Re: The most overrated albums of the 1990s
My friend tends to be one of those "typical boneheads." He was living in Germany when Binaural dropped, so he got the record before I did. He called me with a track by track breakdown. And even HE likes Evacuation.TremorJam wrote:Agree completely. I've always loved that song.

Re: The most overrated albums of the 1990s
That's a really great album though. I am not really aware of its cultural status. Maybe it's because it's Lauryn Hill's only album and she went crazy shortly afterwards.

I'm not saying it's a bad record. I own it. I like it a lot. But it's absolutely overrated.
