I sort of have to agree with this. They all are really good musicians, and they created a LOT of good music, and they did inspire a lot of the heavier music today, especially in the groove metal genre though I wouldn't say it's limited to that. Where I sort of thought they were maybe a little bit overrated is probably in how they're perceived within metalhead communities. It's sort of like with Tool or Radiohead where there are people who have no off button where it comes to Pantera, and they ultimately compare the rest of the music world to them.

IMO they're more overrated than underrated, but if there was a neither option I would've or at least could've went with that.
