Asking "if the are overrated or not" is comparing your sentiment about the band against everyone else. You are comparing your opinion against other people's opinion. Opinions are subjective, ja. But you don't have to buy into everyone else's opinion.

Just for the heck of it I googled "metal bands 90s" and Pantera was listed 2nd in the returns. They were between Metallica @1 and Slayer @3. Even "Metalsucks" ranks Pantera at #2, between Crazy Town and Korn. The 25 Most Important Metal Bands of the '90s Archives | MetalSucks

In general, against everyother Metal band, they rank up there but not as high as a 90s Metal band. Do you think they should?
