[QUOTE=Kyle]I like Daron's vocals, but not as much as Serj's. Although I like it best when Daron does backing vocals, they harmonize so nicely.[/QUOTE]

I agree with that, I'm not so keen on Daron on his own, but together they sound great.

NP: Ddevil :thumb:

I think Daron's an okay singer, but i think he's a BAAAAADAAAAAAASSSS on guitar, as far as most people who both play an instrument and sing at the same time.

My favorite songs are "This Cocaine Makes me Feel Like I'm On This Song", "Sad Statue", "Old School Hollywood" and "Lost in Hollywood"

is hypnotize out yet? if not when is it coming out

It has been leaked but its official release date isn't until later in the month I think.

You know I really don't like Daron's vocals, but they are actually really good on Hypnotize (the song).

This album is solid.

toxicity > mesmerize > hypnotize > s/t > STA

at the moment....some of the choruses are great, tentative, holy mountain etc.

[QUOTE=Ovenmitt]So the Soil that did Halo isn't SOAD in disguise? And there's also Soilwork and so on that begin with soil, so I'm confuzzled....:confused:[/QUOTE]

Soil and Soilwork are complete different bands and sadly I had to find that out the hard way. I bought a Soil cd thinking it was Soilwork and I was let down quite a bit because I had just bought the album and I couldn't get it returned for a refund. Soilwork though, is one of my favorite metal bands.

The new album of System of a Down, I can't wait for. I am not a huge fan of theirs, but I have all the rest of their albums so might as well buy this one also. I do listen to them occasionally, and hearing Hypnotize it sounds like a strong album, so whenever it's released I can't wait to hear it.

..where can I hear the leaked songs?

Wow, man I just listened to Temper today... that's a nice **** song!!! Most of the unreleased material is awsome... Marmelade, Metro, Snowblind, Temper, Shame on a Nigga, evan that ol demo Blue, really good stuff. Personally, only Defy You sucks, mostly because of the lyrics...

I prefare the Defy You lyrics to Nuguns.
I'd have the Defy You lyrics with the Nuguns instruments :thumb:

Hypnotize is a lot better than Mezmerize. I'm sure the haters will still hate, but these songs are some of the best ever written by SOAD, no doubt about it. Daron's singing is much less annoying than on Mezmerize as well, which was my main complaint.

I really don't mind Darons singing, not at all. I actually like listening to him sing, and hope he would do it more. I know that might seem odd, but there is just something odd about it that I really enjoy and I can't tell you what it is about it either.

So are you guys excited about the new album (Duh!)

Do you think it will do as well as the last?

I saw the video for Hypnotize for the fourth or fifth time, and now I think that it is a pretty good song. If the rest of the albub is at least as good as that song, then I think that it will do pretty good. But I, as well as some other SOAD fans I know, don't beleive that Hypnotize will do as good as Mezmerize simply because lots of people who are old fans have adopted the "I only like their old stuff" stand on it. I'll go buy Hypnotize though.

What I've heard of Hypnotize is pretty good. What do you guys think of the little fast solo bit in 'lonely day'......I've never heard Daron do that before, although never doubted that he could.

Listen to Hypnotize leaked on MTV.com.

I just got Hypnotize yesterday. Honestly, I didn't like it on the first listen. But after a few listens, it's really starting to grow on me. The only part I don't like is the fact that a song could start out with a perfectly good intro and cheezy vocals almost ruin it e.g. "Kill Rock 'N' Roll" :upset: I suppose I'll get used to it though. My favorite song of theirs is still that old demo of "Blue." "Friik," is pretty cool too.

:eek: <-------My face during Lonely Day. I knew Daron was the man!

Yea lonely day is amazing. It's probably my second or third favorite track after tentative, and some other song I can't remember name of atm.

Tentative is awesome,I though Soldier Side was awesome also.

Hypnotize is my fav SOAD album. Is this gonna be their last?

[QUOTE=Prince of Darkness]Hypnotize is my fav SOAD album. Is this gonna be their last?[/QUOTE]

I don't know much about what they have planned after the album, I also don't follow System of a Down much, but I doubt it's their last album. If it were, that would be horrible to think about, but again, it's highly doubtful.

Im not the biggest fan of the newer SOAD material. I heard hypnotize on the radio and was just wondering if the cd came out yet?

I dont, as i would rather wait for it, but it will be a worth while wait.

[QUOTE=Skit]This isnt there final album[/quote]

[quote]There doing another tour for about a year then starting on another album :thumb:[/QUOTE]
Sweet. They better play Ireland this time.

I saw them on the mezmerise tour but I'm gona go and see them again definately!

So my friend and I downloaded it yesterday. It's got some great songs, but there is also a lot of crap. I'm addicted to "Vicinity of Obsenity." That song is probably their best.

What do you mean crap? Soad's songs on first listen usually all sound crap, but after a few listens they become great songs. That's how it is for me at least.
