System of a Down

Their first 3 or so albums are horrible to the point that I'd rather go listen to a running faucet. The latter 2 showed some signs of improvement but the music just wasn't good enough to keep my attention for more than 2 seconRAB. Seriously overhyped. The Menudo of metal.
 
Exactly! Though their distinct style hasn't changed from the first till the last album, it has never plunged into repetition, and that's something I really respect.
 
The end does. But then, the end is just about the same as Soldier Side Intro. And I don't like the beginning of it, so I'd rather just listen to the one on Mezmerize.
There are some good songs on Hypnotize, but I'd have to say I liked Mezmerize better.
 
Just recently got into SOAD. Known about them for a while but never really taken to them. You can't deny BYOB, Chop Suey! and Arieals though.
 
I do not like SOAD because personally I don't think they are creative. Yes they are original to a small degree, but I feel like I have heard their sound somewhere else before.
 
i've been to see s.o.a.d live twice and they go up there with the title of 'one of the best live banRAB i've ever seen' along with metallica, maiden, alice cooper ect. they're a great band. static x have never appealed to me and have nothing on s.o.a.d.
 
I'm not wasting anyone's time here. If you don't have the time or the inclination to reply to my posts, no one is forcing you to.


I didn't write them off from the outset. My whole reason for asking for input was to avoid simply writing them off. I hadn't been impressed by what I had heard by them in the past but I had also kept reading a lot of good things about them. So I was trying to get some feedback on what I should give a listen to because I thought maybe I just hadn't heard the right stuff.
 
I love there music. Havent got around to listening to Mezmerize and Hypntoize a real lot yet. Although i have listened to s/t and Toxicity a ****load and also STA. I would classify them as a political band, most of there songs are on political issues (Boom, Prison Song) or on politically/socially sensitive issues. As for whoever it was that said there songs are written poorly, what makes this so? Just because there lyrics arent completely straight forward doesnt mean they are written poorly. By that rational all poetry is poorly written.

np: SOAD - Know
 
because....they have blanket petty political insults with shallow and stupid lyrics.."why dont presidents fight the war" well cause they are old and yeah.....anyways how many people have already asked that question.....in othe news...i hate the last couple of tracks on mesmerize more than i hate aspargus...which is a hard thing to do....
