Overrated: 5150. Don’t get me wrong - I love it. Production/mix is kinda a buzzkill and it has some filler tunes I could never hear again.
Underrated: A Different Kind of Truth. After a hiatus of over a decade and all the various issues worked through to get to that point - this album had no business being so damn good. Yes, the mix is brick walled and Ed could’ve halved the gain knob on his amps…but that album breaths fire.

Here's JD's answer. I'll answer for him with a "can't believe some love drivel like WCTBL or CSLY".
You know he has to mention. His disdain for those two track regardless of topic.
So the JD answer will be WACF.

Overrated:
For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge - this album is basically half killer and half filler. Too many songs that are just meh by Van Halen standards.
Underrated:
Van Halen II - I can play this album all the way through without any urge to skip a single track. It's not Van Halen I, but nothing else is.
