Overlooked? Maybe not. You got me there. Over rated? Definitely not.
Just because an album is popular, doesn't mean it's over rated, I'm glad it got what it got. It's really Space Rock and influenced many, many bands to come. Besides, I wouldn't call Mojo's "50 Most Out There Albums" necessarily complimenting the album. It got really popular as well as Pink Floyd singles in 1967, but it slowly died out as Pink Floyd got more popular.
3 million album sales in it's debut isn't really bad, but it isn't top notch the best that they could of gotten.
