06.14.08 | thank you very much

*this isn't sarcasm* |
PayneTiger777
06.14.08 | 1 and 3 should definitely not be on here. You should be shot for having them on here. I could care less about the others. |
fireaboveicebelow
06.14.08 | I hope you die. At The Drive-In is anything but overrated. Opeth has never been overrated. You're fucking overrating |
ninjuice
06.14.08 | LOL at all the people going nuts over this.
Opeth is a tad overrated, but they certainly are amazing.
I agree with Mars Volta, they're not as amazing as people say. |
Killed4less
06.14.08 | 1-3: yes, I agree
4-5: Fuck off you fucktard. Watch ATDI play live on a youtube video, you'll get it then. |

VicariousIntent
06.14.08 | And Nirvana isn't overrated?
Mars Volta MAYBE. Everything else...no. Tool and Opeth are mind blowingly good, and worthy of the praise that they get. |
botb
06.14.08 | yep, don't agree with any of these at all. They are all favorites of mine save 1, who is still very good. |
fireaboveicebelow
06.14.08 | how does not "getting" a band make them overrated? |
Athom
06.14.08 | 1. ???!!!
2. I whole heartedly agree with you.
3. ???!!!!
4. Listen to De-Loused. just do it. you'll see.
5. I dont know how you can say that. http://youtube.com/watch?v=kBUtkPrANRs
REALLY??!! |
willfellmarsy
06.14.08 | Go write an 82nd review loser...This list is the biggest fail in the history of fails...i question ur heterosexuality and truly believe you do not have a penis. |
SHOOTME
06.14.08 | epic failure. |
BallsToTheWall
06.14.08 | All these bands are overrated on sputnik but I highly doubt people on the street will be as infatuated in the same way as sputnik. All you ladies need to get your panties out of a bunch and change your tampon. I have spoken. |
Mendigo
06.14.08 | 1. Partially true, Lateralus was a masterpiece in my opinion, but the rest isn't that great at all (and the last album is pretty weak tbh)
2. completely agree (also with your comment). they're great on a technical level but not at much else.
3. well, I do like them.
4. again, completely agree with this one. actually they're not even good, after their debut (which was enjoyable) they've become really shitty.
5. I only have Relationship of Command and that's an album I do love.
so all in all: 2.5/5, better than most overrated bands lists. |
Mendigo
06.14.08 | btw, one of the most amusing threads here ;) |
xmattxhardcore
06.14.08 | Tool sucks. |
Masochist
06.14.08 | Tool's great, but just like with Radiohead I caught myself wondering why people laud them like the Christ of rock. Then again, perhaps they seem overrated not because everyone sings praises to them, but because it's just hard to find someone who DOESN'T like them. I think it's the same way with Radiohead--a band that, while perhaps not just awe-inspiring, still make really good music that everyone enjoys and no one really hates. Oh, well...doesn't matter much anyways, I like A Perfect Circle more than Tool.
I love Dream Theater. The first time I listened to them, I immediately thought they were deserving of the hype...so I can't agree with you on them.
Opeth is good...rightly lauded overall, but worshiped here on Sputnik, so I have to agree with your reasoning.
The Mars Volta is great, and they put on a pretty good live show, as well. Can't agree.
I've only heard one song by At The Drive-In (Catacomb). I can't make a judgment on them based on that one song.
All in all, I think I agree with Mendigo's rating. Still, this list is missing a couple of bands, in my opinion.
P. S. Sad that the one band that anyone will agree with you is the one that I like most out of these 5... |
ATLbraves
06.14.08 | I agree with 1-4.
Haven't listen to 5. |
Oneiron
06.14.08 | 1 - good, highly overrated
2 - great music, bad songs, also overrated
3 - The most overrated metal band outside of Meshuggah, but worthy of most of the praise they get. The fanboys kill any respect the band should get though.
4 - Not overrated, most people don't know or don't like them. Good though.
5 - Yup, completely agree |
stoopkid
06.15.08 | I agree with 2, and sorta 1.
But for everything else: you're gay. |
Chewie
06.15.08 | Balls is the voice of reason in this. |
willfellmarsy
06.15.08 | nope i'm pretty sure this user lacks a male sexual organ |
Killed4less
06.15.08 | Basically if you can't enjoy ATDI you don't deserve to listen to music.
I HAVE SPOKEN!!!! |
Ampersand
06.15.08 | 1. Meh, I can almost agree.
2. Done way too much for the genre to be overrated.
3. Opeth isn't overrated, more recognized since the switch to Roadrunner.
4. Overrated at times, but Deloused is immense. Not to mention I rarely hear talk of them, so I disagree.
5. Don't hear too much about them, so also disagree. |
DaveBum69
06.15.08 | 1,2 and 3 i don't listen to but 4 and 5 u should be shot, especally for 5 |
TheGreatD17
06.15.08 | so progressive metal as a genre then? |
Ire
06.15.08 | 1 fuck you
2 fuck you
3 fuck you
4 fuck you
5 fuck you |
ReturnToRock
06.15.08 | i've seen tool live, i fell asleep halfway through (seriously, i did!)
will reserve judgement on #4.
still think #5 is overhyped, and so does my mom.
maybe i should have put the strokes on here, too.
*looks down* and yup, i have a penis. even if i WAS gay, i'd still have a penis. it's part of the male anatomy, y'know? ;) |
Spamue1G
09.17.08 | Absolutely agreed with bodominflames. Although I'm not the biggest fan of 3, I honestly have no idea how you could not appreciate them. They're amazing for what they are, which is obviously a bunch of damn good songwriters, even if I don't like the final result. In that sense, they are no way overrated. |
Spamue1G
09.17.08 | But then again, Opeth aren't lords, so in that sense they are overrated. I LOVE all the others though. |
Gassman3268
11.19.08 | 1. Some good suff, but it all sounds the same. Agree for the most part.
2. Somewhat unsure about this one because I have only listened to Scenes From a Memory and it was pretty good. The verdict is still out on this one
3. Totally agree
4. Would need to listen
5. same as 4 |
TheCompilationMan768
09.20.10 | Needs Simply Red. God, I DESPISE THEM. |

09.20.10 | LEAVE THE AFROS ALONE! |
GnarlyShillelagh
09.20.10 | 4 is the only bad band on this list
also you forgot the beatles |
Emim
09.20.10 | You have Metallica first in your favorite bands list. I'm pretty sure that invalidates this entire list. |
crowing51
09.20.10 | You have Metallica,Green Day and Nirvana in your 5's. REALLY?!?!? Yet you make a list like this. |
JWT155
09.20.10 | Fuck you, Tool's my favorite band bro! |
porch
09.20.10 | list is two years old, dumbfucks |
JWT155
09.20.10 | So the age of this changes the content how? |
Emim
09.20.10 | Cause it just does. Don't argue with logic, JWT |

Shuyin
03.05.12 | tool and opeth are awsome |
SgtPepper
03.05.12 | Tool (like a slap to my face.)
At the Drive-In (Like a punch in to my stomach.)
The Mars Volta (Like a kick right in my testicles.) |
FearThyEvil
03.05.12 | So 1 is overrated because you can't get into them? Great fucking logic. |
auberginedreams
03.05.12 | i agree with all of these. i actually like ATDI, but they're still pretty overrated. they're better than the mars volta though. |
Katechon
03.05.12 | I dig some Opeth albums, but whole heartedly agree with everything. |
NeutralThunder12
03.05.12 | tool sucks, dt is overrated, you fucked up 3-5 moron those bands are brilliant |
