    Ha, I was there too. I found it rather strange that everyone knew the lyrics to this no name band I never heard of before. Ah to be young and ignorant! :D

    Anyway, back to the topic. I really have to defend Daron's singing. I absolutely love it. As for the 2 new albums, I thought they were great, but they wore out within a couple of weeks. It just got boring after a short while.

    Please sir except my apolgies for offending your eyes. Im afraid that like playing Air Guitar this post seemed like a good idea at the time but in hindsight was a tad stupid.

    You've heard wrong,

    agree'd. they were stunning there. saw them on tv last year playing live and they sucked. sounded/looked tired and completely un-animated

    System would be one of my favourite bands and I think all of their albums are brilliant.

    System of a Down is the heaviest and I love all of the songs on it,I guess it was the most metal.

    Toxicity was the first album I got and it was like nothing i'd ever heard,some fun songs on it to :)

    Steal This Album.... Well it's just damn catchy :p I love it aswell

    Mezmerize when it first came out i loved the first 7/8 songs then I thought the rest wasnt great but it's grown on me since

    Hypnotize.... Has some great songs but I feel the middle is a bit forced,just filler. The end (Lonely day,Soldier side) I think is great though.

    As for Daron singing, I like it but there's just so much. I kinda forget about Serj sometimes.

    i dunno, i doubt we're the only two who thoroughly enjoyed the ozzfest show. i was in the pit and had an absolute ball. on the day i'm sure i said they were better then slayer (despite me not catching the whole slayer set due to mushroomhead)

    I enjoyed their set too, I had a great time.
    But their is no denying that their live peformance is lacking and that they are not very good at entertaining.
    Definatly one of the worst sets of the day.

    Saw em at puncherstown for ozzfest, one of the best live bands ever imo, but i will agree that the vids i seen of em live recently are terrible.

    Loved all theres stuff, hyp and meswerent great at first but they really grew on me and when i got used to them i found there earlier stuff cumbersome. Love all of it but when you listen to system of a down all the way through to hypnotise you realise that its a natural progression. Darron should learn how to stick to harmonys though.

    Loved the self-titled album. Everything else is really annoying though in my opinion. Daron's voice is terrible.

    I agree the second track is the better of the two. This EP seems to be a once off release due to war in their home country.

    great band. daron should stop singing. new material is average at best

    According to Serj, Daron should stop trying to have total creative control. He's becoming like James and Lars in one person.

    Personally I didn't like the guitar sound on mezmerise/hypnotise. It sounded "messy" for want of a better word.

    SOAD, Toxicity and Steal This Album are my favourites.

    The tracks are decent, but I don't think the chemistry/desire is there anymore to write another album worthy of their early 2000s standard. Seems like they all have quite different artistic interests these days, and the drummer has drastically different political views to Serj.

    https://www.nme.com/news/music/system-of-a-downs-daron-malakian-says-in-fighting-is-preventing-a-new-album-2816827

    Still would love to see them play live for the nostalgia buzz!
