Most Overrated Metal Songs Released Since 2000

Please DON'T ADD any songs by Linkin Park, Slipknot or Disturbed or any other Nu or Alternative Metal band that Is NOT actually metal. Also keep in mind that overrated does not always necessarily mean bad.

The Top Ten

1 Sound of Silence - Disturbed

2 Through the Fire and Flames - Dragonforce

Dragonforce has better songs than this

Sounds too poppy for me.

3 Lightning Strike - Judas Priest

Ah yes, it's a good song, but it proved that proved that TheTopTens is about metal bandwagoning (as shown in the Best Songs of 2018 list).

4 Bleed - Meshuggah

5 Octavarium - Dream Theater

6 Flying Whales - Gojira

7 Dystopia - Megadeth

I like this song, but it is kind of generic. Then again, it's also kind of hard to make something original these days.

8 Cirice - Ghost

9 Untethered Angel - Dream Theater

10 Spit Out the Bone - Metallica

The Contenders

11 Blood and Thunder - Mastodon

12 Blackwater Park - Opeth

13 Hexed - Children of Bodom

14 Diluvium - Obscura

15 Bodies - Drowning Pool

16 Chop Suey! - System of a Down
