Slipknot aren't even "rated" to begin with. Like so many other people, bands, and what have you, people too often confused something as being "overrated" as being "too popular". Slipknot are too hyped by mallcore kids, yeah, but as musicians, they live up to their extreme billing. In fact, their newer stuff is so far a departure from the old material, I HOPE they lose their bandwagon contingent of fans.
