Overrated?
Green Day's "American Idiot" by far.
Now, looking beyond the fact the album itself has very little political orientation, it's supposed to be a rock opera. Such a description is laughable. There are two suites, the second of which sucks, surrounded by the same standard pop ditties churned out by many a band these days. Granted, they contain much more musical variation seen by the standard pop album, but are hardly a revitalization of rock music. Furthermore, the lead single sucked at first, and became progressively more annoying. Just... bleh. "American Idiot" is better than the generic pop punk/rock album put out these days, but a far cry from all of the praise people bestow upon it.
Let's just say, it suffers from "Nevermind" disease.
I hate musical trends.
