LWE 2Q Reports: Top 5 Overrated Tracks

Most of them are not intolerable and some of them you might even enjoy — all the more reason to figure out why they punched above their weight.

I could have filled this entire list with selections from RH, but with apologies to them, Mojuba G.O.D., the afore-mentioned Running Back, Styrax Leaves, Clone Classic Cuts, Delsin, Prescription Classics, Downwards, Alleviated and all the other labels that have been schooling me, you and anyone else too young, too ignorant or too poor to check these on the OG pressing, here’s an essential five.
