Add indie rock fans to that list... They always have this, and some Del or Doom record or something...
I think
Endtroducing is a good record... not really my thing, but I like it enough.

It does not deserve to be mentioned in the same class as those albums. It's just not that good or even that important of a record. It is a very unique record which mostly accounts for it being so overrated.
Good point.
Also, I think the fact that it is overrated by huge music publications contributes to negative attitudes concerning the album. If you read a consensus that
Endtroducing is some groundbreaking must-own, and listen to it the first time and hear extended downtempo-style instrumentals, you might feel a little disillusioned.
