But that's just my opinion.

This could be more easily argued thanks to all the flak they take simply for being popular

When was the last time you saw someone underrate them because they are popular?
I think they are overrated because to me their music mainly sound like a combination of a bunch of other bands before them I don't think were particulary progressive, or great (imo) in the fist place.

They're underrated among elitists, which - last time I checked, was the only people who got a shred of respect on these forums

With all due respect, over/under rating remains a matter of personal preference. Such artist may be more talented than another, such artist may be underrated for one and overrated to someone else.
It seems Dream Theater is well rated by a lot of people.
I saw Dream Theater last summer and liked the show. Quite obviously, their musical background seems more limited than some other bands, but they work well inside their limits.
The sound and the song's construction, although, is rather uniform and I hope they can put more variations in their inspiration. This may lead them to push their actual limits and produce something more original and more performant.
The parenthood of their sound with lots of actual prog bands may eventually place them as a band among others.
So overrated or underrated? As far as I'm concerned, it is a typical 21st century band, that works OK with limited musical background, and limited imagination and limited inspiration.
