Do you like them?

They are one of my big favorites. Awesome drumming; awesome catchy, simple guitar; awesome voice and lyrics (long live Josh Homme). Besides, all their albums are good, my favorite being probably Era Vulgaris with songs like Turnin' On The Screw, I'm Designer (this song should've been a single IMO), Battery Acid, 3's & 7's (guitar riff reminds me of a "backwards" Smells Like Teen Spirit riff), Suture Up Your Future and Run, Pig, Run (just epic, listening to it as I type this post)

So what are your thoughts on them?

3's & 7's reminds me of Song 2 by Blur a little bit. And yeah, I think they're pretty good, Songs For The Deaf was a brilliant album.

They are amazing, and even better live. I saw them with Rage Against the Machine, and Queens was as good if not better.

How are they overated? Whether you think they are good or not is one thing, but to be overated you have to be acknowledged by lots of people. They aren't.

They have their own strong following, and critics have also shown them favour (in comparison with the likes of Nickelback and 50 Cent).

Oh, so since they have fans and have gotten decent reviews, they are overated (even though they are far from mainstream)? So is there some arbitrary person that decides what's overated and what's not? Is someone's opinion more valuable than mine? What I'm getting at is this: You either like them or you don't. They aren't underated or overated, it's just whatever you like. To determine if something is good or bad, there has to be someone with an opinion above our's. That doesn't exist.

It was the best show I've ever been too. Rage is so full of....rage. It was insane. And thanks, Tool is my favorite, too bad they are nearly impossible to see :(

I find they are too mainstream, and could have better instrumentals.

That's not the definition of "over/underrated." It does not matter whether a band is successful and "mainstream" or not, in terms of overratedness. I, nor sAndroid (I doubt), was referring to one specific person's opinion, but just the general consensus of the band in question. With "general consensus" you may think "Well they rarely chart so whose opinions is/are that/those?" It is simply the opinion you find from the majority of the people you interact with. I can't speak for sAndroid, but I've found too many devotees of QotSA for comfort, as are their generally-favorable reviews. Therefore, based off what seems to be the majority opinion of those who've encountered them, they are rated well. I disagree, therefore they are overrated (in my opinion).

I have Lullabies to Paralyze, Rated R (one of my favorite albums of all time), and Era Vulgaris. I should get Songs for the Deaf....

Anyway, they seemed to have gone down the drain since Nick left (although they kicked him out for a good reason) and I doubt they'll release another album anytime soon.
