Calling SW overrated is kinda weird, considering all his stuff actually is brilliant.
Saying that just by hearing some PT-songs doesn't make any sense, because there's No-Man, Bass Communion, I.E.M, Blackfield and the solo-album, just to name a few.. that are all fantastic projects. ;)

I personally think that calling guys like Jimi Hendrix and Kurt Cobain "overrated" is a bit of a misnomer.  Over-exposed, yes.... which really comes from the whole "cult-of-personality" thing that occurred after their deaths.  I mean, in the popular mind, Elvis is remembered more for that indelible image and attitude than for the music itself (no knock on the music).

Karnivool is CRIMINALLY underrated.

Orion....that's the one with a bunch of power chords and boringly harsh vocals, isn't it?

Maybe if they changed their stupid band name, they would be adequately rated?
