Joel C gave it a10:
This album gets 10 on Chop Suey and Forest alone, no joke. Add in 12 bonus tracks that are nearly equally as good and voila.
Jiri V. gave it a10:
The essential album by SOAD. One of best albums of this century so far regardless the musical style. The mirror facing our era. Hard, funny, creative, melodical.
Declan A. gave it a10:
This has to be one of my favourite albums of all time. It's exhilarating from start to finish, and Serj's voice is amazing. You can listen to it again and again and get the same rush you did first time listening to it. Out of this world
Joshua S. gave it a10:
The guy who wrote the article for Uncut: Just shut up, just fucking shut up! it's quite clear some of the reviewers don't like metal bands from the new millennium at all so they might as well not bother reviewing if they already have a pessimistic preconception
Ron gave it a9:
A step down from the debut, while brilliant nonetheless. The hits were great (Toxicity, Aerials), and it had a few more gems (Deer Dance, Forest, Prison Song), but the other half, especially the first few tracks are a disappointment. The aforementioned strong points pull it up to a 9. And FYI, this isn't the "debut", Mithyus. 2nd Best System CD.
Frank H. gave it a10:
This band rocks my sox and floats my boat. I can Play the whole album on my Fender Strat 100th Anniversary.
Mithyus gave it a10:
As a debut, Toxicity transmitted System of a Down perfectly; powerful, moving, and deep. This is definitely not a band for everyone, but the ones who let the sound take over won't ever let go of it. Chop Suey!, ATWA, Toxicity and Aerials shine here.
