Totally agree with that one. Was verrrrry disappointed with the kid606 release I got (forget which one to be honest).
I think geogaddi's overrated also.

kid606 is inconsistent,.but i wouldn't say he was overrated.
autechre are definitely overrated on this board. i probably wouldn't have bothered listening to them if some many folks hadn't worshipped them so much.
they're good but i get the idea i'm only scratching the surface

Nobody's overrated if you love them. But I could never really get into most Venetian Snares. A couple of his albums and some miscellaneous tracks are fun, but I don't like most of his more aggressive stuff.

(overrated is about group consensus not individual opinion though, right?)

Kid606, Max Tundra, Global Goon. Totally overrated.
Unbelievable that any of those chancers have a record deal in the first place. It's like third-rate MP3.com IDM-by numbers shite.
No, even shite would sound better.

WHAT?!? AE PLAID AFX?!, Might as well throw in WARP records while you are at it. So if you think they are overrated who do you think is the opposite? As in, who is rated equally to what their skills are? This question makes no sense. If an artist is "overrated" a certain negative connotation is implied. When I say something is overrated I am saying that it is not worth the praise that it is currently receiving, that’s a negative statement. Maybe you havent got the music yet, listen some more you'll see that their art is worth a LOT of praise.
When I think of overrated artists I am thinking of fatboy slim, moby, chemical brothers...prodigy

"When I say something is overrated I am saying that it is not worth the praise that it is currently receiving"
My feelings exactly on Squarepusher and Venetian Snares.

in Global Goon's case, that's exactly what happened. just listen to his tracks. they are 100% mediochre demo material.

haha, this coming from the person who thought Global Goon just sounded like an Aphex ripoff.
It's a pity you are too blinded by jealousy to see that there is a lot to like about his music.

i became a fan of global goon's stuff even before learning the story's surrounding his afx association......his stuff is fun and captivating to me, if anything he’s underrated in my book….iv always believed his music represents what braindance is meant to be.

i'm with nac on this one - mike's music is awesome - listening to bileous paths makes me glad to be alive and makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up - and who else could release 2cd's of tracks of odd tracks from early 90's onwards that sound so fresh and still dont sound out of date

it's dumb to say someone like global goon is overrated..how many people in the world have atually heard anything by him?
even venetian snares and autechre aren't really well known enough to be overrated. there simply isn't a big enough proportion of fans:haters:hype
