I love System, they are (possibly, yet probably) my favorite band. I love them.

Their sound is great, but also the meaning behind their songs. If you listen closely enough, they all have signifigant meanings, such as Hypnotize and Holy Mountains.

Their older albums are great, and mostly better, but there are a few exceptions on the new CDs, such as "Lonely Day", "Lost in Hollywood", and "Holy Mountains".

They are a great band.

Lonely Day is the most horrendous thing I've ever heard by any metal band.

Well thats cool man, you are entitled to your own oppinion...

The rest of the Hypnotize album is alright though. Mezmerize and everything before it is great. Toxicity is my personal favourite, chiefly because of "Forest".

Cemetary Drive · 03-21-2006, 02:57 PM

DUDE, I HEAR YA MAN!!!!!!!!!!

I was obsessed with Forest for the longest time and still to this day will find myself jammin it on my guitar. Chop Suey always gets me too, I love it, I think that Toxicity was one of the better CDs if not the best from them.

About Lonely Day: I see that you said that you didn't like that one but the rest of the CD (Which was all metal anyways) was great. Lonely Day wasn't meant to be a metal song, so you can't really bash on them for that, its just like....UGHH, I wish I could put this into words, but like, all of their songs on the Hypnotize CD were pretty much Rock/Metal, but when one song comes along that wasn't meant to have that kind of sound, you can't criticize the band, ya know?

I don't know, I'm sick and hallucinating, haha.

Yeah, I think its the same with Lost in Hollywood on Mesmerize. It was super soft. But I still liked it.

Cemetary Drive · 03-21-2006, 05:07 PM

yea, exactly, but it was still a kick ass song. I love all their songs, their just a great band.

What else, other thoughts on them??

tdoc210 · 03-21-2006, 05:54 PM

well they need to stop insulting the militay with their blanket assaults not everyone in the military is a cold blooded killer

Cemetary Drive · 03-21-2006, 10:30 PM

Noone ever said they were insulting the military, they are against war and all yea and want to provent Genocide because it is horrific, but their not insulting the military in any way that I see......

Do you have an example?

There they were in a pile. A pile of little arms. And I remember... I... I... I cried. I wept like some grandmother. I wanted to tear my teeth out. I didn't know what I wanted to do. And I want to remember it. I never want to forget it. I never want to forget. And then I realized... like I was shot... like I was shot with a diamond... a diamond bullet right through my forehead. And I thought: My God... the genius of that.
