What song do you prefer between Roulette and Spiders?..just a general question..

[QUOTE=laba]What song do you prefer between Roulette and Spiders?..just a general question..[/QUOTE]
I've only heard Roulette once, long ago, so I couldn't say. I know how the guitar goes though (a friend taught me) so I'd say Roulette > Spiders. Both are awesome songs though.

Kinda different songs. I'd prefer Spiders, but Roullette's nice and "mellow".

OMG JOHN DOLMAYAN WHAT A BLOODY DRUMMMER !!! LIKE HES SOOOO GOOD!!!THAT ALSO WITH NO DOUBLE BASS:p

Whatever, n00b. He does have a double bass. But he is really good, unlike the vast majority of current heavy drummers, he knows how to gooi a more [I]rustig[/I] (chill) groove (as opposed to eighth notes on the bass with random cymbals on top).

John does have a double bass actually :thumb:

Well that was pretty random, but on the topic of John, I think he is great, He has got some wicked stuff and he is one of my Favourite Drummers.

so u r wrong! haha jk. well u r right in them being awesome, but hands down, spiders wins

yeah i prefer spiders to roulette.

I love the bass on spiders...farly simple yet it sounds so good

[QUOTE=The Crimson]OMG YES, I 100% agree with you. P.L.U.C.K. is my favorite song ever by SOAD. I tell people who love system about that song...and they just stare at me blankly.


Soil, P.L.U.C.K., Spiders, Suggestions....hell the whole first cd is amazing.[/QUOTE]

P.L.U.C.K is all that SOAD is about. The theme of genocide, the psycho fast parts, the clean and catchy riff and the mellowed out part (which gets me everytime).

It's definitely their best track.

I really don't know what it is about the first CD, but yes there is something there that keeps me hooked on it. Everytime I listen to it I feel like I've had an experience similar to a Tool or Opeth album, which is saying something.

And PEEPHOLE!

Now a question; what's the story behind Soil? I know they were called Soil before System of a Down so... was Soil recorded back then, or at least written? It's just that the drumming, slappings of profanity and only slightly distorted guitar make it seem more punkish and demo-ish. And I think the production is different.

When they where soil they didnt write any songs that are now assosiated with SOAD.
Soil mainly just jammed and never recorded any real songs.

Soil was written around 96-97, Recorded as a demo in 97 and Recorded on the album in 98 :thumb:

I actually went to the CD store today and listened to STA. Roulette pwns Spiders.

^ I say otherwise. Spiders > Roulette for me. Both are awesome songs though.

What songs do you love Serj's Voice best in?
What songs do you appreciate Daron's vocals in?

For Serj, I am loving ATWA right now, it shows his range well.

Roulette, for me, doesn't have the power of Spiders. Spiders has one of the greatest riffs ever.

I love Serj's vocals best in Suggestions, and I only really like Daron's singing in P.L.U.C.K.

Everyone is talking P.L.U.C.K. but I haven't heard it. (My SOAD mp3 collection is highly disorganized and scattered.) As far as Serj is concerned, ATWA is quite good for showing his range off and all that but I love his part in Deer Dance. As for Daron, I'm loving Lost In Hollywood and the outro to Aerials.

So... The album leaked! :thumb:

:D

Link NOW.

i think its on mtv.com

...Torrent.

My ISP blocks p2p.

:upset: x10^23

Lolz, Viva la old style soad.

I saw the video of Hypnotize yesterday. It was the first time I heard the song. And I find it to be pretty ordinary. SOAD have done a lot better IMO.

Yeah the single is pants. The album is not.

Haven't had enough time to absorb it. I've only span it once.

It has more variation than mesmerize. But i don't know, i loved some moments of mesmerize...BYOB, Question!, Revenga, Sad Statue, Lost in hollywood.

I think it will satisfy most fans. Attack is very heavy reminiscent of s/t, as is vicinity of obscenity. Whereas Hypnotize and lonley day are more of a mesmerize style.

Darron again plays a big part in the singing. But i'm kind of used to his voice now so t doesn't bother me as much. Serj screams quite a bit which is good. I suppose you'll all ahev to see for yourself. It's on torrentspy if you want it. I would upload but it's not allowed anymore :-/

I rather Serj's singing then Darron. I mean it was okay when he sang every now and then but now its almost always.

Well its good then that it doesnt sound to much like Mezmorize. Its also good that theres some reflections from their first album. Their self titled is probably their best to me.

Toxicity is their best, but i can't put my finger on why. In an interview in Kerrang! (yeah sh!t we know) Darron says he is singing because it's difficult to let serj sing about his feelings, Darron feels he needs to sing them.

I will give it another listen later and report back with an updated opinion.

About 40 minuites I think :thumb:

Great album, Miles better than Mezmerize.

[QUOTE=cigaro88]how long is hypnotize?[/QUOTE]
39:46

[QUOTE=Skit]Great album, Miles better than Mezmerize.[/QUOTE]
Definately, not as good as Toxicity or there self titled though.

The new album is pretty good so far.

i havent heard anything off of Hypnotize yet.....and is it even out yet, i thought it came out like November 21 or 22

It's been leaked.

[QUOTE=Jake]not as good as Toxicity or there self titled though.[/QUOTE]

Im not sure, Certainly the whole album isnt, But some odd songs are as good if not better......

[QUOTE=Jake]It's been leaked.[/QUOTE]
ah...that explains it.

Dude, this album ROCKS!!!

Vicinity of Obcenity, Lonely Day, She's Like Heroin, and Tentative are the best songs, imo. Way better than Mezmerize.

I new album is really great. There is not a bad song on it.

Hypnotize is definetely better than mesmerize. Better than all soad albums except toxicity. Toxicity is still their number 1 imo.

Hypnotize has lots of clean acoustic guitar work though.

Someone help me with the chorus to tentative..

We're going down in a spiral [what are these words?]

We're going down in a spiral putter ground? Or something like that.
