[QUOTE=Skit]I dont know what everyones problem with mezmerize is just because they changed there style alittle..[/QUOTE]



I like it alot. It was way better than Steal This Album.

[QUOTE=YDload]Of course it's a metaphor. Talkin' about Freud and how some people have obsessions with phallic objects.

(i.e. people who smoke cigars have small penises :))

But just because I understand the song doesn't mean I have to really like it. It's okay but it's a bit too abrasive when compared with the rest of the album.[/QUOTE]
I thought it had to do with America basically doing what they want because they have the firepower (or the ****).

Best song on the album has to be Question! because it's like no other song they've done and is emotional, techincal (in the sense of the time signature), and so intense.

I suppose what Cigaro means is being cool, and doing what you want.

[QUOTE=Mr. Hankie]Mezmerize is their worst album so far.

1. Toxicity
2. STA
3. S/T
4. Mezmerize[/QUOTE]

i think your the only person who doesnt think the S/T is their best album... and STA their second best. i dont know about u kid..but whatever.. were all held to our own opinion i guess

[QUOTE=westyd1]Everyone I talk to that doesnt really know SoaD say that Cigaro is a stupid song cos of the lyrics. They dont realise that i is a metaphore which is quite simple to work out really. I don't really like the song and thik it is the worst on the album but I think that only because it was the only song off the new album I could get for ages so I played it to death and now it just annoys me.[/QUOTE]

Thats half the reason I don't like it, but I guess it's just a general fact, if you overplay songs, you like them less. I hope you didn't think I thought Daron was talking about his actual genitalia in the song. Generally speaking, if you don't get what he's talking about on the first listen, then SOAD isn't the band for you.

same with me.. overplayed song ..

[QUOTE=letmypeopleho]Best song on the album has to be Question! because it's like no other song they've done and is emotional, techincal (in the sense of the time signature), and so intense.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, it's definitely my favorite on that album. Nothing like it :)

1.radio/video
2.science
3.sugar
4.war
5.prison song
6.psycho
7.byob
8.f**k the system
9.snowblind
10.johnny

[QUOTE=XI_SYSTEM_IX]he is like the best bassist out there,and he brings soo much energy to the shows[/QUOTE]
please rethink this, its very naive to suggest that.

[QUOTE=XI_SYSTEM_IX]ya ok so you can play his bass lines but can you put all the energy and heart into playin them like him.the is like the best bassist out there,and he brings soo much energy to the shows[/QUOTE]
Shavo is a very average bass player he dosent play anything really hard or technical. The stuff he creates though sound good which is why everyone credits him with being a good player...he creates simple stuff the fits in good with the rest of the tracks.

Shavo is definately NOT the best bassist out there...

What he plays goes good with the music, though...thats what matters most, and he pulls that off perfectly.

I like Shavo but there's no way he's one of the best bassists there is. I didn't even include him in my own top 100 bassists list, just because I had to set an example and not simply nominate bassists from all my favorite bands.

1. Question!
2. Sugar
3. Soil
4. Needles
5. ATWA
6. Highway Song
7. Radio/Video
8. Sad Statue
9. Suggestions
10. P.L.U.C.K.

There's a top ten list I guess.

Why does it always say that Mezmerize is their 3rd album when its there 4th?

[QUOTE=systemofakorn]Why does it always say that Mezmerize is their 3rd album when its there 4th?[/QUOTE]
What? can you explain what you mean.

[QUOTE=systemofakorn]Why does it always say that Mezmerize is their 3rd album when its there 4th?[/QUOTE]

well, "it" must not be counting STA as an official album of theirs i guess.

Spiders
Atwa
Question!
Science
Aerials
Needles
Radio/Video
Sugar
X
Forest

I almost want to include Chopsuey! just for the intro...but after that it really goes downhill.

Do you mean were i said
1.S/T
2.Toxicity
3.Mezmerize
4.STA
...because if thats what you meant we were rating the albums from our favorite to least favorite.

"Get ready to rock in this System of a Down black t-shirt. It was created to promote the band’s latest album, Mezmerize. This is their third official full-length album and it has been called "ambitious," "jagged," and "startling" by critics everywhere." This is from a Sam Goody promotion, and I've seen it called the third album before this too....

Maybe they didnt count STA as a "offical" album because it was a collection of previously unreleased tracks...

Oh, I never knew that about STA. Yea I guess that's probably why. Thanks
