Fair enough I just hate that melody, those robot vocals, everything... ugh

Let's talk about Question! what a tune that is.

Question! is one of those song styles I really wish SOAD would have done more with.

Among the best choruses I've ever heard, probably

Man Mezmerise/Hypnotize could've easily lived up to the previous three albums if they'd just made it one album with a tracklist like this:



Soldier Side (Intro)

BYOB

Hypnotize

Revenga

Cigaro

Holy Mountains

Vicinity of Obscenity

Radio/Video

Cocaine

She's Like Heroin

Violent Pornography

Question!

Lonely Day

Soldier Side

Lost in Hollywood



Not necessarily in that order but you know

If these guys could commit to a tour, maybe then we could start thinking about a new album. Those

festivals they did back in 2012 don't really hint at any staying power to me. Supposedly they are

back from the hiatus, but they only played one show in the states for 2013, so what the fuck? It's

all up to Serj. He has the final say on the band's future.

I've heard Serj's solo albums and Scars on Broadway were pretty meh (haven't checked for myself though) so who knows what a new album would be like anyway?

Fuck Scars on Broadway. That band is shit. Serj's solo stuff is hit or miss.

you have to admit they're a pretty juvenile band

Yeah I'm not denying that but that's why I love them

Songs like BYOB and Chop Suey! will always make me feel 12 and I love that

Also they have a great ability to go from juvenile songs to serious, emotional songs within the space of one album (Vicinity of Obscenity/She's Like Heroin compared to Lonely Day/Soldier Side is a good example) and I love that too

They normally have something to say, but the way in which they say it is always ridiculously over the top. I can see how some would consider it juvenile, but I see it more as absurd in style. And I'm pretty sure these guys are a bit more self aware than people give them credit for. Their culture (from what I can tell) is pretty removed from most American culture and the ridiculousness that they put out is a mirror of what they see.



And you know it's possible that's all bullshit, but that's the way I perceive it and that's the great thing about art. It's all about how you perceive it.

I agree with you most of the time bro they usually have a genuine message and you can tell that they're very emotionally motivated by it (except maybe on Hypnotize)

but then you have songs like Bounce which are just purely for fun
