That's also how I feel about Pink Floyd.

-two gorgeous melodies (breathe, brain damage) one of which gets recycled
-a moving lyric here and there
-a badass vocal solo
-another pretty solid song (money)
and it's pretentious. ffs don't name your songs 'time' and 'money'

don't know their music but by these titles that sounds about right.
But it depends on waht the songs are like. I mean, the other song called money (the one by the beatles/flying lizards/thee headcoatees/loads of other bands) is not pretentious because it's not about the concept of money in a serious way

I'd say they were being pretentious in a way that makes me want to pat them on the head and give them a lollipop.

The UK version didn’t have See Emily Play and the US version didn’t have Bike. Both are can’t miss tracks - it kind of ****s up the debut

I'd say it's one of those albums that can only be overrated simply because of the disproportionate rate of dicksuck it receives.

That said, Saucerful of Secrets and Meddle both blow the debut out of the water.

I've never thought of those one-word song titles being pretentious, and more just stupid and showing a lack of creativity. Pretentious are those obnoxiously long black metal or Nile song titles (I love Nile, but some of their song titles are too long):

These are pretentious song titles:
Natural Liberation Of Fear Through The Ritual Deception Of Death
Chapter Of Obeisance Before Giving Breath To The Inert One In The Presence Of The Cresent Shaped Horns
Dusk Falls Upon The Temple Of The Serpent On The Mount Of Sunrise (This is a 50-second intro)
