As for it being pretentious, perhaps it is. I enjoy it a lot regardless. But to the one making this criticism, I will remind you of one fact:
YOU LIKE BLACK METAL.

touché!! hahahaha. to my defence, i like pretentiousness that borders on the comedic and not on the self importance. i was never for spoken word-style music actually so that might have more to do than it being pretentious, everything that sounds like that seems pretentious, the arrogant egotistical pretentious, to me. hell, a year ago i didn't like folk and folk-based styles of music, now i like most of it alright, there are still some fringe limits, though...
i like earth covers earth alright, actually, that and black ships... are the only c93 i've heard so far but ece i really like.
it would have been better to say it's not my cup of tea.
