i dont get system of a down. i had one CD toxicity and it sucked. they sound like a bunch of talentless morons. hell i cant even play a guitar and i guarentee i can put together a better garage band than SOD. they dont even sing.

Erm...what? If you don't like their style then that's fine. Just look at how many copies of "Mesmerize" have sold already and then tell me they're "talentless morons".

Even if they were "talentless morons" I'm sure they could have written your reply with better grammar and punctuation than you just did. :dunce:

Ever hear the song "Aerials"? That's not singing?
 
Or "Roulette" the acoustic track. On the new album there's a lot of harmonising between Serj and Daron and I'd classify that as singing. Pretty talented stuff too.

I have been a System of a Down fan for a while, and I loved "Toxicity" and "Steal This Album!" but this new album "Mesmerize" takes the cake for being their best album yet. I liked the single "Cigaro" and loved "Bring Your Own Bombs (B.Y.O.B.)" but I never expected any other songs on this album to be so good. The other songs on the album are incredible. Much better than B.Y.O.B and Cigaro, which says a lot. They pretty much all have social and political commentary in them, but they work well. Some songs that stand out are "Sad Statue," "Lost in Hollywood," and "Violent Pornography." These songs are insane, they combine harsh guitar riffs with soothing lyrics. Most of these songs are ones you can sing along to, too, like "Aerials" and "Chop Suey!" This is how I like my System of a Down. SoaD may be NuMetal, but they are in a genre of their own in my mind.
5/5
^That is the review I submitted 5 days before the album's release. :P I'm suprised it made it through!

Go ahead. You said it, now prove it.





If you can't / won't get the hell out of here and don't come back until you can at least back up your opinion with valid arguments.







Event, System of a Down is Alternative Metal, if anything, not NuMetal.

Nirvana weren't all that talented (all Kurt Cobain played were power chords), yet they were one of the most popular bands of the 90s. That being said, a band doesn't have to have a great deal of talent to be good (yes, I like Nirvana).

they dont even sing.
sing
"1. To utter a series of words or sounds in musical tones."
"2. To vocalize songs or selections."​
How the hell do SoAD not sing?! Please, think before you speak.

Oh, and I can't wait to hear some demo tapes from said garage band. :)

I'm gonna have to bust out the whoopin stick if you start a genre war. We settled it in the SOAD thread that they are NuMetal.
 
Actually im not too big of a fan on nirvana but i prefer them over SOAD. im not saying i hate ALL their songs but 95% i do. i dont bother trying to puntuate or capitalize because im not writing an essay. i dont care what you say i dont like them, i think they suck, dont need to try and proove anything. yes they've sold millions, i guess that means im wrong, whatever. you got me. ow. im not a newb, you idiot, ive been a member longer than you.

If you don't like a band doesn't mean that they suck. I don't like Nirvana, but I won't say that they suck either.


You didn't have to prove anything until you made the statement saying that you could make better music. If you're claiming something like this, then you have to prove it. Otherwise you just need to shut your mouth and not listen to System of a down.
 
Well I finally got around to get SOADs new CD. I like it but I think "Toxicity" was better but there are some songs I like. I really like "Lost In Hollywood".
