The Gorillaz are underrated. I love them. They are terrific.

Blood Pressure by the Kills is an underrated album as well.

Pretty good album, I don't think it's underrated though.. People use that word too liberally.

I'll give Origins of Symmetry for most underrated album. But yeah, Gorillaz are awesome.

I think you're getting underrated confused with underplayed or unknown

Not really. Great album but Gorillaz are far from "underrated".

Demon Days went Double Platinum in the US and did even better in the UK plus it was released just a few years ago. This is not an unknown album. Critics really liked it for the most part so I wouldn't call it underrated either.

I said underrated because at the time you really didn't see alot of a mix between underground rock and rap caleb with a few choir songs mixed in.

I don't think underrated is the word you're looking for. "Unique" seems better.

It started strongly but the second half of the LP was a snooze-fest.

My favorite part is that it's a reference to "Let It Be" :)

One of my favorite songs ever. I'm glad I'm not the only one that likes the song.

Demon days was my favorite song on the album. Love the choir touch. Kind of sad and happy song.

Last living souls is another good one.

Apple used one of their songs for an iPod commercial. Not underrated at all.
