System of a Down

[deeman12]

Does anybody like them as much as i do. I was listening to Toxicity, hypnotize, mezmorise and the first album, they have really good songs, one of which being Hypnotised it basically about propaganda. Man they are so good and Serg and Daron have incredible voices.

I like them, Toxicity would probably be their best album with songs like Chop Suey, Aerials and Toxicity.

They are good songs, but Chop Suey is my favourite SOAD song.

 

[legitimatic]

Chop Suey is my favourite of theirs, but I also like, Toxicity, Hypnotise, BYOB, Lonely Day, Psycho and **** the System.

 

[deeman12]

Man, i cant believe i though that avenged sevenfold were better. SOAD lyrics are so smart, its a shame they have taken a indefinite hiatus.

I've always loved SOAD. Must admit though i have not listened to them much lately.

Toxicity would be my fave album. Chop suey was the first song i ever heard of them, then i really got into them.

Serj is in the middle of recording his solo album. It will be instresting to see how it turns out, i really like darons back up vocals. I hope they continue after they take a break.

Self titled > Toxicity >>> Steal This Album >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Hypnotize/Mesmerize.

Hypnotize and Mesmerize were OK. I would call them adequate albums. To mention them in the same breath as self titled and Toxicity should be punishable in a court of law. I rate about three songs as good or better on those albums, where there are no weak tracks on their first two. Well, maybe Jet Pilot on Toxicity, which is pretty much why I rate self titled better.

I'll have to have a look for Mesmerize and Hypnotize. I haven't heard either of them for ages coz they're not in my car. They're not the worst, so there's a few tracks that I'd really like to hear again, but there's way too many songs that are just OK.

You severely over-rate Hypnotize as a song though. It's not bad and has pretty good lyrics, but it is so far down the list of classic System songs that it's not funny. The pick of those albums are BYOB, Radio/Video, Soldier Side, U-Fig and Vicinity Of Obscenity. Love those songs - but they're so far away from tracks like Chop Suey, Aerials, Sugar, Suite Pee, War...man, the list goes on for pretty much as long as their first two albums...

chop suey was damn brilliant.

Channel V used to play it soooo much..

and i'm like.... naaaaaaa

then i'm like.... maybe.....

then i'm like... yeeeeaaaaaa

That song opened many new doors for my ears.

EDIT: it was also a WAY better song then either Toxicity or Areials. Or any single since.

 

[lyall]

Never really been able to take them seriously.

Still like their music though

 

[lifelike_]

Everyone loves Chop Suey.

They're ok, a little bit goes a long way though.
