I actually think Sabbath Bloody Sabbath is pretty overrated, and Technical Ecstacy is one big facepalm.
Rat Salad is a hell of a song, but you were spot on with most overrated, it's not even in their top 5 albums. (If you include Dio material)
Underrated Album: Master of Reality
Sabbath Bloody Sabbath is great! With Volume 4, I think Sabbath became slightly repetitive, but with instrumentals such as Fluff, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath added a progressive vein to their vocabulary. And I agree with Dotoar, A National Acrobat has a great riff. Though I think their best riff is the one in Lord Of This World from Master Of Reality, which I think is their best album by far.
I haven't listened to Technical Ecstasy, so I can't comment on that one. But I think you can add Changes from Volume 4 to your facepalm-list.
