Toxicity [PA] [Limited] by System of a Down

Pros: Very original! Simple yet thought-provoking genre defying music.
Cons: Lacks musical variety and depth.

System Of A Down is one strange band. And I don't just mean musically. All it took for them to be given the not so coveted "nu-metal" label was to have a hit single (Sugar off their 1998 self-titled debut) and almost accidentally gain a ton ...

Pros: great tracks.brilliant lyrics. political engagement.
Cons: The cover: What the heck?? How lame can you get?

System of a Down formed in 1996 in Los Angeles. It is the complex, explosive
and subtle mix of four Armenian guys: Serj Tankian (vocals), Daron Malakian
(guitars), Shavo Odadjian (bass) and John Dolmayan (drums). In 1998, SOAD
...

Pros: definite evolution in their sound, chop suey is a great song
Cons: a few throw-away songs

Three years after screaming their way onto the music scene with their self-titled debut, System of a ...

Pros: Good vocals, not a horrible band (For Nu Metal)
Cons: Bad lyrics, Lyrical topics can blow.

The song Chop Suey! has been extremely influential in gaining my taste in music. However, during the height of this album’s popularity, I never purchased it. Since then, my tastes have expanded into heavier forms, and I’d never really considered ...

Pros: Toxicity is heavier, prettier, and more feral than their debut.
Cons: I'm trying hard to find a flaw, and I can't.

Armenian-American madmen System Of A Down's self-titled debut was something to behold. Daron Malakian's guitar was equally happy spitting out weird, quirky sparks and speedy, steel-heavy riff emissions. Bassist Shavo Odadjian and drummer John Dolmayan...

Pros: Irrestibly catchy, manic music. Sound ranges from brutal to beautiful.
Cons: The only con is the much too brief length of the album (30 mins).

It is often said that a band have their whole lives to write their debut albums and only a few measley months to record the follow-up. Because of this, many bands succumb to the dreaded sophomore slump and let their fans down with a disappointing second...

Pros: A Sheer Powerhouse of an album
Cons: Not the debut, which couldn't be caught anyway

System of a down hold claim to being the best Armenian-Americans in the music industry. As far as I know they are the only Armenian-Americans, but maybe i'm under-informed.

Whatever the case Toxicity is a very good...

Pros: Great sound, thoughtful lyrics, it's System of a Down
Cons: Ha! There aren't any!

It all began one day a few weeks ago when I was over at a friend's house. We were watching MTV (blaaaaah) and Carson Daly was as normal talking his precious head off, telling the masses what's now cool to listen to. Then...something marvelous and amazing...

Pros: Million dollar production
Cons: One dollar talent

I honestly enjoyed their first major label album. Not every song, but enough to be looking forward t ...

Pros: Aggressive, raw, and kicks you in your a-- albums!
Cons: Maybe an acquired taste for some.

Being an "old school" fan of real bands and music, System of a Down delivers real and true earcandy; one only has to listen to their first 1998 album to know that this band had something special. Their sophomore effect in no way disappoints but rather...

Pros: Great album. The more I listen to it the more I like it.
Cons: none.

My 2 favorite Radio Stations (WSOU & K-ROCK) have been saying that this will be one of the best albums ever made, so when it came out (September 4) I went to Sam Goody in the mall and got my hands on one, before anyone else did.

I heared...

Pros: Different from original, Different styles of music.
Cons: Limited Edition (Red Cover, with bonus tracks) was only available for a short while.

System of a Down's self titled CD changed the way of music in 1998. Since I first heard my first System of a Down songs I was hooked on the band. When I heard that they were releasing a new CD, I was hoping it would be at least half as good as the...

Pros: great music, good creative force behind it
Cons: none i can think of

I thought that System of a down's original album was the best album ever written and it couldnt be i ...

Pros: Every song is unbelieveable.
Cons: Only 44 minutes long.

System of a Down's newly released album "Toxicity" hit stores on September 4th. I purchased the CD, at 11:30 PM September 3rd, because of the hype. I wasnt a crazy System of a Down CD, but their single from the CD "Chop Suey!: was particuarly good. I...
