Guest EQ Report post Posted January 31, 2003 They're one of the only bands I can think of right now that can make the following lyrics sound good: What a splendid pie, Pizza-pizza pie, Every minute, every second, Buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, What a splendid pie, Pizza-pizza pie, Every minute, every second, Buy, buy, buy, buy, buy. Pepperoni and green peppers Mushrooms, olive, chives, Pepperoni and green peppers Mushrooms, olive, chives. ~System of a Down - Chic N Stu Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Edwin MacPhisto Report post Posted January 31, 2003 I was just having a discussion about that song over a late dinner. Frightening synergy there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted January 31, 2003 I thought it was terrible. More of the same recycled stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zetterberg is God 0 Report post Posted January 31, 2003 I thought Steal This Album was good stuff. Nothing terrible, and some very good songs(the aforementioned Chic N Stu, Innervision, I-E-A-I-A-I-O, Streamline.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest saturnmark4life Report post Posted February 1, 2003 I don't think they've ever done anything 'terrible'. I'm bored of them, and haven't heard 'steal this' but I'm not shitting myself with excitement over doing so. Great first album, good follow-up, but yeah it all sounds the same after a while.

Guest Youth N Asia Report post Posted February 1, 2003 Sounds too much like Cookie Monster rock to me, too many of these bands sound the same and none of them seem to do anything for me. Plus I hate artists that won't shut up about their "cause" and whatnot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Scarlet Pimpernel Report post Posted February 2, 2003 I thought it was criminal that Metal Hammer made Toxicity the 3rd greatest metal album of all time, in their top 100. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest saturnmark4life Report post Posted February 2, 2003 Yeah, but to be fair to em it was voted for by the morons that constitute the public. It wasn't 'kerrang' bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest CoreyLazarus416 Report post Posted February 2, 2003 I find it funny how far Metal Hammer has fallen from being a respectable metal mag. System Of A Down is not metal at all. Ah, Rip...Unrestrained...... I dig SOAD, because while it sounds the same it also sounds incredible unique. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted February 2, 2003 They get old way too quickly. The new album is just completely uninspired. Granted, it's a bunch of b-sides and shit that didn't make Toxicity, but if they weren't good enough to release once, why in the fuck would they compile all those songs together and sell it, other than to make a buck?

Guest redbaron51 Report post Posted February 3, 2003 face it... if you don't release another album by the next year, in today's music, you are not popular. You must shove shitless albums every year to stay popular, or be forgotten.... and SOAD is the new korn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted February 3, 2003 They're better than Korn...but I can see the comparison. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest PlatypusFool Report post Posted February 5, 2003 I like everything SOAD have done so far, the first album was very good, and so was Toxicity, in a slightly different, more poppier (not necessarily worse) way, but they need to evolve in a meaningful way on the next record. I believe they have the potential to be the Metallica of 'nu' metal, and outlast the scene by constantly evolving, but if they don't, they will just be another Korn.

Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted February 5, 2003 Metallica constantly evolving? They've got two identifiable sounds they've used over (if I'm counting correctly) seven albums in what? Almost twenty years now? I didn't count Garage Days or S&M. That's hardly evolving. Much of their fanbase still thinks they're the same band that put out Kill 'Em All through ...And Justice For All, and the ones that aren't in denial have turned on them for the most part. Black Album through Reload saw them completely abandon the sound that got them where they are in favor of extra studio gloss and lazier songwriting. They've been resting on the laurels of their first few releases for the past ten years or so, which is the opposite of evolving, in my opinion. Then again I'm kind of biased. I'll just summarize with "They suck." Edit: Korn is really the Metallica of nu metal, if you think about it. Famous for a couple early releases, then totally changed their sound for the worse later in their careers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
