Indica Posted December 30, 2005 Author Share Posted December 30, 2005 QUOTE (Oberon @ Dec 29 2005, 07:40 PM) My brother bought Mezmerize and Toxicity a few days ago. Mezmerize is very good -- haven't had the time to listen to the other one. I like them both but I like Toxicity a little better. But they both are awesome CD's.

Melll Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Mesmerize/Hypnotize were my albums of the year. Definately. Lost In Hollywood being my favourite track. I've also seen SOAD three times, the last time at Manchester Arena in 2005, and they're one of the most startlingly intense bands I've ever seen, by turns both amazing and hilarious, but they certainly hold the attention live. I also saw them blow Metallica off the stage at Leeds Festival 2003, and that was no mean feat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Zombie was salty because they let S.O.A.D. headline the year when Ozzy was in the hospital with Sharon. Ozzy made the right choice for sure. Sorry Robbie, your band rocks but they shouldn't headline over S.O.A.D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 System of a Down are OK and certainly have a unique sound. I must say a lot of their songs pass me by, all a bit too manic and shouty, but they have their good moments, and the drummer is pretty good.

thestand Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 That's what I love though, is they aren't that low, angry, snarling singing that plagues most of today's metal. His voice evens everything out in their music. I was actually thinking about this last night, but I thought of Primus first. If Les Claypool's voice was lower, it would just be frightening ("So I kissed 'im up side the cranium with an aluminum baseball bat, MY NAME IS MUD!!!"). I think that's why I like SOAD, it's metal that I can feel fine listening to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rocinante Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 They're okay, leaning towards the bad end of the musical spectrum. That "Lonely Day" song is a piece of $#!+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prog.fusion Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 i like the first 2 albums, anything after that, i felt they recognized their formula and just used too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormtron Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 I love the first two albums. Serj rules, but Daron ruined the new shit. He sounds like he should be in an emo band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mars_volta Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 SOAD is a pretty good band. different metal style thats for sure. but very clean and tight. ive seen them live a couple times and the singer is extremely boring to watch. also, the gov bashing does get old.

Roddy Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 SOAD are about the 478th best Heavy band in the world today.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hector Gilbert Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Their self-titled album is great and remains one of my favourite alternative rock albums of the 90s. Toxicity is enjoyable, but I find that the way the songs were arranged and presented is more memorable than the actual compositions. Mezmerize is OK. The other two albums I don't care for, but considering that they were more or less out-takes compilations I'd let them off for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeduck Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 I saw them do a version of Black Sabbath's Snowblind on youtube which I thought was speeded up and crap. The comments cracked me up though, there seems more idiots per head on youtube than anywhere else based on the comments section... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedoorsdk Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Mesmerize/Hyponotize was a damn fine double album, even if they did split it up. I'm attracted to their quirky sense of melody, and I think they are a hell of a band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like SOAD....not as much as I used to....I was in a SOAD cover band...as the drummer....so I think I just got extremely tired of their music...haven't listened to their stuff until M/H came out...and now I enjoy them again. Good band for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
