u mf whats the problem with true metal i like that name and heyu mother foker stop talking sh** about soad cuz thats what one supid a$$ little kid said and i almost brocke his hand he got his as kicked so badly but he learned a lessonDONT U EVER TALK sh** ABOUT SYSTEM OF A DOWN WHEN U R NEAR ME OR ULL PAY THE CONSECUENSES
if you all want soad to sound the same like always, then you get another version of linkin park, 3 cd's all the same sh**. they make the sound cause they like it, its what keeps their originality that actracted everyone int the first place. if you dont the way they sound, stop listening to them and find another band. but dont critisize them when they are the ones who make the music, not you.
i liked the video. it wasnt like the others they used to make, but it was still good. the song is awesome, however, despite what most are saying. but if you dont like the change, again, go relive your glory days while the rest of the world, including SOAD, move on towards the future. if you dont like it, tough sh**, you have no control over it so deal with it or bury yourself.
their first album was extremely raw and dark .... very similar to korn's first album .... of course each in its own way but SOAD and korn have become progressively less dark and raw ..... each with a different style but both fading away from what got them there ...... dark music
ahh....insomnia.......how i thought i left you behind in college.
Soads first album....like many great first albums, captured them while they were still hopeful and hungry......That energy tends to begin its fade on the second and third records.....even if commercial success passes a band by.....
Soad sound "better" in the sense of tweeking their nuances, but they've left behind that "mud and rust" sound of that first album.....which is what made is great......one could easily argue their best record.
They want staying power now....The goal isn't to grab your attention, now that they are as recognized as korn at their peak....the goal is to keep your attention........
BYOB does that i think........It's differnt but very much soad, their not sacrificing their wierdness one bit, the message is still political, strange, emotional, silly or all of the above....
Furthermore their still being bold.....time changes ahoy, adding more of Malakian to the vocal mix...........ill admit i liked his harmonies on 'Toxicity' and his backround squeeks and yips on their debut were priceless....He's really making Malakian of a Down to be honest.....but it still sounds compelling to me....i'll reserve the comments good or great for when i've heard the songs a bit more....as i shun the sh** out of radio.....
as i generally say with something we can't know for sure about........
we'll see.
um sorry ashley but i REALLY did like system and now they're not a dark band anymore and i dont ..... they sound completely different, its practically a whole new sound .... "A HUGE STEP FOR SYSTEM" ... yes, BACKWARDS ..... haha rot in hell and bring it on bit ches
to post 8 ... step your little f ucking 15 year old bi tch a$$ anywhere near me and i'll fukking destroy you .... i bet you don't even pit at shows you fukking little fagwad b itch ..... YOU DIDN'T BEAT SOMEONE UP CUZ THEY SAID SYSTEM SUCKS .... you little fag liar ....
I think that anyone who seriously considers not being a system fan anymore for what they write now, was never a real system fan to begin with. A real fan changes as the band does, because a fan is someone who loves what they do, not what they were 5 years ago. System is growing up, and maybe you should try and realize that everyone does, and respect that they still stay completely original to what they are. Not just this, but goddamn they've gotten infinitely better than their previous efforts. John learned to use double bass for real, and darron and chavo's chops are tighter and stronger than ever. Their writing and creativity is still seamless. Come on guys, grow up. Just because they were the band you listened to when you were a p***ed off high school kid with acne who hated your parents doesn't mean they're a "dark" band. They had a rougher phase with their first album, but they were never what they're being made out to be.
Personally, I think the 2 new singles are phenomenal. They are still system, but with experience and talent that far surpasses their old stuff. BYOB amps me up the same way toxicity and sugar did, and I can't wait to hear the rest of the stuff. I'm more for a system fan then ever.
And DEADMETAL, it IS a huge step forward. De-wax your ears and you might hear it.
what is it that i might hear? i'm hearing not darkness .... i'm not argue with the "step forward" sh** anymore but you are dead wrong trying to say that i was "never a real sytem fan" because i don't like the music now. i was a "real" system fan, listened to the first album pretty much everyday all the way through for like a year after i got it .... it was my favorite album for a long time and IT WAS a darker album than the new stuff. there is no way that you can claim the first album wasnt a dark album, IT WAS! i wont back down on that. I'm glad that you like the new stuff ... i don't .... who cares? we all post OPINIONS and its all good ... soI DON'T LIKE THEM? i'm gonna tell you and feel free to drop your unrelenting opinion back
Dead, i see what you're saying, and you may have been a system fan, but when I think of a fan I'm thinking FAN. Like System would have to recruit Bonnie Raitt and have daron play a banjo for the person I'm talking about to lose his zeal. But that's a little extreme I guess. It would take me alot to lose it for system, they just started too original for me to really see them any different. Like I said, I think they just got much better at what they do. And also, when you say dark, bands like NIN and coal chamber come to mind. That's DARK. System always had the quirky silliness to it. Cigaro to me seems like a perfect blend of their rebellious and crazy roots with their improved creativity. I will agree in saying that they have refined their sound since their self-titled, but that's just what it is. Refined. I bet they will have plenty of darker sounding stuff for you guys on the new discs too.
Hi All i saw this web and i liked to post up my coment.. i read all what had U reatten out up and i can say that we all Used for SOAD cause they allways they give thyre best... and about the Video i hadnt understood abot what its talking about. but its so fine cause it got nice mind about the war (Y do allways sends the poor) So.. al th ebest 4 ya SOAD.. and were all 4 U... if anybody says anothere thing just post Ur comment
if you say you 'loved' soad and now it sucks then this music is just for you. the chorus is great. i love their sarcasm. that chorus potrays what's happening with 'metal music' lately.
and if you can't see it.. well.....
everybody is going to the party
have a real good time
dancing in the desert
blowing up the sunshine
to post 65 ... i'm very open to all types of music, especially any metal genre, and i have given SOAD a very fair listen .... i loved the first cd, thought toxicity was genius, i like most of "steal this album" .... but i don't think this cd compares with any of those ....
my favorite track on the new cd is the least like normal system "old school hollywood" ....
what really got me is that there is essentialy 10 tracks on this cd .... 10 f***ING TRACKS!!! ... why was this released as part of a double-cd set when the first cd doesn't even equal the amount of music on one normal cd????? ......
on their website they discussed how they wanted everyone to be able to "digest" the first cd before the second one came out .... they thought we would need time to ponder over the 1st cd .... there isn't a single track that required a second listen for me before i was able to gather the message of the song .... i think its an extremely weak offering from a solid band ....
For an opinion site alot of you sure attack each other... you should expect different view points and get over it. So heres mine, System is an awsome band and was never ment to be "metal"! I love there new cd its unique and different very mezmerizing lol. And it keeps the whole system of a down touch to it. I think they should be in there own genre called "Rock Polka" lmao anyone agree?
To All the people that say "SOAD is no more a dark band etc" f*** YOU!!!!!What the f*** is wrong with these posers that all they want to do is play it "dark" and "true metal".f*** off open your mind.Yeah,LP SUX ASS,they are posers and they should get the hekc out of this industry.but ffs SOAD is an amazing band,it has proved that it can stand on its own and Damn they own.i wont tell anyone what to say about the new CD,i just want to say get away from your little f***ing toy brains,wake up and look around.."True Metal???(the term)" What The f***!?
Havent been on for a while and when I got back I came to read the words of Brokenwings13 and Zero, two punk a$$ fag f***s with no taste in music, Bad mouthing my favorite band and the band that converted me to metal, System of a down, I think that bastards like that should get the hell out of here and go to some emo fan site. And Id like to say that DeadMetal needs shut his f***in mouth along with any one else with anything negative to say about system. SOADToxicity2 Rock on Brother
Im sorry Zero I guess I did make a mistake, YOU werent badmouthing system you were bad mouthing me "People like True metal shouldnt be allowed on this site.", "true metal, how would they have an opinion unless they see the video you moronic bastard." I dont think that you should worship System But If you have something bad to say dont go an let loose in the middle of a System of a Down Forum
Stop fighting. You guys sound like seriously uneducated and closed-minded high-schoolers. The album is different, the music is different, and System has changed. But I can you they are NOT softcore, or gay. They're real musicians now. Unfortunately real musicianship really does float above some people's limited tastes and is scoffed. But man this "discussion" sounds like a football locker room argument. Laughable.
(The album is a little too short.)
jeez i like metal but that was just terrible i hated the video and now i'm starting to hate the song i wasted like 3 minutes of my life watching that f***ing crapy video?! that suks i could have thought of a lot of better things to do than watch that awful video whatever bi all!
At the end of the day the new album is lyrically inferior, it relies on metaphors and a lot of people won't pick up on that for whatever reason, there are no killer lines as we saw on the Self-Titled album etc. But, I will say this, I was not at all keen on the album when I first heard it. In fact, I was p***ed off that I seemed to have outgrown SOAD. But I did what a real musicfan would do, and gie it time. I'm not talking lock yourself in a room with it on repeat or anything, but don't be a dumbass and claim you had it figured out in one listen. This album is a grower, lacking the instant hook of the previous albums.
And oh yeah I guess I'm a softcore emo fag for saying that. I'll remember that when I go to Download and then see SOAD again for the 4th time.
The album is only 10 tracks because they have another one comeing out in November. Stop complaining about it. The album and that song were great you just have to sit down and really listen, it's an album that makes you think about the metaphors. What's wrong with an album that makes you think?...nothing! If you don't like it that's fine but don't come on here b****ing and complaining about it. System of a Down kicks a$$ and always will, you don't like it then get off the site, stop starting with people, and go play with yourselves.
all you girls that hate this song and the video need to shut up and go get the job and see if you can deal with what they want . they choose how the song gos and say if they like it. go and lissen to metal in fact go to your mom say your gay and leave metal forever
if yu b****es dont like soad's new song then ohkay itz fine. but f*** ALL YU HATERS!! geez. soad kicks ass. BYOB might not be their greatest song but they still kick ass. yu guyz dont know true music. if yu think yu do, then list yur fave bands. and it BETTER not be those emo sh**. emo can suck a d***. and alternative sux ass. punk and metal rock!! well thatz what i think..so yah, list yur fave bands people♥
♥♥>♥♥
wtf? like a little bunny rabbit?? ooooookayyyy. yu all know im so pimp with my fonts. lol, w/e. but yessssss. about soad, they're cool. i dont think they are the best band in the world though. but they're still coool.♥♥♥♥♣♠™
OMG A MOTHER JOKE J00 MUST BE RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!1!
Dead, if you really think, after one listen, you know for a fact that Mesmerize sucks d***, I won't argue with that. What I wanna see is a blow by blow account of why you think each song on that album sucks, and hey, you said yourself it's a short album, so it can't take that long.
Metal does not have to melt your face to be good.
