Top 200 Overrated Albums
Top 200 Overrated Albums
**Trigger warning**
Albums and EPs rated 8.6+ from 100+ votes which I've given an 8 or lower to.
I've listened to and rated every album on MS that meets this criteria (at time of most recent update) - some of them multiple times - so I feel I can give my honest opinion.
The purpose of this is to list and order the albums that I simply don't "get" and to try re-listening to them in the hope of understanding why they've received so many 9 and 10 votes.
Ordered by my rating then MS rating then number of votes.

I discovered your list now. Folks have already shown disapproval of many important contenders that I felt do not qualify for your list, say Gojira - From Mars To Sirius. Still, I appreciated your efforts to conceptualize a list where I felt you ought to have invested more time into it.

Removed Kamelot - The Black Halo. I listened to it again today and gained a new-found appreciation for it. I'll be adding it to my top 500 albums list soon. Written by Hooman on 24.03.2024 at 14:12 Forever Autumn is starting to grow on me so it may well turn into a 9 at some point. A Sombre Dance I haven't heard in a while so I'll give it a relisten soon!

How is Marillion - Script For A Jester's Tear overrated?! The album proved prog was not dead, revived it for a while (along with bands like IQ, Twelfth Night, Pallas and Pendragon, their style stretched all over Europe and even the US, check pout the band Iluvatar).  Threshold - Subsurface - this one hurts  Antimatter - Leaving Eden - I find this one underrated as is the band overall.  Conception - In Your Multitude - I find this band's work underrated and often overlooked. Redemption - Snowfall On Judgment Day - one of the best progressive metal albums out there, in no way overrated The Gathering - Nighttime Birds and Mandylion - this one hurts, too Devin Townsend - Ocean Machine: Biomech - another progressive metal essential Voivod - Nothingface -  noTherion - Vovin - along with Theli created symphonic metal Deep Purple - In Rock - groundbreaking album, influential and unique when it came out Fates Warning - Parallels -  Dream Theater - Images And Words & Awake - two extremely influential albums, I don't see how they're overrated. Lake Of Tears - Forever Autumn - quite a unique album, in no way overrated and many others, I'll get back to it some time...

Posts: 6672 Written by nonZero on 30.09.2024 at 14:11 I actually listened to Forever Autumn yesterday, it's one of my favorite albums for the Autumn month along with Drudkh's Autumn Aurora. "So Fell Autumn Rain" has actually become one of my all time favorite gothic metal songs, but I think the whole album is beautiful.

Posts: 1381 Written by John_Doe on 30.09.2024 at 14:28 All of these are based on my personal enjoyment of them, or my ability to 'get' them rather than cultural impact. Most of these I only really have minor gripes with (e.g. messy songwriting on Awake, not the best vocals on Nothingface, lack of variety on Parallels and Mandylion, etc). 8/10 is a great album IMO but my experience of them just wasn't excellent or a masterpiece. Written by AndyMetalFreak on 30.09.2024 at 15:39 I really like ‘To Blossom Blue’ on that album, but I’ll give the whole thing a relisten I think.
