I'm french... I listen all records of soad whereas mesmerize. Theses three albums are so goods that i dont know if its toxicity , steal this album or soad (the first album) is the best. They change their style in all their album... and the differents styles are very good.. In france we love System...

I don't hate the French as much as I used to, I still dislike them, of course, but I started to drink French wine again, then I remembered why I never drank any of it, it tastes bad. Australian and Italian wines are better.
Drinking wine has NOTHING to do with politics.

Alright listen up you sick French piece of sh**. Learn to type,use English, and get use to the fact that your born a b**** b/c your French. Your a pussie much like your homo run country. ''We wont go to Iraq,our economy is bad!''-''America is only after oil,not world protection''. SHUT UP! And you have and never will f*** my mother. If it was true I'd be in jail for life after cutting off your balls with a dull butter knife and shoving theim down your French pie whole. If the subject of my mother comes out of your mouth or key board I will hunt you down like the dog that you are Frenchmen. I will stick my SKS down your f***ing throat and unload my banna clip and send back to France in a doggie bag to the smelly pussie diease you call a mother. Never discrace my mother again c***.

wow john ... anyway, i hate the french too because they lay down like little b****es faster than saddam's army laid down ... when was the last time they actually stood up for themselves rather than being trampled on like the rude, disgusting, smelly nasty p***ies that they are ... fukk the french ... go "freedom fries" ... hehehe
by the way ... post23 ... "soldier side"? fukking "soldier side"? .... its barely even able to be counted as a song, let alone a "good song" .... its a garbage intro track that was used so they could say the word "soldier" to invoke thoughts of the war and their obvious (and very bluntly stated) dislike of the war and their obvious ploy of using it to attract attention, as much as they hate the war they sure are trying to make a buck off of it ....
ANYWYAY, point being, don't count "soldier side" as one of the "4 good songs" on this cd ....

I know why you hate us ,frenches. That's only racism. you're sh**s... french are not only wine. I'm proud to be french, to live in the best democratie of the world, in the country where freedom is the more rspected... (USA: freedom country... impossible; you're manipulate by the television, by you're government) USA is not respected in the worldbecause they doesn't respect anybody. That you may retain your self-respect, it is better to displease the people by doing what you know is right, than to temporarily please them by doing what you know is wrong.
Without france United States Of America would never had existed... It's napoléon who help USA to win englishes.... But I know france do not exists today if americans had not help us in the second world war...
Half of the American people have never read a newspaper. Half never voted for President. One hopes it is the same half. It's why you have a stupid cowboy in the white house... In usa you don't see you are losing your freedom... but out of usa it's evident... You hates frenches why??? If you hate a person, you hate something in him that is part of yourself. What isn't part of ourselves doesn't disturb us.
It's a circle you know... it's a stupid circle... You hate some persons because we do not know them; and you will not know them because you hate them.
That you only know of frenches its wines or cheeses... How can you juge us...

My mother is a woman of great respect. Why she kept a little sh** head like me, unkown. If you ever disrespect my mother again you will wake up with my SKS'' muzzel 2'' in front of your smelly face and see a bright light. You f***ing ungraetful, cheese smelling, hairy douchebag. As much as I hate my government, only Americans have the right to call our retarded president a cowboy. F U C K YOU M O T H E R F U C K E R

aww look at deadmetals educated opinion on the french
we americans are so blood thirsty we need ALL COUNTRIES to say f*** the world and help us invade!
you a$$holes know jack sh** about france and the citizens of it.
lol the funny thing is they were the smart ones. when the next world war rolls around they will actually have allies.
just because a country is in no desperate need for oil/world domination does not make them p***ies at all. it makes us p***ies for invading innnocents and raping their territory.
i would take france over are f***ing fa**ot a$$ country anyday

I think toxicity si better than mesmerize... is too short... Toxicity is the best album of system (psyko, toxicity chopsuey, pison song, forest, atwa, science, deer dance are all ery goods) but "question" is very very good in mesmerize... beautiful mix with serj and shavo's voices... I think is one of the bests songs of system with chop suey and roulette( even if it's a very calm song)... I think hypnotise will be better than mesmerize

i agree with the french guy and brad being prejidice because some one is from a certain part of the world is not cool and i also think the war sucks a$$ and the government has to much say in our lives. althogh soad is a great band i dont care for there political views because them and bands like them use there political view to make money i hate you frenchie not because you are french but because of who you are and what you have said no one and i mean no one can dis america and its government exept other americans so f*** off and go eat some cheese


64. writes:
ok men... i respect your point of view... but when i was speaking about the americans I was just defending myself and my country. You know i couldnt say nothing... I respect you because you have reasons to hate me guy... But you know i can't respect anarchist when he say "french are gay" That have no sense... I must say he's a very very stupid man...
And about your government: I think americans deserve a better president than g.W.Bush. ( a part of the americans: anarchist doesn't deserves)

68. writes:
the president is a fool and are government is a joke ,probably the only reason you hate the french is because our governmenttells you to. Most people who like SOAD hates the president or the government or in my case both, but yet whatever the government says we americans all act like little drones and do what they say. when you think about it was actually bush who told us to hate the french. Now look at your selves cursing out some french dude who said nothing to piss you off. i think that one of the reasons SOAD sings about political crap is because some people like that stuff and they do it for the money. im not sure since i dont know SOAD personally , but you should take there advice and listen to BYOB which is about not lisening to everything the media or thegovernment say.

ZerO, France has a Prime Minister, Jaques Chirac.
Angry Stoner, I could beat you at a spelling bee. And I also don't hate the French because my government tells me too. I hate them all on my own accord.

tell you the truth i would have voted for nator if i were old enough to vote. ive also been to both canada and france and the people really are not so bad. Its just like america some people are really cool and some are real c*** suckers. how can you like SOAD and like the president im not beeing a d*** im just baffled i mean SOAD has so many songs that talk sh** about the government and the president please help me to under stand.
P.S. and as for the spelling bee brokenwings13 you probablly could beat me in a spelling bee spelling is not my strong suit. where did punk go wrong?

pigpiles you are a f***ing dumb a$$ to think that if america were to stay out of every ones bussiness that there would be no terrorism. look at Korea there the only bastards the united states knows has weapons of mass destruction and were doing sh** about it. i give it a decade until korea pulls a Hitler. they have already threatend us so i think we should pull our soldiers out of the middle east and f*** up kim jong il, but only if it were that easy we cant just pull our people out of the middle east. i was never for the war in iraq i was for the war on terror .im sure i am not the first to realize this, but what does iraq have to do with the war on terror ... nothing not jack sh**. it would have been fine if we went after osama and then instead of going to iraq we should have gone to Korea and bomed the sh** out of Kim Jong il, but cant have everything you ask for.
P.S. what kind of name is pigpiles mine makes sense im a stoner and im angry are you commparing your self to pig sh** just wondering.
78. writes:
dipsh** the name is a skateboard company and i have used it for years upon years..... and that is bullsh** about only knowing that korea has weapons. who cares if they do all the other countries also have weapons dipsh**. and if they even really did threaten us it was prob because america thinks that they are all high and mighty and so powerful when they arent sh** compared to others. why do u think other countries hate us so much, it surely isnt because of our good looks or smarts. they dont like us because we dig around in their country when we shouldnt be it isnt our problem. plus who likes someone that thinks that they are better than everyone else when they aint sh**..................besides being a stoner and drugy is so cool not

pigpiles is a fukking idiot ... just to get that out of the way ...
for one, most people hate america because they want what we have ... a life of entertainment and leisure ... at great expenses too ... the cost of a music cd alone here in the u.s. could feed whole families for weeks in other countries ...
... second, since when should we not worry about what other countries are doing? you really take for granted that our country is a sole world power ... imagine that we weren't because of people like you that want "world peace" and wanna be all "life is peachy, lets all love each other" and then we as a whole get fukked over and end up in a position like the soviet union or germany and have absolutely zero economic stability and no way of gaining any power ...
... you should really not take for granted the life that you are able to lead due to our military might ...

Why are you rambling on and on yo? One post is all that is needed. America is the best country to be in. Only the worst government ever! I'm proud to be an American but I will fight the power as offtened as possible. f*** France,Great Britin,Poland,Mexico mainly, Aisa,Africa, f*** everyone, I hate everyone and I hate everything!

I would've voted for Wesley Clark, a bit of a return to center, which we need. The French are fine, a little snotty to American tourists, as I and others in my family have experienced firsthand. Otherwise, a very fine country and people.
As for SoaD, I'm undecided on Mezmerize. At some points it sounds awesome, at others the style annoys the hell out of me. I loved System of a Down (Self-titled) and Steal this Album, Toxicity was a little too..."packaged" for me...like it was meant to sell. I would've liked it if they had more of the earlier-style shouting and heavy beats and guitar in Mezmerize, but Daron said they hate to recreate albums, which is more than can be said for a lot of others.
I just hope Hypnotize is different, Mezmerize's style was interesting, but one album of it is enough.

i agree with deadmetal on just about everything he said including the fact that pigpiles is and i quote "a f***ing idiot"and pipiles let me give you a brif history lesson, world war 2 happened because we did nothing. After world war 1 took place a treaty was sighned caller the treaty of versilles which stated that germany could only have an army big enough to protect them selves but not big enogh to invade another country. all the countries that fought in world war 1 sighned this because they all believed it was Germanys fault when it wasnt. some years later Germany breached the trety Hitler came to power and began to build up an army. everyone realized germany was doing this but know one cared becuse this was around the time of the great deppression. when every one was minding there own bussiness hitler started invading countries, thats what you get when people do nothing.

yeah i would like to see u try anything just so u can i live in morristown, tn i would beat the f*** out of you and your f***ing momma u little pansy b****. And for your info u people dont know sh** about history................Bunny i would love to see you at my house and what the f*** with the niger talk........ besides hitler was the man ............and how am i an idiot or whatever because america is a bunch of f***ing p***ies..... like i said it wouldnt take much for another country to take over america oh and just for your info history is one of my major studies in college
91. writes:
plus what makes it right for us to tell other countries what to do that is what starts a war Germany signed the Versailles Treaty under protest. The USA Congress refused to ratify the treaty. and so that p***ed them off then about 10 years later 1933 Hitler arose

then in 1939 they finally invaded Poland America wanted to go to war but roosevelt promised the people that america would stay neutral but roosevelt had promised churchill that some how they would go to war when it had nothing to do with america but he made a promise to a friend and wanted to keep it and go against the peoples wishes then japan france and italy had come up with an idea on how to get america into the war without it making the pres a lier and that was by attacking pearl harbor

but history and politics is like the bible all of it is taken diff ways and seen different ways but i dont believe in the bible either i think it is just a book that someone wrote to keep people sane so they wouldnt be wondering what happens to them when they die if they did it would prob be chaos but that is just me and besides if god made us who made him but anyway.....................back to what this forum is about i actually listned to the new soad album it is better than their other sh**ty cds

96. writes:
After have listened mesmerize seriuously i think it's a good album... not very good.... "This Cocaine Makes Me Feel Like I'm On This Song" is a very big sh**, there nothing in this song. But songs like Radio/video or revenga or question are quite goods... BYOB is excellent... There is good things but bad things in this album... The electronik voice in old school hollywood is not very good...

mezmerized isnt bad, but it does not touch the level of there first three albums. SOAD has never made a BAD album and i hope they never do.it is hard to discribe SOAD there NUmetal yet so much more. there is a middle Eastern-musical influence mixed with at times a mournful, romantic, hysterical, and sometimes bizarre beats. i have noticed that in a world where most metal bands are compeating to be the hardest SOAD is trying to write the best lyrics they can. i think there a true metal band, but metal has changed and gone away from the days of the Black Sabboth which is not a bad thing evolution is good, if there was no evolution there would be no metal.Unlike some other metal bands, SOADs lyric content has always been diverse, dealing with subjects such as drug addiction and government domination.
bottom line SOAD kicks lots of a$$ !
105. writes:
Yeah, thats how I feel about Memesmerized or how ever the fuk you spell it. The title of the damn c-d is longer than the c-d. 5 tracks, some 12 mintues long.
SOAD can do so much better, it's almost an insult that they would release this sh** for us fans to hear and think we would eat up. Holy sh**!

why does everyone think that every war or fight has to do with oil f***ing idiots and who ever said that they would burn me and my family i dont give a f*** about my family so go right ahead and as for me i would hang up on a wall by your skin and meat and beat the f*** out of you and torture you until u called me god u piece of sh**. and yeah i am sorda racist i hate f***ing mexicans and i hate n.i.g.e.r.s not blacks there is a diff.. japan france and italy had come up with an idea on how to get america into the war without it making the pres a lier and that was by attacking pearl harbor so zero u are a f***ing idiot

pigpiles no one cares any more this is a SOAD forum not a political views forum and should have never turned into one. i come here to talk about SOAD not to insult a racist prick . who gives a sh** about history it is probablly the most useless subject ever right next to P.E and chemistry . the reason ZerO probablly got his facts mixed up is because he is not a loser and does not care about what happened decades ago . i have met some real dumb asses on metal underground.com but you take the cake.

Good question. Now I have one: How is history usless and/or stuiped? It's a good thing to know about your history, your governments, your country, and as well other countries. Think about it. What if no one knew Native Americans where first here in America. Or that Christopher Columbus was one of the first to discover the ''New World''. What if we didn't know about American savlery days or sh** about Hitler and the Holcaust? We need to know about the past to learn from mistakes, fix theim, and make the feature better. See what worked, and find away to make it better also. Your comment made no sence. Do you know how many people don't know where North & South America got it's name? Alot! A Itlain exsplorer named Amerigo Vespucci was the first to set docks in North America, therfore it was named America, in his honor. Now don't you think people should know this?

College entrance exam.
I aced the writing and reading areas, scoring a 115 on sentence work and completion, and I scored a 99 on reading and evaluating what I was reading.
I got a 6 on my essay(I passed, they don't score very high on those) and I didn't pass the math, which is ok with me, I don't want to take math anyway. I got a 41 on that, needed anything under 42 to take remedial and a 62 to pass it.
So there's what happened with me on Monday. The papers have been hanging on my fridge for this past week. Viewing times are from 9am-5pm and from 10-4 on weekends.
