a week ago today i saw system of a down again ( i saw them 3 years ago) and it was the best gig i have ever been to. i was at the front row in the middle right below serj and i suddenly realised how amazing the band truly was. i find everything right about them. that little hint of coolness. that heaviness without making your brain bleed. the ability to be able to still play something as beautiful as lost in hollywood. that vatiety in what they do. the slightly eastern rhythm. the hint of politics. that quirkiness that noone else seems to get right without appearing to be saying "we're wacky us" their the one band that i haven't stopped liking since i first heard chop suey.

i find their new album a good progression. people may disagree with me. but it's more refined than their previous albums.

so what do other people think?
