    Default system of a down

    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?

    System of a Down is one of my favourite bands. I love them. Serj's voice is great and their songs can funny or serious or weird, but they're usual always awesome.

    My favourite CDs go in the following order

    Self Titled, Steal this Album!, Mezmerize, Toxicity

    But they're all good.

    Although I don't listen to them much now, they are my favourite band. Unlike all the other bands I've listen to, I still like them even though I've been a fan of them for a while and I like the majority of their songs. Although, I was kinda disapointed with Steal this Album.

    Their Self-titled album is good.
    Steal this album is ok.
    Toxicity and Mezmerise are crap.

    Yeah, I can't complain about SoaD, though I'm not hugely taken with Mesmerize. I love Serj's voice but I'm glad on Mez. that Daron got a chance to sing, because I think his voice is bloody brilliant.

    Pretty much all of their albums have some classic songs though. I think I like Toxicity the most, then SoaD, then Steal This Album (But only very slightly behind.).

    Craig's got the right idea--

    SOAD is easy to be your favorite band without having to listen to them all the time.

    I thought mezmerize was very nice.

    I've liked there stuff for a while. Not my favorite band, but I like to listen to a lot of their songs. Like was said, they've got a lot of stuff going on in their music.

    Suger is an awesome song. Other than that, they're okay. But that song is their greatest in my ears.

    I like them, they're pretty good, I've liked every song I've heared from them, but I don't own any albums, so I can't judge there.
