Default Here are some more overated but ****ty bands in my opinion.

Avenged Sevenfold are a very accessible metal band that have been around since 1999. They have been around making album after album trying their hardest to make a dent in popular culture and have a successful crossover hard rock/metal album in the charts.They have not succeeded although they were nominated for a grammy this year which they refused to attend because they found out that the grammys weren't televising the best rock album category. Avenged Sevenfold are true metal fans dont get me wrong, those guys are decent fellows but that doesn't mean that they don't ****ing suck. Their first albums were in the metalcore genre and if you listen to it you can clearly hear how ****ing terrible it is. But then they moved on to a more commercial and accessible sound. Their sound of the bands most well known songs like Seize the day, Beast and the Harlot, Bat Country and MIA you could describe as Alternative Rock, Pop, and maybe even hard rock. Despite being influenced by legendary hard rock and metal bands Guns N' Roses and Metallica Avenged Sevenfold's sound is so mediocre and average. They also have a cartoon character vibe about them with their ridiculous names like M. Shadows, Synester Gates and Zacky Vengeance. Their ballad Seize the day was an alternative pop rock track that sounded like it could've been written and performed by Pink. The video was a ridiculous attempt at redoing November Rain. Avenged Sevenfold are a very overrated band in the Metal community. They seem to have such critical acclaim and respect as a metal band even though they've tried so hard their whole careers to be a pop rock band and be mainstream which has never worked. Any album they have done or will do in the future is not even worth checking out. It's below average canned crap.

Tool are a band that started in the early 90's. They are a very overrated band that are incorrectly labeled Alternative Metal and Progressive metal. Their fans talk about Tool as if every work that they've done is absolute genius. I swear to god I've tried to like it but it honestly sucks. It's just badly organized drop d riffs with barely any decent song structure. They aren't even a metal band and I checked on google they're considered one of the best Metal bands of all time. If anything they are Alternative rock and maybe Hard Rock because they have distorted guitars. Another thing is the fact that the band similar to Slipknot seem to be embarrassed to show themselves in music videos or pictures. I don't think they even appear in any music videos. Their music video for Sober is talked about and shown allot on music video tv shows. The only thing I like about Tool is that they seem like down to earth nice guys. I've seen an interview between Lars Ulrich and Maynard James Keenan for the show beats 1 where Maynard really comes off as a really intelligent and articulate man, if only his music were actually good. Just to prove that Maynard sucks musically just listen to his terrible side projects A Perfect Circle and Puscifer. It's downright terrible crap.

Pearl Jam. Well I probably will take some **** for this one but I actually think Pearl Jam are not that bad. Their first album Ten was the only decently good album they ever did and everything after that is just forgettable and not worth listening too. They basically spent their entire career living off of the success of one album. They spent the early part of the 90's trying to live up to Kurt Cobain's expectations of how an anti commercial alternative rock band
should behave even though he made it obvious that he hated them. By stopping doing music videos and boycotting ticketmaster who they accused of charging too much for tickets or something like that. All those things are very honorable but that doesn't make their music good. Just because you have allot of strong values and artistic integrity doesn't mean your music automatically is considered good. It seems that the more rebellious and anti commercial Pearl Jam became the worst their music got. The album Vs in 1993 was their version of an aggressive and heavy grunge rock album. It was full of fast and direct rockers like Go and Animal and boring slow songs like Daughter. The album sold millions of copies even without any music videos. The album to me came off as a forced and failed attempt to make a grungy heavy rock album which Nirvana did with Nevermind. There are no musical highlights in the album whatsoever. It is just totally boring and forgettable. I guarantee you if the album didn't have the name Pearl Jam on it and wasn't released in 1993 it would not have sold anything close to what it sold. Pearl Jam released the album Vitalogy in 1994. The album was released only a year after Vs which obviously meant that the material wasn't very strong. The album contains what became one of the bands most well known songs Better Man which was written solely by Eddie Vedder before he even joined Pearl Jam. The song is the only highlight on what is a terrible, boring and forgettable album. An amazing thing is that the absolutely ****ing terrible song Spin the Black Circle actually won a grammy award, that pretty much sums up how important the Grammy Awards are. Even the production of the album is bad. The album was recorded as if it were a live studio album, like the songs were done live in one take. It seems to have been an artistic statement the band were making just like Nirvana did with In Utero. Now here is when things go downhill. After Vitalogy the bands music became so ****ing amazingly bad and the band themselves started to become more faceless and reclusive. With terrible unheard and ignored albums like No Code, Yield and Binaural the band became just another band that nobody cared about anymore. These albums are so ****ing horrible, the names of the albums, the boring and forgettable songs and the lack of presence as a band. There's not one person who can name one song off these terrible albums, not one song. The albums are so unbelievably bad that to me If I were them I would have just never recorded or released them. All this didn't seem to bother the fans who still liked them because of their first album Ten. I remember in 2006 I saw their studio video in black and white for Worldwide Suicide. The song was pretty bad and the video is just Eddie Vedder sitting down and singing the song. Through all that Pearl Jam have stuck around and are still together and are now remembered as a great rock band something that I do not agree with.

To be continued. More bands will be mentioned in future posts.
