Ok this is where you give a list of any albums out at any time, that have either been overrated, or underrated, and your reasons. Heres my list!
Overrated
Nirvana - Nevermind
I think that it was a lucky time period to bring out the album, as tehre was nothing for the kids, but come on, too many think this album is the greatest ever, obviously helped by kurts death, proppelling him to martyrdom for some.
The Darkness - Permission to Land
If i wanted to hear this i would listen to thin lizzy, and his voice gets on my nerves.
Green Day - American Idiot
I was so dissapointed with this album, its really watered down compared to their older stuff, and its on all the time!!
Underrated
Skid Row - Subhuman Race
people hated it because it wasnt the same as their original 80s style metal, but still an amazing album, just much more aggressive
W.A.S.P (self titled)
Not many realise these were the originals!! Motley Crue etc completely ripped them off on their image, antics and music, and WASP get no credit, even though this album was amazing, and the fact that 20 odd years later Blackies voice is still as strong as ever, compared to Vince Neil etc.
Metallica - Load
This album was a great album, but the reason it was shunned by the fans was due to the fact it was a completely different from their thrash metal stylings of the 80s and the early 90s Black Album. Dont hold the fact that it usually looked down upon as a bad thing, this is a dam good record, jsut not classic metal.
