15 | @ck DOESN'T MATTER WHEN NEUROSIS RELEASED THROUGH SILVER IN FUCKING BLOOD there's not a DISCOG in existence that can compete w/ TSIB that's the facts jack |
Relinquished
06.18.15 | CK you're a bit out wack especially with that weak ass "bitch" jab
TSIB > death |
ElegantElephant
06.18.15 | *sniff*
hmm
smells like bait |
evilford
06.18.15 | Agreed and that's coming from a guy that loves death/chuck unconditionally |
Sevengill
06.18.15 | @Jesterhead - Fluxion is my favorite but that and Aeolian weren't explicitly concept albums like the rest. Isla Del Sol is probably my favorite song of theirs overall. |
evilford
06.18.15 | Agreed and that's coming from a guy that loves death/chuck unconditionally |
evilford
06.18.15 | Agreed and that's coming from a guy that loves death/chuck unconditionally |
ElegantElephant
06.18.15 | have literally never met anyone who likes aeolian the best |
Relinquished
06.18.15 | aeolian is their best |
ElegantElephant
06.18.15 | there it is |
Gestapo
06.18.15 | all shit except death m/ |
evilford
06.18.15 | Also agreed I've thought that for years |
Sevengill
06.18.15 | Aeolian is solid but I like my atmosphere, which Fluxion is heavier on. |
ElegantElephant
06.18.15 | dead serious and highly professional is the greatest piece of noise on this earth
but ya precambrian for me [999999] |
Sevengill
06.18.15 | City In the Sea was massive when I saw them at MetalFest. |
Royl123
06.18.15 | Tbh, TSIB doesn't have the legacy as death does. Death to all m/ |
ElegantElephant
06.18.15 | death has one of the best metal discogs but TSIB is better than symbolic |
Gestapo
06.18.15 | nah |
CK
06.18.15 | "CK you're a bit out wack especially with that weak ass "bitch" jab"
Please tell me you weren't honestly taking that seriously |
deadcrown
06.18.15 | lol
Thrash metal 37%
Black Metal 25%
Heavy Metal 25%
Folk 12% |
deadcrown
06.18.15 | leatherrebel has like 5 albums rated yet he makes a big deal out of bands he doesn't like |
deadcrown
06.18.15 | lol yep we both make dumb lists. we should hang out sometime |
Flugmorph
06.18.15 | Yeah fuck 3 and 11 |
JWT155
06.18.15 | Pretentious isn't necessarily a bad thing. Francis Coppola said it's hard to make anything daring/thought provoking without sine pretension. |
ZilbelPing
06.18.15 | people still argue about pretentiousness on here? christ |
JWT155
06.18.15 | A bit pretentious |
Sevengill
06.18.15 | pretend shizz |
DrGonzo1937
06.18.15 | 4? GTFO |
Flugmorph
06.18.15 | Isla del sol is amazing, agreed |
FearThyEvil
06.18.15 | I love how pretentious is now solemnly used just to name a band the person doesn't like or doesn't understand. Naming a band as pretentious actually comes off as fucking pretentious. It's unbelievable how often this word is used these days to describe something that isn't what the word means. |
AcidCaravan
06.18.15 | Great shit-list. Except for n@4, I dug that record back in early 2000s. Oh and I dug early Metallica (first two records especially) back when I was a kid. |
ChoccyPhilly
06.18.15 | lol PT metal.
This list is like me 6 years ago when I thought blackest eyes was edgy as fuck |
Space Jester
06.18.15 | Aeolian is ny favorite because it has a lot in common with my favorite metalcore bands like Knut and Seizures. |
frigyourgenre
06.18.15 | most black metal |
EnyaFangirl
06.18.15 | YAWN |
TheBarber
06.18.15 | conclusion of this list: pretention is m/ af |
Relinquished
06.18.15 | "Please tell me you weren't honestly taking that seriously"
nah of course not, that came off like a tiny whimper on your part lol |
Relinquished
06.18.15 | "TSIB doesn't have the legacy as death does"
legacy doesn't matter in music, that's superficial shit |
Grand
06.18.15 | How dare you good sir! The studio album 'The Sound Of Perseverance' by the metal band Death is an excellent record. I request that this list be taken down from the site www.sputnikmusic.com at once. Ooh moderators! *snaps fingers.* |
CK
06.18.15 | I feel like if you replace Porcupine Tree with Steven Wilson it would make 100000 times more sense |
AmericanFlagAsh
06.18.15 | Radiohead |
LepreCon
06.18.15 | Sputnikmusic, you keep using that word 'pretentious'
I don't think it means what you think it means. |
LepreCon
06.18.15 | In fact same goes for 'metal' |
AmericanFlagAsh
06.18.15 | The Shins are a pretentious metal band tbh |
trvvve
06.18.15 | 4, 5, 6 arent even metal |
Snowdog808
06.21.15 | Hopefully this is a troll list considering 11 has a bigger focus on a central storyline than the solos. |
eaglefan1998
06.21.15 | lol, I love pretty much every band on this list, and Images and words is probably my favourite metal album of all time |
Titan
06.21.15 | i agree with maybe 3 of these |
romulanrancor
06.21.15 | Maybe some of the fan base are pretentious but I dont know if the actual bands are pretentious |
Jasdevi087
06.22.15 | no, from interviews I've seen and read, I'm fairly certain 4, 5 and 10 are actually kinda pretentious. good thing their stuff is likeable |
