spent much more time processing the last two album than I have.

Charging someone else with being 'pretentious at best and disingenuous at worse' is often the kind of phrase that boomerangs back to its source.

So please don't start telling on yourself while trying to tell me something.

I have no reason to pretend to not like this record, nor did I say I disliked the last one.

So then all we're left with is you being mad that I decided to write a long-form post/essay about it, when the reality is if you wanted to express your boredom about what I wrote the best way to do so would be to not read or reply.

'Pretentious' is usually a default mechanism for 'boring' posters and most of them likely couldn't articulate what they're actually referring to nor what it means.
