i guess, eden meant overrated and underrated.

let's see who's underrated... and overrated....

redlight
Underrated list:

Liz' new stuff and wcse
Monster-in-law biggrin.gif
Sundays (or at their prime, did they get heaps of praise? wink.gif )
Red light fever! sad.gif

Overrated list:

Allmusic.com's review of Sheryl's c'mon c'mon
Stratford-on-guy (sorry, lovers of the song but I just don't see why it's a masterpiece)
Million dollar baby
Madonna 2003 (with her last album the weakest reviews it got really was that it was 'average'. in reality, those reviewers were too scared to admit that it SUCKED BEYOND BELIEF).
fucked up blair23
huhhh. you don't like stratford on guy. hmmmmm. i think it's her best song, definitely my favorite. it's so layered. the vocals intertwine, there's the ringing sound in the chorus, the warped drum intro, the perfect poetic lyrics. beautiful song!!!

wcse is definitely underrated.
overrated would be alanis' jagged little pill. wtf?! yeah, hark the herald of angry chicks singing, liz did it better with exile in guyville.
LightYears
in relation to Alanis.

Over-rated;
1. Jagged Little Pill
2. Under rug swept.

Underated;
1. Supposed former infatuation junkie.
2. MTV unplugged.
3. So-called chaos.

And Heather did it better than both of them. I mean, come on. What did Alanis and Liz really have to be angry about?

I take that back for Alanis.
redlight
Rejection, loneliness, stuck-in-a-rut.... basically the unwillingness to maintain a stable relationship. That's what shines through to me when listening to guyville.
fucked up blair23
lys, you're such a heather fan. you made a promise and you didn't fulfill it. i'm so mad. tongue.gif
redlight
Moreover, the one song that illustrates the theme of the album perfectly is Shatter.
LightYears
Heather's a better artist, it's not my fault.

And Blair, do you have MSN? I'll send you some things.
redlight
I promise to buy an album one day LY... and hopefully see why you love her so much tongue.gif
fucked up blair23
no, i don't. i don't have enough friends to have msn. it's okay. i have a soulseek connection, who has a folder filled with rare heather stuff. and i will reap. haha.

i agree, redlight. shatter is definitely one of the highlights in eig. that song is perfect, from the emotional lyrics, the soothing yet stirring strumming and the feedback noises through out the song. lovely!

I think Bjork is overrated. I really can't stand her.

Charlotte Martin is very underrated, as was Vanessa Carlton and Michelle Branch's sophomore albums. Oh and Girls Room.
LightYears
I LOVE Charlotte Martin.

Oh yeah! Oh yeah!
redlight
It's such a heartbreaker. A perfect heartbreaker at that.
redlight
Shatter can be the perfect down tempo heartbreaker and Fuck and Run can be the perfect mid tempo smile.gif

overrated: since you've been gone
underrated: losing grip

I shall have to disagree about Bjork. I think she's bloody marvellous.

Hotel Paper I'd say was very underrated and yeah, girls room is criminally underrated. It's one of the album's many shining moments!
redlight
If Since U Been Gone had never been a single then I'd love it longer. Ever since it blasted onto UK radio, I grew tired of it instantly.

I always have to listen to it twice because it's just too damn short! laugh.gif
redlight
Damn, you and I are so alike in some ways tongue.gif
phairphreak


I love Vanessa Carltons sophomore effort, never heard Branchs entire cd, just the singles. For some reason she started bugging me.

Overrated – Kanye West
Underrated – Bif Naked

laugh.gif

that's quite pathetic considering she is one of the best and most influential artists of out time.
jivafox
Hey, i can't help it! I bought her Greatest Hits because I'd heard great things, her voice really really bugged me and i just can't get into anything she's ever done.

except for "Oh So Quiet" tongue.gif
QuieroPhair
That is alrite if she isn't your cup of tea, but she isn't overrated. She deserves every strand of credit for the wonderful work she does.
redlight
I detest It's Oh So Quiet laugh.gif
