System of a Down- Mezmorize
« on: May 21, 2005, 08:14:24 PM »
Clips\' thread gave me the idea of doing a thread on the new SOAD cd.

I think its pretty damn awesome, but theyll never make another CD that meets the standard of Toxicity and S/T. But none the less, still a very good album. The guitarist sings a crap load in it, but people have mixed feelings on his voice. I personally like it, especially on a raggae part they throw in on one of their songs (Radio/Video).

Its definitly better than Steal this Album, but seeing as STA was just extra songs from toxicity, you cant compare that album with the rest.

Just amazes me how many simple songs SOAD makes, but theyre still awesome songs. And they throw in so many different sounds in the album: acoustic, heavy (SOAD heavy..not..heavy heavy), raggae, eletronic, etc.

Not really any songs that stand out from the others. Lost in Hollywood is good for the first couple minutes but then gets tiresome.

I guess this is the first cd of a double cd release. the other one comes out in like 6 months. Kinda hoping its an acoustic album, but i obviously wouldnt mind the usual SOAD kind of CD.

Havent really liked them since SoD (first cd), when Sugar came out. There were a couple catchy songs on Toxicity but besides that i havent really liked them since.

heard of them before, but i doubt i\'ve ever listened to any songs from them,..just like gorillas, if they\'re cd is hot i\'ll cop it..i\'ll have to hear a few joints from them first tho...
knowledge, wisdom & understanding..these are the basic fundamentals of life

if you can\'t amaze them with brilliance, baffle them with bullsh*t....

Not to barge in on this thread, just thought I\'d ask something nicely of you guys.  All of you that listen to them, please stop.  That only encourages this shitty band to make more music.

anyone know of any bands that have similar songs to SOAD\'s BYOB?  I love that reggae rift in there, it reminds me of Martian Puppets

ROFL

Their entire sound is borrowed from punk.

Real punk that is.

Not that that\'s a bad thing either. They do it very well and add their own twist. But it all wreaks of Dead Kennedies/Sex Pistols etc. etc.

I personally think they are medicore band that gets by only because of their political "message", which to me, sounds more like a gimmick for the band, then anything.
