Listening to their new album/s. They really are cuite okey don't you
think? I mean, perhaps not compared to the best prog-music, but for
being pop there really good!  Dont you think?

They're nice, but the best SoaD album for me is still Toxicity.

I don't care for Mezmerise and Hypnotize, but their other discs or pretty sweet, especially their self-titled debut (which is their best I think).

Their punk influences are obvious. I like how they mix the punk attitude with technical playing.

I definitely noted a DK influence, especially on the track "Stealing Society"
The 2 new albums are great and IMO they blow Toxicity out of the water. however, for me I think they will never top their self-titled debut album. It's brilliant.

I used to like 'em a bit, but then they released those albums
'HypnotiZe' and 'MeZmeriZe' that had such retarded names I totally
despise them now.

Well, I have enjoyed my first SOAD album, Mezmerize, so much that I made an online order for Toxicity yesterday... Can't wait!

They are fun. Not that deep, but fun. I liked their debut album the most.

It's too stupid to be good, but not stupid enough to be considered a joke.
I mean, c'mon. Why the z's? How can you take yourself serious if you do that?

The only song of System of a down I like a bit is that one with the
text "banana banana terracotta banana banana banana terracota terracota
pie" or something like that.

I like all of System's releases.
Maybe they use a little bit too much of "chugga-chugga" on their guitar
licks, but they are definitely musically intelligent and experimental.
Which is a lot of fun.

Go and listen to my music.

I enjoy some of the new stuff almost as much as the old (i.e. I like "Question!" quite a bit, because of it's 5/4 rhythym, and the way they vary their dynamics.
Just one question...
How many System Of A Down threads does there have to be anyway? It seems as if there's a new one every week.

I find System of a Down rather enjoyable. They are very creative too. I love the two new albums; there is a lot of stuff on there that is absolutely nuts, but I mean that in a good way.

Their self titled album is still the best. Then Toxicity. While I like there new ones, and it is an interesting change, I just don't think they're as good as the classics.
Although I am glad I DO enjoy they're new stuff, they're getting really popular and I was hoping they don't become a sellout pop band. Although some would say they have......
