[QUOTE=tunafish_scumbag]Daron obviously has alot of creative control on the new album (he basically wrote everything and played bass on the album). Has it always been this way?[/QUOTE]
On the other albums he just wrote the music but now he rights music and lyrics, I think.

[QUOTE=Undertaker04]The mian reasons to by Mezmerized
1.Cigaro
2.Byob
Thats all for now :evil:[/QUOTE]

1. Sad Statue
2. Lost in hollywood (Riff is similar as in forest imo.)
3. Radio/Video
4. Vilolent Photography
5. BYOB

Those are top 5 songs on this album imo.

Have you all got illegal copies or has it been released early?

So what does everyone think of it compared to the other albums?

Also when is Hypnotize out?(I don't feel like looking for a date in here)

Yeah, that's what I thought, that would be awesome if they released them at the same time.

it comes out in september i think it should be good though

[QUOTE=Mr. Hankie]Am I the only one that thinks that Innervision is one of the best SOAD songs?[/QUOTE]

No...thats a great song.
Very fun to play along with the record on guitar as well.

I got some money on my birthday and i decided to pre-order mesmerize...

[QUOTE=AIC/EAZY-E]Do any of you think Violent Pornography is teh pwn&gE?[/QUOTE]


yes it is. i got my pre-ordered copy today in the mail. i did the same with the mudvayne album, they always come like 5-6 days early that way. but yea, i like just about ever song on this album, for differant reasons than i like older soad stuff because its so differant, but i love it.

1.Violent Pornography
2.Revenga
3.Question!
4.Old School Hollywood
5.BYOB
...Cigaro is probably the worst on the album IMO, but I still love that bridge.

i personally think the album is great. even though its not as heavy as the first one it dont matter. because the originality and weirdness are still there. which is what SOAD is obvioulsy known for. i think the fact that Daron sings on this album alot more just shows how much diversity they can have. he doesnt have the worlds best voice but i think he has a very unique voice in general, obvioulsy Serj aswell. which makes them singing together really well. u just gotta love all those little things to. like the end of cocaine where hes like "dont eat the fish". i was like wtf? lol. and of course violent pornography frickin owns. of course i dont hafta say ne of this. almost everybody already has. lol

Anyone got the album yet?

(The pre-orders are arriving early!)

[QUOTE=MXican]Apologise I thought you meant mezmerize :p

I'm pretty sure it comes out like septemberish?

I'll be getting mezmerize when it comes available to me, which I believe is the 17th of this month. They were suppose to do a show, but they postponed it until the end of summer. *cant wait*
Im hoping mezmerize will be better than Toxicity, and esp Steal This Album. Without a doubt, their 1st ablum is one of my favorites to this day.

I just got my pre-ordred album yesterday and ive listened to it non-stop ever since...and my favorite songs would have to be
BYOB
Sad Statue
Violent Pornograpy
Revenga

i know now it seems like there is no defined lead singer its split between daron and serj....it just makes the album that much better

Really?
I personally hate Daron's voice...

I got the album today and I must say that it's great. My favorite songs would have to be "Radio/Video" or "Revenga" but my opinion may change later. Old School Hollywood is very different from the usual System of a Down but it's good. Did any of you get the shirt with the album?

Just curious,
what the heck is "Suite-pee" about?

[QUOTE=Shattered_Future]Really?
I personally hate Daron's voice...[/QUOTE]
Yeah i think it does i like it...like in revenga were hes singing "My sweet clemintine" and "My revenge will be yours for the taking" IMO its good...its one of the better songs on the cd of course its my opinon

just a thought, can anyone put up links to some of the new songs? ive looked on google but can find much apart from cigaro and byob. I know pepsiMetal has put up his links but it they have expired! thanks in advance

I like Darons voice I think it is cool.

If hypnotize is any good as mesmerize i will definatly be getting it when it comes out

This is Violent Pornograpy for anyone who dosent have mesmerize yet IMO its the best song off of the cd

Thanks man, i appreciate it... well i would if it would bloody download!! lol never mind i guess il have to wait until next week and actually buy it!

It took ages for 'BYOB' to grow on me, i didn't like it that much before, but now i love it. But it's still not as good as 'Cigaro' imo.

This is my order of song from favorite to leat favorite
Violent Pornograpy
revenga
BYOB
Sad Statue
Cigaro
This cocanie make me feel like im on this song
old school hollywood
radio/video
question!
lost in hollywood
and solider side is just an intro so you know

I dont care if it isn't as good as the others. i have to buy it as a matter of principle! lol

[QUOTE=munky_magik]If BYOB and Cigaro are consistently rated by people as some of the best work on the album I don't think I'll like it.[/QUOTE]
They only say byob and cigaro are the best songs because SOAD released them early and thats all they heard for a while...theres a lot of songs on there i listen to twice as much as byob and cigaro...its a good cd

I like byob...but i did have to listen to it on repeat before i started to get into it. jus wih i could have heard more songs of the album

[QUOTE=munky_magik]If BYOB and Cigaro are consistently rated by people as some of the best work on the album I don't think I'll like it.[/QUOTE]

I think when you hear songs like radio/video, violent pornography, sad statue, and lost in hollywood, you wont even like byob or cigaro as much. And Im saying if you, as in that audience who rates those 2 songs the best. I liked cigaro and BYOB alot as well, but once I heard rest of the songs, I knew byob and cigaro were just OK songs.

BTW radio/video has a sweet intro riff. Man... :naughty:

I like this album, can't decide if it's their best album, but it's definetely one of their best. But some people will obviously find it to be pure crap, while others will think it's a marvelous album. The thing I prefer in this album over last soad albums is that songs are much more different. In previous soad albums, many songs had similar structure and such. This album has bunch of different stuff. I listened to album like 10 times already and I keep hearing something new everytime I listen to it.
