System of a Down- Hypnotize

[Viper_Fujax]

I think the albums awesome. Nothing like the first one obviously, then they changed a bit with toxicity but still kicked ass, then gave a compliation cd of mediocre songs that didnt make it on toxicity with steal this album. Mezmorize was pretty good, but didnt have the replayablity as the first 2 albums.

But the new one is really good. It obviously has the sound of mezmorize, but the singing is a lot better in hypnotize. Theres a lot more of the guitarist singing, whose voice annoys the crap outta some people, but i think it sounds good.

not really sure how to totally describe the sound, but if u like mezmorize, you\'ll really like this album. If you cant stand the guitarists voice, i doubt ull like it but its worth a try.

Id list the best songs but the only one that i dont like is She\'s like heroin..alright song but not as good as the rest. and vacinity of obscenity is a weird ass song.

It sure pisses off a lot of people I know that I like System of a Down.  Their music is unlike anything else I listen to.  I\'ll have to give this album a listen - I agree with your thoughts on the earlier stuff.

I think they\'re a kickass band with talent that doesn\'t need to dress like Marilyn Manson or slipknot to get attention.

But that guitarist gotsta go.  don\'t like him

They are avery talented band, nothing beats Toxicity (and never will)- but I\'m still glad to see them release new music.

Mezmerize was pretty piss-poor, a few really good songs- but everythign else was pop-filler.

Im sure I\'ll pick up Hypnotize though - only because I buy too much music.

Is it as short as Mezmerize? That really pissed me off- it was like 30 minutes long. :rpissed:

I liked Mezmerize more.  Just one man\'s opinion.

I uhm...I tolerated Toxicity...
I have Mezmerize and didn\'t care for it, doubt I pick this one up.

i hear ya..it is pretty annoying for people to say chop suey was the best song ever yadda yadda yadda. I just liked it in general even though it was completely different from the first. the problem was that the songs were radio friendly so i heard them about 50 billion times. So i havent really listened to that album since it came out, but i liked it.

LIC probably wont like it if he hated mezmorized. Can always listen to those clips on amazon.

nvm..they dont have them up yet. and its probably like 45 minutes long. probably a little less. Pretty short again.

Toxicity was their best work.
Why?
Sales = King

No way man...

Toxicity was a fucking good album. Prison Song kicked ass, and Chop Suey was gay.

LIC - What did you think of their first album (SOAD) then?

I liked their first album by far. That back up vocal is ruining it for me.

Did Rick Rubin produce it?

Btw anyone else pick up the new Weezer album Im impressed with it.
