They're nice, but the best SoaD album for me is still Toxicity. ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/users/Mike" rel="nofollow">Recently listened to:

| 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. ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/users/Mike" rel="nofollow">Recently listened to:

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. ------------- http://www.myspace.com/altaic" rel="nofollow - http://www.myspace.com/altaic ALTAIC "Oceans Down You'll Lie" coming soon |

| 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!

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? |

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. http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31725 |

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. ------------- www.last.fm/user/ThisCenotaph

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......

I think they are "pop" in their own unique way I like all their works, I am not the biggest fan though |

I love them. One of my favorite modern bands. I own Mezmerize and Hypnotize and have heard all their other ones (except their first one, which is on hold for me at my library right now). Hypnotize is my favorite. My least favorite is Toxicity, but there's still a few good songs on it. The one thing I'm annoyed with is how all of their albums are around 40 minutes (half of what they could have put on there). ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/kingofbizzare/?chartstyle=asimpleblue5">
