If thats the case I kinda understand the point you're making, although i still don't agree with you.
Many great and wonderful bands have albums they shun and their fans shun - and that makes them no less a great band. David Bowie rejects most of his eighties material these days, I consider him not to be overrated. My favourite band, the Church have stated many a time that their 1996 album "Magician Among the Spirits" is a weaker album, and they are no less great or overrated for that reason.
My point is that good bands can make crappy albums, that doesn't make them terrible or overrated - they just made a bad album. It happens.

That statement is completley void, because Pablo Honey wasn't a crappy album, so it in no way relates to this situation.
