When van dyk's album came out last year, I liked what he was spinning, lately though, he's been cranking up the speed and spinning alot of harder trance records...his sound is definitely getting cheesy, but I wouldn't say any cheesier than tiesto or avb, who are both getting a tad more progressive, which is awesome. Anyway, his mixing skill is great, his productions are amazing, his style lately has just turned me off...
peace

his mixes are occasionally good - i think its just the fact that you can guess the last 4 tracks of every friggin set he plays that lets him down.

PVD isn't overrated at all. He's the man and he deserves what he has.
I voted for both
Paul van dyk is simply amazing
his DJing skills are great
and his albums are mind blowing
especially Out there and back
easily my favorite album of all times
pvd's amazing at whatever he decides to do... he's the only one that will never cease to amaze you, be it producing, mixing, or just blowing your mind away while seeing him live (or listening to the mp3 of course)
His production style is hit and miss ... 'For an Angel' = serious contender for best trance song ever ... 'You are alive' = fuckin appalling cheeze.
His DJ style's a bit too Germanic for me as well, I prefer the smooth'n'melodic way the Dutch guys do it.
So he's not bad ... but he definitely doesn't deserve to get his ass kissed 24/7 like everyone on here seems to think. Does that make him over rated? I guess it does 
PvD is not overated!
my view is that Paul Van Dyk is a Legend! some of my best clubbing experiences have been when his being playing at Gatecrasher Godskitchen, Cream etc etc his Production & Remix work is second to none & he can mix good too for the styles he plays. His 6hrs sets which i've seen from his first april 99 @GC to 2001 have been all an amazing experiences! ok he likes to play his own stuff & remixes a lot!
but can you blame him? anyone would if they had a back catalogue of own music like he does
hopefully i'll get to Berlin this year & see Paul Plays Paul
i've never got bored of seeing PvD Live
& i've been following him since '97' & I can't see myself stopping either!
seen him 2x so far this year GC @NEC & Cream & he was Amazing both times!!!
What more does he have to prove?
IMO the very major part of his productions is either overrated or rightfully bashed.
His mxing skills, however, are more than excellent!
OH SHIT!!!
I thought the vote was for which aspect on PvD you thought was overrated....
Please change a vote for Producing to DJ'ing.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but what the F**k is anyone talking about here!!! PVD sets the tone for everything in this scene. Sure, Tiesto and Armin are hot now and play great sets as well as release nice mixes, but give credit where credit is due. PVD's sets are the most incredible display of music and mixing around(in the trance/house scene) Listen to what he does...he willhave three tracks playing at once, mixing and weaving bak and forth. When I go home from a PVD show, I want to throw my booth out the window! He productions are superb! Cheesy?? How is that even possible? He has his own style, his signature samples and beats..he is a master of electronic music and if you think differently, get over yourself and respect the man.
THOU SHALT DIE for what u said
PvD is the best , nuff said 
i think his productions suck balls...but i love his livesets so much!!
boooring
All DJ's are overrated, no DJ is God ye know. I like his mixing and his remixing/productions.
pvd is a fuckin legend!!
