System of a Down

NumberNineDream · 01-16-2010, 05:30 AM

^ Woaw, there's no track on that album I can't head bang joyfully on. From Attack, Dreaming, Kill Rock n Roll, Tentative, Holy mountains and finally Soldier Side ... And I don't think we can separate them as they were obviously done to be treated as one. From the very similar album cover artwork, and Soldier side being the Intro and ending track of the double... I think they only sold them separately for some marketing purposes.

I don't know... I thing that Serj Tanikan's solo album was a lot better than Hypnotize...

If System of a Down ever wish to get back on my good side then they need to keep Daron as far away from a microphone as possible without him falling off the stage. I was really enjoying them in for a few years after Toxicity came out but then Hypnotize and Mesmerize came out and I just couldn't listen to them with Daron singing ever other bloody song. I don't mean to belittle the man, I think he's an incredibly competent guitar player, but his vocals sound like someone is raping my ear canal with a sandpaper condom.

i don't know if i can go as far as to say sandpaper condom...but that was definitely my sole criticism of that album. it was great when it was serj with some daron thrown in for some harmonizing but he seemed to be taking over as lead vocalist.

I think my favorite SOAD song is F*** the System, but it's tied with Lost in Hollywood, followed closely by BYOB. Cigaro makes me smile =)
Radio/Video is REALLY fun to listen to on repeat after a sleepless night. Try it xD.

Serj is definitely the better vocalist, for sure... one opf the reasons I loved his solo album so much, that powerful empassioned voice... amazing. As much as I love Hypnotize and Mezmerize, that's something sadly lacking... those awesomely punchy, powerful Serj vocals...
