I really don't know what to say about System (I don't like how SOAD looks... makes me think of soap). There is this originality to their sound... specifically the lyrics. If you think about it, there aren't really that many words to each song, and what is there is generally repeated a lot... But for some reason it works well, sounds good and somehow conveys a lot of things at once. I'm not even sure how that happens, but it does.

Toxicity was the best CD of that year for me. I bought it twice, just to get that stupid DVD... Which was SO disappointing. They had 3 live tracks, and while it was cool to see the band... they totally polished up the recording so that it practically sounds like it was done in a studio. You can't even hear the crowd until the end.

Forest isn't even remotely weird compared to the other songs on the CD... like Bounce, X and Jet Pilot. Their S/T is even more bizarre. They are one of my favorite bands though :).

The only thing that is annoying is that the only way to get all their tracks is to buy imports... which is getting more and more common with every band. I hate paying 10 to 15 bucks for a single.

Ugh, what an absolute HORRID band..... If there was anyone who could get by in the music industry with NO talent what-so-ever, it would be System of a Down. Not only doesn;t their band name make no sense, most of their music all sounds the same and rarely has no harmony. The lead singer can't sing worth a donkey's a$s. I mean, it's horrid. Absolutely disgusting to even listen to him. He probably has the most annoying voice in all music. Anyone that respects the talent of singing would turn in their grave hearing this guy attempt to sing. It's more like my cat throwing up a hairball.... blah.... you'll never see me buying or downloading any of that crap..... Ofcourse all my friends like them.... But, what do they know... :p

I really like System of a Down, and for that reason it is usually one of the 6 CDs in my car changer. Though I have found that I can only listen to their music when I'm [i]really[/i] wired or really mad, otherwise it just sounds like a bunch of annoying shouting :drunk:

Basically, I like their stuff because it's energetic and there's really not much mainstream music like what they play. They're not my favorite band, but I definitely appreciate them :)[/color]

Well I didn't say they were the only band. I just said their name doesn't make sense. There's plent of bands who have names that don't make sense..... like... Dir en grey.... lol

[COLOR=darkblue]They say they're political...but eh...their lyrics are really open to one's interpretation...given that you can acutally understand what the lead singer is saying. Aside from that, they have a really unique style and if it weren't for Serj's "drill instructor" voice...it might have been better.

I think they're a good band though...to get rid of stress and for a good laugh.[/COLOR]

System of a Down is awesome. I got it while I was present-shopping for a friend's birthday, and thought I'd go ahead and get one for myself too :D. I first heard it and didn't like it much, but now I love listening to it, it just took some getting used to it is all. prolly the only song I don't care for too much off of the CD is Needles, but I like everything else. it's definitely one of my favorite CD's.

I'm all for freedom of speech TN, but why do you have to post if all you're doing is bringing SOAD down?

Anyway, I like system of a down. I bought Toxicity, still like Chop Suey. :)

This topic has to have some life to it. I mean, it's pretty boring when all a topic is is people saying that System of a Down is good. I mean, not only is that sickening to hear (for me), it's boring and repeatitive. Naturally there is going to be someone who is not going to agree.... and it's just convienent that it's me :) Plus, all should know by now I like to voice my opinion, whether it negative or possitive.

Hey hey!! I hate them too! I hate them too!

Yeah, anyway, I heard "Sugar" a long time ago and man... I couldn't finish the song, it was so horrible.

And it's not really that hard to go from singing quietly to screaming. What IS hard is going from a normal singing voice into falsetto...
