However Pure Heroine? That album only has a 73 on Metacritic and didnt even get insane acclaim. Plus its a generational album. Its not overrated.

It has a 79 on Metacritic. Honestly, this is expected coming from them. The album became a classic, shifted pop music, created a whole new generation of young female artist alongside other albums, but at the time they gave it a 60/100. They didn't like it as much as others, and that's fine. This would never erase its impact, which is all we should care for honestly. Charts and reviews don't represent impact very often anyways.

You know what? As much as I disagree with certain picks i really like the idea. Overrated lists should be more common.

And it is. How one thing affect another tho? LOL


PH is definitely not one, but so many bad/mid albums became classics and inspired a whole generation. One thing doesn't exclude the other.
Dangerously In Love, In The Zone, Born To Die, Stripped... they all were trashed by so-called critics, but still were able to influence a lot of artists to this day

now……..

Lady Gaga - The Fame Monster EP
Lana Del Rey - Chemtrails, BB, Ocean Blvd
Beyoncé - COWBOY CARTER
Taylor Swift - Lover, Midnights
Fiona Apple - Fetch The Bold Cutters
Bjork - Homogenic

Why would I be upset? hahaha they gave PH a 60, they didn't like it it's okay. I just don't know why Lana fans are getting that brave when they rated BTD a 40 out of 100 like....... do you really think they have credibility?

The praise for American Life is a lovely surprise :clap3:

I kind of agree with Confessions being on here. If they had said Ray of Light, it would be another story :coffee2:

Picking TTPD is very telling that they're after clicks and not actually putting forth a serious thought.

Confessions is far from overrated.

Unreliable when they omitted Beyonce. 

Her lyrics are cheap and albums are overrated. Duh.

I kinda fail to see how they'd consider TTPD overrated. Almost no one is claiming it's Taylor's best record, and the album already had mixed reviews on arrival..? :michael:

No one has to say it's Taylor's best for the album to still be considered overrated.
