System of a Down

SOAD are a talented band that unfortunately got pigeonholed with the nu metal crowd, which even though I'm not a SOAD fan, really annoys me. So it's easy to get laughed at for liking SOAD, cuz it's just like liking Limp Bizkit amirite? Unfortunately that's what a lot of people think.
 
It's pretty obvious that Daron was the musical force behind System. That's why I thought it sounded a lot more like System, even if it is more rock-oriented. I hope you noticed that he actually used traditional rock arrangements on this album rather than the schismatic elements that System pioneered.

My personal favorite tracks: Stoner-Hate, Enemy, 3005. I actually abhor the single at the end though...



I'm pretty sure the critics were almost as biased. Rolling Stone called them "an absurdist blast of political rage" and other critics much, much worse. And the "nu-metal" label is just an insult, a pure fucking insult. It is absolutely retarded to compare them to Korn, Limp Bizkit, Slipknot, etc. when they sound more like thrash metal than anything else. I wish they wouldn't have done Ozzfest all those years so they wouldn't get compared to all the mindless bilge that idiots mistake for metal. I don't mind that people dislike them, but it's stupid to hate them because they were erabraced by the wrong crowd. Nevermind the fact that System has some of the best songwriting, talented lyricists and musicians, and one of the best modern drummers ever.
 
acctually crowquill you're dead wrong, I'm not sayign that static X isn't better than SOAD but if you look at what he said "SOAD suck...badly" hes got his own opinion but i dont see him making 5 successful albums? so he can say he dislikes them all he wants but if he says they suck well he's a durabass i understand there's plenty of reasons for static x to be better but SOAD don't suck, nor does any other successful band.
 
they had said that they were going on a break for probably at least 3 years as serj was focusing on his solo stuff and daron and john are doing scars on broadway. both efforts have a system element to it. both are pretty good but i can't wait to see what they put out when they come back
 
Meh, cigaro in my thoughts has absolutely no meaning as quite a few of System's songs but I am still a massive fan, It's just a song you're meant to sit back, relax and laugh your f**kin ass off :D :D
 
Overrated? Who rates him highly? I don't think he's bad, but he doesn't make any list of mine.

And to the clowns who rated STA as a real album should do their homework.
 
Sexy_drug. its FraNces the mute, with an N in. yeah STA was by far the weakest album. I haven't heard much of mezmerise, but i like what i have heard more that STA.
 
You are bitching about how somebody wrote the word you're. If thats the best fight you can come with in making fun of the way he writes, then you have no hope of functioning in the real world. You're fighting a war you will not win if you fight about that. Your giving an english lesson out for goRAB sake....:usehead: So think before you fight back, and dont think about correcting any mistakes in this, becasue if you do, you will just be making an even bigger fool out of yourself.
 
Yes I did just make it up. I consider rock a softer metal and seeing that soad can't be called metal anymore. It's more like rock.
And what you're saying about rock is music and has melody... well wat about metal metal is music any kind of metal is music so I'm guessing doom metal is melodic as well?

You might wanna think through before you post something like that.
