![]() Then a little band called System of a Down comes along with serious musical ability, reason to innovate, The only metal band worth listening to. Metal was sort of like reggae to me before SOAD, if you've heard one song, you've heard them all. ![]() Most metal is pretty dumb and a bit pointless in my opinion, because there was very little innovation and every song sounds the same. And they almost always have a meaning and I love that they sing and play about what's real! My favorite album so far is Steal This Album but Mezmerize is absolutely amazing. It was so cool to look at the inner workings of the SOAD and i love the whole band but i would have to say Daron is my favorite because he writes most of the songs. I recently read the article in Guitar Weekly on Daron Malakian. Thye are so amazing, daring and just all togther NOT afraid to try anything. I used to be so heavy on rap and SOAD was the only band i would listen to. It was so cool to look at the inner workings of the SOAD and i love the whole band but i would Okay so They are my favorite band and i've only recently gotten into metal. Okay so They are my favorite band and i've only recently gotten into metal. That a band can come with albums that are so distinct, so original, and so defining is an indication of System of a Down's upward path. Songs such as Cigaro, B.Y.O.B., and Revenga all infuse heavy raging polemic, jarring rhythms, and complicated melodic lines which has become so characteristic of System of a Down. However, this album contains less songs with silly lyrics (see Bounce). All of the albums so far are so different, its simply a matter of taste. ![]() I would not say that this album is better than the previous. They are clearly proving that rock genre is NOT fading. Songs such as Cigaro, B.Y.O.B., and Revenga System of a Down is one the hottest, most intelligent, and original bands out there. System of a Down is one the hottest, most intelligent, and original bands out there. Nothing will ever touch the gravity of that initial release but this album seems much closer to it, in the way that it breathes and twists and chunks and fires at you much more threateningly than anything on Toxicity or Steal this Album!, a job well done by the boys we were always glad made it to the top to blare that almost obnoxious madness onto the entire galaxy. System have hit that punk sound I'm certain trying to find for all the complicated studiowork involved in everything after the debut. Nothing will ever I'm glad to hear daron's guitar back in the front without a million backing guitar tracks muffling out the madness that his hands are capable of wreaking on that stringed demon.

With those, and Attack, which is mediocre, SoaD is still going strong, with uniquely deep, striking tunes and songs that will keep fans very, very occupied. The track "Lonely Day" has a touching tune, but the lyrcis, particularily "the most loniest day of my life" are a bit of an embarrasment rather than touching or serious in any way. Holy Mountains is one of their songs that has a calm tempo, but is far more powerful than most fast songs can accomplish- that goes for SoaD in general. Particularily the ending bits, where the tempo slows down a bit. Dreaming has a compelling tune and insightful lyrics, and the same goes for /most/ of U-fig. ![]() The chorus itself has SoaD's classic consistancy that I see as unique beauty. Tentative starts off slightly awkwardly, and what isn't the chorus is a little too tuneless for my tastes. ![]() Hypnotize (song) has a very powerful tune, living up to the band's capabilities. Even the chaotic Vicinity of Obscenity is compelling to listen to and extremely catchy. The chorus itself has My Review: Some of the best SoaD songs are in this album without a doubt.
