| Top 5 Most Overrated Albums
Let's all remember that this is just my opinion, of course. | | 5 |  | Metallica
Metallica
A.K.A the "sellout album". I was thinking about putting AJFA here, but this
album seems to be the more popular one for reasons I just can't understand at all.
Fans of Metallica have stated many times that "just because they changed
doesn't mean they suck!" Correct. Change can be a very good thing for a
band. It wasn't very good thing for Metallica. Why? Because *gasp* the
album Metallica isn't that good, nor is anything else after it. This album is
known mainly for the hits Enter Sandman and The Unforgiven, both
mediocre and overrated songs. As far as songs I like go, Nothing Else
Matters isn't that bad, but that's about it. Overrated album is overrated. | | 4 |  | Judas Priest
British Steel
Maybe Sad Wings of Destiny and Stained Class spoiled me too much, but
British Steel to me felt like a major step down in terms of quality and
musicianship. Many of the songs just sound bland and uninspired, with the
only standout tracks being Breaking The Law and Metal Gods. Honestly, I
felt that Mike Stagno's review of the album was spot on. | | 3 |  | Iron Maiden
The Number of the Beast
I'll go ahead and admit that I'm a much bigger fan of Paul Di'anno-era Iron
Maiden than Bruce Dickinson-era Iron Maiden. That doesn't mean I don't
enjoy Iron Maiden with Bruce. In fact, I still love Iron Maiden with Bruce.
However, there was always one album that I never truly understood the
critical acclaim for. Ladies and gentlemen, that album is none other than
The Number of the Beast. My main problem with this album is that it is
LOADED with filler. Save Run to the Hills and Hallowed Be Thy Name, and to
a MUCH lesser extent The Number of the Beast, no other track really stands
out. I mean honestly, does anyone even remotely like Invaders? | | 2 |  | Slayer
Reign in Blood
Now let's get one thing straight here: playing as fast as you can does NOT
automatically make a good thrash metal album. Reign in Blood suffers the
problem of a lot of the songs sounding almost completely similar to other
songs off the album, while others try to be Angel of Death 2, but end up
falling flat on their face. The only real credit I would give this album is Angel
of Death, as well as Raining Blood (although to a somewhat lesser extent). | | 1 |  | Metallica
Master of Puppets
One word:
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING.
Master of Puppets suffers from having plenty of long, drawn out songs that
never actually go anywhere. Leper Messiah, Welcome Home (Sanitarium), Orion, and
The Thing That Should Not Be are the main victims of this. Now, that's not
to say that I flat-out hate the album. Battery and Disposable Heroes are
great tracks that I don't fall asleep trying to listen to. Damage, Inc. is a
fairly decent track, but the intro is basically an entire minute of the same
repetitive and bland sound. And alas, the title track. Overrated? Yes. Bad?
Not really. I'm a sucker for the beginning riff and I love the little solo in the
middle of the song. It would benefit, however, by kicking off at least 2
minutes. I rarely like songs that go past the 6 minute mark. | |

05.04.11 | ^ good one. | climactic
05.04.11 | i remember when i made a shitty list like this
keithstone, something tells me you probably haven't listened to "every Converge album" | PostModernJellyfish
05.04.11 | Probably not. But for the sake of entertainment, let's just pretend he has. | PinkElephants
05.04.11 | agreed with everything but 1. That's undeniably the best metal album of all time in my opinion. | TarkAhh
05.04.11 | And Justice For All was a great album so I don't know why that was even a thought. Master Of Puppets was great as well. | drasticaction74
05.04.11 | you're right
but listen to more music | North0House2
05.04.11 | I wonder if this guy is regular? | pizzamachine
05.04.11 | i c wt u dd | railpressureflip3
05.04.11 | Loved seeing Metallica here. Good shit. | Tyrael
05.04.11 | I so agree with one, I bought it after hearing Ride The Lightning and I was dissapointed to say the least. 5 and 3 are also pretty overrated although that NotB is still a classic maiden album and I do like Invaders (wtf man?). Metal Gods is still a fantastic JP track and 2 is great. | darnielle
05.04.11 | oh thanx man | Butkuiss
05.04.11 | The only thing I like about Invaders is the bassline. Dat bass is shit hard to play. And yeah, NOTB is a great album, but overrated as shit. MoP I just never got the acclaim for...easily the worst of their 80s albums. Though the list is a bit thrash/classic metal based. | JamieTwort
05.04.11 | 4 is definitely overrated, it's about the 6th best Priest album. | PinkElephants
05.04.11 | "I rarely like songs that go past the 6 minute mark."
No wonder you don't like these albums, you just don't like good metal in general. So many of my favorite metal songs are MUCH longer than 6 minutes. | iPim
05.04.11 | Disagree with two. | AnalAnnihilator
05.05.11 | 2 is one of the greatest metal albums eer created | AnalAnnihilator
05.05.11 | *ever | Curse.
05.05.11 | 1-2 are the tits |
