Most OVERRATED albums of 2007 (rap, single, American, rapper, member)

I guess any music forum at the end of the year ought to have a thread like this, eh? I'm sure there'll be a few matters of contention, but this is Music Banter after all and it's all in good fun.

The following albums get my nod. Note, I do not mean by this that these are bad albums. Merely that they've received an awful lot more credit and acclaim than I believe they deserved:

Burial - Untrue
The Field - From Here We Go Sublime
Battles - Mirrored
Kanye West - Graduation
Jay-Z - American Gangster
and finally...
LCD Soundsystem - Sound Of Silver (and particularly the song All My Friends)

A note on the final choice: I do like this album a whole lot, but I firmly do not believe that it is even top 5 material in 2007 and the way it has been received is, imo, suspect to say the least.
