Literally bumped up my rating from 6 to 10. Took its time to sink in but the tunes are so catchy and singable to that they don't get off your mind. Very fun and interesting album

if you say "most overrated" it means several of their albums are overrated, and this one is the most overrated one.

I disagree, this album deserves all the appreciation it gets, it's BS at its most diverse, they tried new things, made an interesting and entertaining album.
