Yup. Also bands like Wolves in the Throne Room, Ash Borer, west coast bands are really overrated but that depends on who you ask. |

This is exactly what I think of when I think of 'overrated'. Bands that 'outsiders' (lulz, but ya know what I mean) suddenly thought as 'mind blowing', 'ground breaking', 'new', or some other such bullshit. The reality of it is that they don't know fuck all about metal, and they are 'overrating' these bands based on some misplaced since of musical-validation. God dammit I can never explain what I means when it comes to these type of bands and more importantly the pitchfork-magazine-reader-circle-jerk-shit that surrounds them. I believe that's a good thing though because it's feelings and emotions that are important when it comes to this stuff and it's hard to put that into words; you all know what the fuck I mean anyways. But yes, shit like Liturgy is the absolute definition of overrated. It's fucking shitty music for people that are searching for something in a genre they listen to ironically that they can listen to seriously without embarrassing themselves at their wine-and-cheese party. |
| ______________________________ [Oct 11,2012 9:14pm - wut ""] I love how you guys are namedropping bands like Wolves in the Throneroom and Dissection, bands most people have never even heard of as "overrated", but get butthurt over Venom and Slayer being called overrated. |
| ______________________________________ [Oct 11,2012 10:10pm - Randy_Marsh ""] Venom and Slayer are overrated in their own respects but have also accomplished and created quite a lot in the 80s so it kind of evens out. |

| _______________________________________________ [Oct 12,2012 12:07am - BobNOMAAMRooney nli ""] Haha Agalloch's last album got downloaded and never listened to until some library cleaning last week. Instant delete. |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 12,2012 7:05am - trioxin245 ""] lol @ venom and slayer being overrated. You guys need to get your ears checked. |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 12,2012 8:47am - arilliusbm ""] I agree with 80% of BSV's list |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 12,2012 9:08am - trioxin245 ""] I agree with pretty much all of it except Neurosis, because as far as Im concerned they cant be praised enough. |

All of those Spinefarm power thrash/black bands rip off Stratovarius in a bad way. and they're all full of cheese. Including Wintersun. All excellent guitar players, but where's the BEEF? |
| _______________________________ [Oct 12,2012 11:38am - wut ""] Norther are just the worst. So are CoB. On that note, as are Dark Tranquility despite the massive amounts of praise they receive on this forum. |

| _______________________________ [Oct 12,2012 11:53am - wut ""] I feel like everytime Dark Tranquility, or melodic death metal in general, is brought up there is a LOT of DT fellatio. Just something i've noticed. |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 12,2012 3:44pm - trioxin245 ""] I havent heard the name dark tranquility in at least ten years. |

Encoffination? 95% of the people on here have probably never even heard them. True. However when you release an album as badass as O Hell....and you perform your first show half way across the country, which in effect is such a weak ass set, that literally pales in comparison to the album; you're overrated. |
| ________________________________ [Oct 12,2012 6:22pm - KEVORD ""] I know. I agreed when we saw Encoffination they sounded really bad. I'm sure never practicing in the same room has a lot to do with it. But I still love their albums. |
| ______________________________ [Oct 12,2012 6:26pm - BSV ""] yeah it's nothing personal against any of those dudes, I totally dig everything I've heard. But here's the deal, I think any band that gets signed with multiple media formats without NEVER playing a show or EVEN PLAYING TOGETHER is overrated. |
| ________________________________ [Oct 12,2012 7:25pm - Spence ""] I'll be the first to say it. Metalocalypse is horribly unfunny and overrated as fuck. (and therefore Dethklok too, are overrated and unfunny as fuck) |

| ________________________________________________________________ [Oct 12,2012 9:07pm - a jealous girlfriend with blonde hair ""] Being bored at work, I decided to read the majority of the posts in this thread. So allow me to ask this: Are there any other people here who are fans of "opinionated facts"? I think it's pretty obvious what I mean, but on the off chance that it isn't, it's basically saying that what you feel towards something will be an opinion to others, while it is a fact, to you, personally. I'll use Opeth as the example since I noticed the mere mentioning of their name caused two things. 1) Bashing 2) Butthurting. Personally, I love Opeth. While I haven't been completely sold on their last few records, the first 6 (especially the first 5) are total masterpieces, and in my mind, that's a fact. Why do people get so upset if someone else starts vehemently insulting a band that they happen to enjoy? For one, you're not even in the band, and secondly, who cares what someone else has to say? No one ever will completely see eye to eye with you, and so because someone else happens to hate Opeth doesn't mean I'm going to stop listening to them. Uh oh, someone hates a band I like. GOOD. , The sun is still going to rise in the morning, there will still be football games on Sunday and pizza will remain an awesome food. If someone else happens to enjoy the bands you also appreciate, more power to the both of you. Strike up a conversation and have a blast relating to one another about the various reasons why you both like what a particular band does. If not? Fuck them. Like whatever it is that you like. Another persons opinion should not tarnish the way you feel or listen to certain types of music. Don't get so worked up, and try taking some satisfaction in knowing that you're listening to awesome music and you're grateful that your mind has an affinity for those sounds and aesthetics. |

| ________________________________ [Oct 12,2012 9:43pm - Spence ""] I must be the only Opeth fan in the world who LOVES their first four albums, loves the latest two, but thinks the 5th-8th albums are mih. But yeah, anyone who takes their opinion as a fact(whether it a positive opinion or negative opinion) is pretty silly. |
| ________________________________ [Oct 12,2012 9:46pm - KEVORD ""] This is an opinion thread you buttdarts. If it was a fact thread there would be no room for discussion. |
| ________________________________ [Oct 12,2012 9:48pm - Spence ""] Facts are boring. Only highly subjective material worthy of enragement is real. |

But yeah, anyone who takes their opinion as a fact(whether it a positive opinion or negative opinion) is pretty silly. Disagree. I see the point being made there and frankly, it makes sense. My eyes are hazel, fact. I too think Opeth is a great band, fact. That's not the same thing as saying something like "Well, I don't like the U.S. government so 9/11 never happened. If you think it happened, yours is an opinion, and if I say it didn't, it's a fact." Well, we all know 9/11 indeed happened, so whether or not you wanted to say it didn't, because you oppose the government, doesn't change the fact that photos, videos, and lives lost prove otherwise. I'd say thinking of your tastes and preferences as personal facts, rather than opinions, which is what they are to other people, is a lot less "sillier" than crying, bitching or mudslinging. |

Had some good stuff over the years but overall SOOOO overrated. Phobia is pretty much a psuedo-crust brocore band. I used to love these guys but in the last couple years have been utterly unable to figure out why. Especially now that their original guitarist is no longer in the band, I'm kind of embarrassed to be playing with them on Wednesday. |
