Jan 6, 2016 i feel its not out of the question for something to be best album of year and overrated in the same time
Jan 6, 2016 that its rated just fine (a good album, but nothing interesting outside of the production value) agreed
Jan 6, 2016 how is it "overhated" when the people that "hate" it are in the minority? (people like the new rg users that dont even give it any credit whatsoever)
Jan 6, 2016 overhated as in, the numerous people calling it "trash" when it really isn't people seem to to think it's the best thing ever or it's garbage. I rarely see people sitting in the middle like you
Jan 6, 2016 well thats what im saying. there aren't numerous people -- there are a few. a few who are vocal about it because there are twice as many calling it "perfect" and "critic-proof" most people that may even seem like the dislike it (like me) actually do like the album lol, just not its senseless stans
