Overrated albums thread

>>72959976
*Overhated

Bet you think Never Had No One Ever and Vicar In A Tutu are bad tracks too, contrarian

As a person who genuinely believes Meat is Murder is their best album, this is b8.

>>72960017

Tried listening to it, but I just couldn't see the appeal. Every song just overstayed its welcome.

>>72959976
cannot agree
>>72960017
absolutely
>>72960046
I feel like Purple Rain is the overrated album as far as Prince goes
>>72960141
a bit
>>72960155
no

>>72959987
They aren't bad tracks, but they are the weakest tracks.

reminder that "overrated" is a meme buzzword that people who want to feel special for not liking something use

>>72959976
Every """""""obscure"""""""" album that /mu/ loves becomes overrate.

>>72959976
Every album is overrated you pleb

>>72959976
Smiths are one of my favorite bands and I agree 100%. Strangeways is a better album; Hatful and Louder Than Bombs are better than any studio album they made.
>>72960017
yep
>>72960046
good album but i agree, not prince's best
>>72960141
This one feels kind of dull at first, but give it a few more shakes. I don't blame anyone for not liking "Birdland" but most of the other tracks are top notch rock and roll. The album is a bit understated at the surface, but the songwriting really is fantastic.
>>72960155
Not at all, if anything it's (slightly) overlooked. This one was also a grower for me, and now it's one of my all time favorites.
>>72960243
I enjoy this album immensely and it has great sentimental value, but I agree, it's not quite a masterpiece. Controversial opinion: I've never cared for Only In Dreams.

1000x this album. Its not bad but it's not nearly the legendary art people hold it up to be. Every drum track sounds the same (except in bloom) and Kurt cobain isn't talented, he just screams a lot.

>>72960243
only mediocre track is Holiday so you're wrong

>>72960025
>>72960017
its only so hyped because its brand new. id say in two years it will be adequately rated

>>72960017
Yes.
>>72960243
It's a good album, and it's underrated at least compared to Pinkerton. But Weezer in general is overrated.
>>72962275
Yes.

>>72960155
No. This album is fucking god tier

This. It seems like everyone is just looking at the concept and immediately calling it another instant classic kdot album. How can people even let songs like LOVE slide?

>>72962419
I don't think this is bad, but since it overshadows Sung Tongs and it was initially considered a solid 10 by a lot makes it pretty overrated. I won't lie though, I can definitely get lost if I put this on.

>>72960243
I wouldn't say so. Maybe a little?

>>72960243
Nah this is more iconic than overrated

>>72959976
Best Smiths album so no.

>>72960017
Best Kendrick album so no.

>>72960155
Best Wire Album so no.

>>72960243
2nd best Weezer album so no.

>>72962275
Yeah kinda. Still their best album.

>>72962419
Maybe a little, but still their 2nd best album.

>>72962778
2nd best Beatles album so no.

Shit thread.

>>72962959
Finally, an album that's actually notably overrated. In fact, it's the most overrated album of all time.

>>72960017
Yah.

>>72960243
Nah.

>>72962275
Yes.

>>72962419
Yes.

>>72963194
Probably deserves the praise it gets, so no.

>>72962275
Nah. You literally do not understand the impact that it had on music

>>72964275
I never said anything about Its impact on music, I'm fully aware of the impact, but I judge my albums based on the music in them alone, which I think was a bit lacking. They may have made an impact but most of the bands they inspired did better than them

>>72964032
I just meant his excuse for """""singing""""" Is just a growl. Every other grunge singer has some real singing talent outside of rasp. Chris Cornell had a fantastic vocal range and could project louder than any other, even at his highest notes. Layne
Staley had a haunting voice that complimented the somber subject matter behind his music. Kurt can sing, but he's just not that good at it without copping out to the scratchy voice thing

>>72962929
Personally I liked In Utero much more, it was less bland and it had more personality

>>72963159
pleb detected

>>72964755
I really don't like anything nirvana did and would never actively seek-out listening to tracks but can appreciate their impact.

That being said, the closer to the center the more cancer you get from music directly influenced by them.

Ok, it's influential and all that, but as far as the music goes, this is a 7/10 on a happy mood. I'd say it's overrated.

>>72960141
most of its popularity comes from the cover
>>72960243
nah
>>72962275
totally agree
>>72962959
masterpiece, but a little overrated as well
>>72963159
i like Closer better
>>72964987
no anon, but WL/WH is better in my opinion

How can the best album of all time be overrated?

>>72964987
absolutely agree

>>72962275
Live in New York was better than any of their studio albums by a giant margin.

>>72964200
I've never seen this one praised all that much. Its a pretty good album, but nothing amazing.

>>72963194
No

>>72962959
I thought this was overrated too, but I listen to it and realize it deserves the praise it gets

>>72959976
>>72963159
these deserve every bit of praise they get

>>72960017
Ive only ever hear people shit on this album. Except for a few first week music reviews most people have given this album a 5-7 rating, which it deserves

This album has some good songs on it but most of them are forgettable. L.A. Woman is much better. Of course this is purely my personal opinion.

>>72962929
>best Kendrick album
even if true still overrated. His best album is a 3/10.

>>72960243
>>72962275

Good thread desu.

>>72964128
Every week some new angsty mid twenties fucker rediscovers his naive teenage contrarianism through this album and feels like he has to make a thread with nothing but "I'M WAVING MY DICK IN THE WIND" in the post.
Don't get me wrong, It's a great album, but it brings forth the worst in some people.

>>72965703
Tha'ts not Meteora.

>>72959976

Your favorite album.

>>72960017
THIS.

>>72960141
uhhh not overrated at all

who gives a fuck what's overrated and what's not?

>HEY GUYS THIS POPULAR THING YOU LIKE ISN'T ACTUALLY AS GOOD AS YOU THINK
>LIKE IT'S PRETTY GOOD BUT IT'S NOT THAT GOOD SO YOU SHOULD STOP SAYING IT'S THAT GOOD ACTUALLY

>>72965657
wl/wh way better and not bloated

>>72967271
I thought so aswell for a couple of years, then I relistened to In Utero again and it changed my mind

>>72959976
Fuck off this album is perfect

>>72962275

it is bad, actually

>>72964987
>>72968410
all overrated

>>72970193
I see what you did there.

>>72960017
I wouldn't say this is overrated. It's his weakest album I thought everyone agreed on that? Still beats half the shit others are putting out

>>72971694
I disagree, people talk about him as if he's number 1 currently when really it would be a push to consider him top 10

>>72971720
Sorry lemme rephrase, it beats half the shit that other "popular" hip hop artists are putting out. I'm referring to logic, future, lil <insert name here>, etc

>>72960017
this album is hot garbage

>>72971741
There is a lot of bad popular stuff and logic is of course the worst shit ever, but future is 100% top 10 currently
