System of a Down Thread

[lateralus88]

It's not to scale, of course.

[Gadough]

Uh-huh.

[lateralus88]

Don't make me post pictures.








Seriously, don't.

[Gadough]

I'd like to continue this conversation, but I don't want to further derail the thread. I'd like to keep it on topic. So I'll just say this.

I think it would be hilarious if System pulled a Rage Against the Machine by standing on stage naked in protest. Then we'd get to see all their junk. NOT THAT I WANT TO OR ANYTHING.

[Gorille85]

Great news!

[Scard]

YES. I totally called it to my buddy like...2 months ago! I'm so stoked!

[Mechanix1911]

One of the first bands that truly got me into metal... I love them and really I can't wait until the fucking hiatus is over.

Anyways, I've got to do the album ranking.

1. Steal this Album
2. System of a Down
3. Toxicity
4. Hypnotize
5. Mezmerize

Hypnotize > Mezmerize.

And, I love Stealing Society, especially the Daron "rapping" part or whatever it is. It's really catchy.


+ I really think their B-sides are incredibly awesome.

[Zantera]

Great news.
My favorite SOAD-album would be Steal This Album!, after that it gets harder.
5 solid albums. 

[LieLowTheWantedMan]

1. Steal this Album

I thought I was the only one who thought this. 

[Gadough]

1. Toxicity
2. Hypnotize
3. Mezmerize
4. Steal this Album!
5. System of a Down

[Mechanix1911]

1. Steal this Album

I thought I was the only one who thought this.  

You're obviously not. Steal this Album has a wide variety of songs, and they are all fucking great in their way, I think I like that direction of SOAD the most. Even though I love hearing Hypnotize melodies.

It would be killer to do a Steal this Album! survivor, because the album is very consistent.

[Gadough]

A full-blown SOAD survivor would be badass.

[wolfking]

1. Toxicity
2. Hypnotize
3. Mezmerize
4. Steal this Album!
5. System of a Down

I think I agree with this.

[ariich]

1. Mezmerize
2. Toxicity
3. Hynotize
4. Steal This Album!
5. SOAD

[Zantera]

1. Steal This Album!
2. Toxicity
3. Hypnotize
4. Mesmerize
5. System of a Down

I used to prefer Mesmerize over Hypnotize, but overall they are kinda even for me.

[Ultimetalhead]

Oh YES. Finally a chance to see them live.

This shall be cool. I love Serj but his solo album was baaaaaaaad.

[lateralus88]

This shall be cool. I love Serj but his solo album was baaaaaaaad.

If you ask me, it was bad upon first reaction due to how different it was. I'd say that it was definitely a grower. I mean, it's still by no means great in my book, but it's solid if nothing else. But to each his own, I suppose.


ALBUM RANKINGS UP IN THIS BITCH:
1. Mezmerize (as of this past year)
2. Steal This Album!
3. Toxicity
4. SOAD
5. Hypnotize

Not a single bad album in their discog though. Each one is fucking awesome regardless. And their demo material is really cool too, if you guys haven't heard much of it before.

[LieLowTheWantedMan]

This shall be cool. I love Serj but his solo album was baaaaaaaad.

I thought it kicked ass.

[Gadough]

Random question: is Daron a druggie? He just doesn't seem right in the head at all. His eccentric personality leads me to believe he's on meth or something, or is that just who he is naturally?

[DarkEternalNight]

When musicians are on drugs, they write good songs. lollonelyday

[Gadough]

Lonely Day is the worst song System ever wrote, and that includes every song on the debut.

[lateralus88]

Lonely Day is just an overall terrible song. Also Gadough, your comment about their debut album confuses me. That album is so fucking good.

[Gadough]

I'm not too fond of it.

[Ben_Jamin]

Their debut is great.

I really hope this info is true, and hope they come by here at least.

[The King in Crimson]

This shall be cool. I love Serj but his solo album was baaaaaaaad.

Agreed.
It had nothing to do with how much I 'liked' SoaD (they're okay in my book), it was just fucking bad on it's own.

[glaurung]

I saw "System of a Down Thread" and thought it said "Devin Townsend" so I clicked on the thread.

I am disappoint.

[lateralus88]

wat

[glaurung]

I probably just saw the "down thread" part and in my head it said "Townsend".

I should probably just stop talking now.

[lateralus88]

No please, keep digging your grave. It's fun to watch.
