| When Pretentious Bands/Artists, Actually Deliver
WARNING! This list is totally subjective. | | 1 |  | Angels and Airwaves
The Dream Walker
I won't deny, I'm a Tom Delonge fanboy. But this doesn't go without saying that I know he's over the top. Especially when he said that Angels and Airwaves would change Rock forever. However, I liked his previous work, but never as much as what he did with Blink-182. The Dream Walker was probably the biggest surprise for me in 2014. I wouldn't say the album is perfect by any means, but boy does it show what Tom can do when he taps into his true potential and drops the space rock act. | | 2 |  | Giles Corey
Giles Corey
Listen to "Deconstruction", and then this. You'll wonder how he managed to make something so wonderful, then return and take a shit on himself. | | 3 |  | Guns N' Roses
Chinese Democracy
After Slash left, I was absolutely dreading what was in store now that Axl Rose was going to run amuck. Even though this might be debatable, I found this album to be highly enjoyable. Especially the track "Better". Still a gem. | | 4 |  | Smashing Pumpkins
Adore
Let's not consider the utter masterpieces that were released prior to this. instead, let's consider this as the precursor to the mountains of crap that Corgan released after "Adore". Another debatable album, but I found this to be the example of when "experimenting" goes right. I'm quite fond of this, but also find it depressing to know that it was the beginning​ stages of Corgan's evolution into pretentious territory. | | 5 |  | Puscifer
"V" Is For Vagina
Maynard.. he has a wide range of talent, that I've often seen him squander on thinking too big. But, give this album a listen if you haven't already.. The track, "Momma Sed", shows some of Maynard's true potential. | |

05.11.16 | Yea, it was like a heartbreaking farewell. | Asdfp277
05.11.16 | finally a correct usage of pretentious tbh | MrGarland
05.11.16 | How are people using it these days? | Asdfp277
05.11.16 | they just assume that "pretentious" already comes with the negative denotation that it's bad, when it's the delivery that determines that | ZippaThaRippa
05.11.16 | Garland was actually a pretty cool villain if I remember correctly. He created a time loop! | Artuma
05.11.16 | you prolly mean deathconsciousness, not deconstruction | MrGarland
05.11.16 | @LPFTW That was the point.. It was crafted by someone pretentious, and it happened to be a good album. I should have stated that I didn't think GnR was pretentious to begin with | hal1ax
05.11.16 | check grotesque | Idleness
05.11.16 | check grotesque [2] | MrGarland
05.11.16 | @Artuma It's actually "deconstructionist" so I forgot the "ist" haha | MrGarland

05.11.16 | oh you mean that shitty ass ep. cuz i thought you referred to the s/t with that 'taking a shit on himself' because that's where dan found the inspiration for that album | MrGarland
05.11.16 | @Artuma haha, I'm glad you can relate | 2InchDethWish
05.11.16 | 1 is a cancer, 3 is just average and dissapointing considering the amount of money and time invested, 4 is enjoyable | SitruK6
05.11.16 | check grotesque [777) | BlacKapes
05.11.16 | 5 is a really shitty album, only thing funny about it is how tool fans were trying to convince themselves it was a god send album bc tool and apc! | danielcardoso
05.11.16 | Agree on 3 and 4. | DoctorDoom
05.11.16 | 4 is awesome. | MrGarland
05.11.16 | @BlacKapes I don't like Tool, so it was a breath of fresh air to me. |
