Maybe this has been done already, and with my luck it most likely has (in which case once someone directs me to the thread, this one will be deleted), but it's roughly the end of the year, time to pick the tracks you thought were overrated. Not necessarily the *worst* tracks out there, but the ones you thought got the most hype that really shouldn't have.

And yes, I expect Heater to be making the most appearances.

Here's mine

Gel Abril - Very Wrong (Chaim remix)

fucking boring techno track. It works to build into something, and even then there's plenty of other tracks I like better, but the track on its own is piss boring.

Martin Buttrich - Hunted

Another boring track, though the vocals I could see used and implemented well as an acapella.

Resident Advisor's Top Ten

/joke answer.


I'll come up with something seriously a little later...

Yeah, but I doubt every track on their top ten made it onto literally almost every tech house comp this year like that Chaim remix of Very Wrong

Damn me and my serious responses to joke replies :/

Same here. I guess every producer is allowed shit tracks and this is one of his; I was only surprised at the recognition is garnered.

Anything by Deadmau5 that is rated highly is overrated

faxing berlin. it's like a half decent filler track tops


'heater' isn't overrated at all, it's been duely slated by ~75% of its listeners!

I thought Faxing Berlin and Not Exactly were wonderful tracks, just a bit overplayed is all. His remix of Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger isn't too shabby either, but I'll concede that his bass, kick, and hi-hat combo seem to be recycled in every track he does.

I like to think i've avoided nearly all of them.

That's because you listen to psytrance. No one likes psytrance

lol trust me, there is a lot of real dogshit tracks in psy, but there's the good too. Most of my listening is split nowadays though between electronic (d&b, trance, psy/goa, progtrance/house) and forms of rock music.
