Most Overrated

Reign in Blood and Hell Awaits = some of the most influential albums of all time. Overrated? No. Modern day Slayer is, though. If that's the reasoning around here, I'll say every band after their first three albums is overrated.

I think this question should include a band's influence on metal as a whole. Sure, if you don't like Venom or Slayer, they're overrated to YOU. But beyond the sense of self opinion, there are bigger things at work. Influential bands are NEVER overrated on the large scheme of things. They established a mark on the genre and influenced countless bands during their time.

See I don't think this is the case because I don't know anyone - anyone - who actually believes the new Slayer albums are 1. great or 2. influential. Sure, some people think they're fine albums, but I think the Slayer's listeners at large keep the new stuff in peerspective.

yeah i didn't mean Slayer is overrated, even though this is an "overrated" thread. i'm just not rabid about their material as many people are.

the funny thing about Venom is that they coined the term "black metal" to describe their own music. so really anyone who calls their music "black metal" and isn't Venom is wrong.

no love for Blood on Ice or Nordland I? FOR SHAME

Meh, I take that back. I do like Blood on Ice. Nordland I is okay. I've always preferred older Bathory to that era, quite honestly, although I do love both.

I would say the first three Deicide albums are actually underrated because their later albums and Glenn's nonsense image hurt the overall rep of the band.

Oh, most importantly


ANY OF THOSE "FOLK METAL" BANDS THAT ALL THE KIDDOS DIG THESE DAYS. GTFO

This is accurate. IMO they started their downhill spiral with that Serpents of the Light album with that stupid fucking guitar tone.

S/t and Legion are great, but I find 80% of their catalogue garbage. Never been a Glenn fan.

No love for Once Upon the Cross? I think it's the best one.

I agree Once upon the cross is awsome. It's one of a hand full of albums I own on every formay cause I love it so much.

I def like once... better than legion, but s/t takes the cake. I wouldnt say that any of those three are overrated though.

[Oct 11,2012 11:30am - arilliusbm ""]
I haven't heard that in so long. I spin Legion every now and then. I should probably dig up OUtC. I used to listen to a lot more death metal than I do now, probably won't hurt to go back. I recently threw on CC's Butchered at Birth and felt younger again. Surprised no one has said Cannibal Corpse in this thread.. They seem to be one of those bands people would say is overrated.

I think some CC is overrated but the first 4 are great especially the bleeding. Everything after is garbage IMO.

My contribution to the thread off the top of my head would be Xasthur. Id say the best release he had was Suicide in Dark Serenity. Xasthur arent terrible but def overrated, as is Leviathan. Every time I hear leviathan Im psyched on it for 5 minutes, then I get bored and put something else one, but everyone else sees to think they are this amaaaazing band. More like aMEHzing amirite?

oone of the most overrated metal bands of all time = testament. And i agree with OP about overkill..

Reinkaos was the biggest disappointment EVER when it came out. I liked maybe 2 tracks on it, but it's BY FAR inferior to Storm and Somberlain.

Yeah, I've yet to make it through any Testament song without being bored to fucking tears -- I just don't get that band at all.

Though often painfully cheesy, I do kinda like Overkill.

well Im talking overrated not flat out bad. Overkill have their moments for me definitely but generally speaking I dont see the big deal. Hallows Eve is way beter.

Reinkaos was pretty bad, not overrated. Did I miss a ton of people showering it with praise? Understand the topic plz

I honestly havent heard many people praise reinkaos. I mostly hear either flat out hate or people just saying it was OK.
 _____________________________________
[Oct 11,2012 12:08pm - arilliusbm ""]
There was a lot of praise when it came out. I remember people talking about loving it. Then there's the ones who say that it grew on them. Also, dig up the old threads.

eh to me when I hear the term overrated I think of bands like Testament who are heralded as being this legendary band. Reinkaos may have got some undeserved love from a few people when it came out, but I think youd be hard pressed to find anyone who calls it a classic.

[Oct 11,2012 12:18pm - Mark_R ""]
yeah, the word 'legendary' ought to have some more meaning behind it than 'band who were popular at some point in the past'

The Legacy is a pretty sweet album front to back, but yeah the rest is meh

anyway, to avoid nitpicking over definitions anymore, I will add Phobia. Had some good stuff over the years but overall SOOOO overrated.

[Oct 11,2012 12:25pm - trioxin245 ""]
another one for me is Sleep. Volume 4 is good and catchy at first but gets old fast. I used to love vol 4 and jerusalem/dopesmoker but now I think theres MUCH better bands in that particular area of music. Also, down = wiiiiiiicked overrated

But they're not in the least bit overrated. If anything they get shit on constantly.

Hardcore Radikult aside I don't think I've heard much bad about them.
