Sure, they incorporate prog elements in their music, and they are definitely unique, but they aren't a prog band.

Sounds like teenage trash to me, as well as political propaganda. Lies lies lies.

Quite dreadful music in my opinion.  So what, every one of their songs has soft melodic parts and then suddenly switches to poltical rambling and shouting.  Not that I ever like a "Is this prog?" conversation to begin with, but for my money, prog is much more complex and deep than the dribble System of a Down releases. 

Unique?  Kind of... 

Original? In some ways (although the whole shouting angst, "I'm pissed off" trend among hard rock these days is totally cliche)...

Prog?  No.  Just because their 4 minute songs have distinct parts that contrast each other, that doesn't qualify as progressive.  If SoaD is prog, then Metallica must be too.  And then we go on the evil cycle of classifying any band that has variety or originality as "prog rock."  No, the "prog" classification is much more specialized.  But hey, most prog bands don't even like to be classified as prog.

I say their first three albums are generally not prog (although they contain a few proggy moments), but their two newest (Mezmerize and Hypnotize) are, in my opinion, at least prog related, if not prog metal. Just look at songs like Vicinity of Obcenity, Question!, Revenga, Radio/Video, Old School Hollywood, and This Cocaine Makes Me Feel Like I'm On This Song. They're all definately prog with little to no poltitcal lyrics.
