Right, so the 'political rant' thing.Originally Posted by Lindy
My favorite System of a down song is "Chop Suey!". You should download it, Rye...
I've been wondering when you would make this thread Rye.
I don't have much money now, but I'm looking forward to getting the album when I do.
How's the ratio of Daron singing between this one, and Mesmerize?
XD That's true!! There are loads of albums that play more songs in one CD. Even CD-roms that are bought for CD burning can holds more minutes!! Longest I know is 80 minutes...Originally Posted by MecaKane
to join in this thread somehow, Ive listened to SOAD on a few occasions, I heard one called Violent pornography, I disliked it, but i past those flaming days, so Im happy everyone else likes there music ......

I certainly know I don't listen to music to rip apart and analyse the lyrics, I let the cadence of the words flow over me to incite and excite.
...Well, that was a little overly wordy.
It's on both. The one on Mezmerize is pretty short, the one on Hypnotize was a full song.Originally Posted by rubah
Crash: I love Chop Suey. I have it though. I have 66 System of a Down songs, every one that was released. I'm just missing B-sides and such.
Craig: I was worried I would miss my chance and be beaten to making the thread. xD
Had I ever said they sucked because I didn't like them? No.
I don't like them because they suck. Heh. They are honestly the same old nu-metal, aka, hard-rock (with some metal influences, but few), with Armenian musical <img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"> thrown in there. Woo. Big deal? I don't get the whole big deal over them, especially from the kids who claim them to be inventive.
It is honestly not that inventive at all to use folk elements in ones music, many bands have been doing it for years. However if you just like the sound, than I feel incredibly sorry for your ears.
Talentless little <img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif">s.
EDIT: Their lyrics are not deep either. They suck. Ass.
EDIT 2: Traitorfish, if you really don't like my posts I could care less, but get my gender correct. I am not solely into black metal you know >_> Long live Folk, Power, Gothic, Death, Prog, Thrash, Speed, Doom, and Post-black metal. Yeah, I know I am an ass. Live with it.

Rye, I've got about 66 now, how many more would there be after adding hypnotize? xD 78 ish? Chubbz seems to have more than me though xD
I like SoaD's lyrics, especially Forest, and Innervision. Sugar is funny and Spiders is even creepier with the words.
I doubt I'd like them quite as much if they didn't have Serj singing so much.
And now that I think about it(it must be too late, for me to be reflective like this) it sounds so perfectly ridiculous to think that *my* favorite band is called System of a Down. Now I know why those people were like ":OOOOOOOO" when I was in eighth grade:]
And as for good SoaD that you wouldn't think of going by their released albums, Marmalade (strangeland soundtrack) Metro (dracula 2000 soundtrack), Johnny (I have no friggin' clue) Goodbye Blue Sky (sadly this too gets turned into a political statement, but I love it)
And apparently I'll have to wait for my birthday to get this; my mother asked me to guess what my brother had already gotten for me. She was a bit miffed that I knew what it was xD just two weeks I guess
Yeah its symbolic its actually political as heck man.Originally Posted by Lindy
Beucase ordinary everyday people in America that are Republicans. Blindly followed behind Bush and believed every damn word that politician said. as if they were sheep and Bush is their shepherd.
Thats how I took it anyway lol because anytime we get critical of the president's and governments actions the conservative people would say your unpatriotic and cut you off right there,
