Disappointing/Overrated Albums 2025
1Geese
Getting Killed


Category: Overrated

Hoe scaring rock music. There's a way to be experimental and still make good music, but this group unfortunately hasn't quite nailed it yet. The more chaotic segments feel cluttered in the mix, like every element is competing for the spotlight.
2Steven Wilson
The Overview


Category: Disappointing

I hate this. The Overview just follows suit with more of the same as Steven Wilson's more recent works. A combination of the overly minimal album art, along with the music being entirely unengaging is what kills everything. There's definitely a level of respect for choosing to go even more abstract instead of more of a streamlined sound, but that respect can only go so far. There seems like there's no rhyme or reason for anything of what's going on.

The song structures are wildly incoherent, meandering, and it makes it very hard to maintain attention. Plus, the lyrics are so abstract that it's hard to get emotionally invested into anything of what's happening. It'd by nice to have a catchy rhythm everyone once in a while, but that just never happens on The Overview. Also, when the album art is so minimal, it's hard to create any semblance of a story to help to get immersed into the world he's creating.

This album might be Wilson's lowest point for my personal
3Whitechapel
Hymns in Dissonance


Category: Overrated

They are best when not writing bland run of the mill deathcore.
4The Mars Volta
Lucro Sucio; Los Ojos Del VacĂ­o


Category: Disappointing

Remember when this group was actually worth a damn? Now it's about as exciting as watching paint dry.
5Imperial Triumphant
Goldstar


Category: Overrated

Just another example of death metal going too pretentiously up its own arse for its own good. When all you want are incoherent song structures, dissonant guitars, cavernous wall of noise, at what point does it become too much? Apparently for a lot of death metal fans the skies the limit. Fuck that. Goldstar is for bored 50-something uncles and no one else.
6Kingdom of Giants
Burning Chrome


Category: Overrated

The most bland and lifeless modern metalcore you've ever heard. Look no further than Burning Chrome!
7Wednesday
Bleeds


Category: Overrated

Just... stale slacker rock? Aoty bro.
8Coheed and Cambria
Vaxis III: The Father of Make Believe


Category: Overrated

Band is always overhyped to oblivion. All of their albums sound exactly the same. This one is no different.
9Clipse
Let God Sort Em Out


Category: Overrated

Just some modern pop rap... That's it. Sounds outdated, to be quite honest.
10Deftones
private music


Category: Overrated

It's alright, I guess. This album came and went for me personally. Just feels a bit redundant at this point in the bands career.
11Lars Fredrik Froislie
Gamle Mester


Category: Overrated

D&d taking the hobbits to Isengard prog. So corny it hurts.
12PinkPantheress
Fancy That


Category: Overrated

The BRAT of 2025. There's nothing new here. Just more of the same stale modern pop music.
13Born of Osiris
Through Shadows


Category: Disappointing

I'm not mad, just disappointed.
14Tyler, the Creator
Don't Tap The Glass


Category: Overrated

Club rap boringness. Tyler is better than to just bend the knee and put out something so painfully low brow
15Earl Sweatshirt
Live Laugh Love


Category: Overrated

Deadpan hip hop is dead in the water.
16Signs Of The Swarm
To Rid Myself Of Truth


Category: Disappointing

Remember when these guys where sinister? Dark and foreboding? That's all gone. The only thing worth a damn by these guys is their debut and sophomore.
17Dance Gavin Dance
Pantheon


Category: Disappointing

Autopilot borningness.
18Dream Theater
Parasomnia


Category: Overrated

Not the comeback I was hoping for with Mike Portnoy back in the equation. Just sounds like the same run of the mill stuff they've done over the past decade, but now Portnoy is back on the drums... Overrated.
19The Acacia Strain
You Are Safe From God Here


Category: Overrated

Very bland modern deathcore. Don't get it.
20Deafheaven
Lonely People With Power


Category: Overrated

There is some good blackgaze out there. This is not that. It feels too one note. Too repetitive and it eventually becomes mindless drone off into the background. Needs more quiet contrasting moments.
