Aug 9, 2018Mezmerize contains Toxicity's weight and insanity and Steal this album's ecleticism and melodic sense, that even more expanded with Malakian's vocals. All of this in only 36 minutes of listening.

Nov 1, 2020Hands down my favorite album. Every song is a pulse pounding work of art, silly as can be too with that "Cigaro" track. I jam to it every road trip!
-
LeoLeoJun 2, 2005This is a fantastic album.Its songs are very fabulous. BYOB is the best song of the disc!!!

GreggJun 5, 2005This album is amazing, all i can say is 'it's a violent pornography, choking chicks and sodomy!!!

LiberalJun 29, 2005People can be most blind to the true meaning of this album. It isn't poppy for the sake of Commercial Music, in fact it's not really poppy at all. Although some of there songs have a different beat the old System music, it's new, it's fabulous, and they pull it off. By pointing out the wrong in this society, they pull off another great album.

LauraSMay 18, 2005The best SOAD album to date, without a doubt. Everything I loved about them on their other albums is only better here.

ME40May 18, 2005Great CD, way out there, but in the good.

BrianJMay 18, 2005I have loved System of a Down since their first album! Mezmerize does not disappoint!
-
-
ChrisMay 19, 2005Great album. As good as anything they've ever done. Can't wait for Hypnotize!
-
-
ChrisCMay 21, 2005It's nice to see one of the ubiquitous cookie cutter metal bands finally branching out into truly interesting music. If all popular bands suddenly decided to make original music that sounds different from the mind-numbing dreck that originally made them popular, mainstream radio would be worth listening to.

LukasFMay 26, 2005Soad are the best
-
-
JMay 27, 2005An excellent album through and through, while i admit it is a bit more "poppy" than there previous albums its still brilliant and ads the sound. Basically its white shit hot and some of the chorus' are just too catchy. (see violent pornography) BYOB rains supreme though, my new favourite SOAD song
-
-
panosMay 31, 2005Warning: Its not an experiment but a full assault to all your senses. Heavy, aggressive, melodic. Its a powerfull mix of punk and heavy metal dedicated to all the people that are still have a rebel teen beat in their minds. All the others will (thankfully...) pass away. Screw them!
-
-
AlexanderSMay 30, 2005This albums is a reamin of many metal bands and genres, even SOAD itself, it becomes tedious sometimes, but songs like "Video Radio" and "Sad Statue" make the album worth, there's a big change in the lyrics, not a bad album, only we expected more, and i can't wait six months for it

MichaelBJun 13, 2005The band had a lot to live up to after 2 killer albums... and they did!
-
-
BrianaMJun 14, 2005who else compares!? System of a Down kicks major ass! This is deffinetly by far their best album yet, and Im sure that Hypnotize will be even more impressive. :)

JeffCJun 15, 2005Awesome. Best rock album in years!
-

SeanBJun 15, 2005SOAD are the greatest band in the world. I've never heard so much talent in a four man band.

-
-
Matiam.Jun 28, 2005the only reason system is sayin that stuff about charles manson is because if the americans can cause hysteria during the war, why cant he? system of a down definetly deserves a ten out of ten they are the new break through band of the new rock age!!!!!!!!!!!

CoreyPJun 6, 2005I love the album. It is SoaD, love'em or hate'em, they do their own thing, something other bands should think about doing. While I still think Toxicity is the best SoaD album, this one is a very, very close 2nd. Every song has a hook that only System can pull off. A rock opera in every song.

VictorEJul 8, 2005there are some try-hard metal fans out there but many of them do not accept whats hot and whats not. System of a down are a brilliant band and anyone who rates them lower than 9/10 are deemed to not be true metal fans. Go back to your charts and soothing ocean noises while we hard-rockers will get the most out of out cd players and mp3 players.

RichardLSep 4, 2005Such a wonderful experience. From the incredibly pop (B.Y.O.B. and Old School Hollywood Baseball) to the more conventional S.O.A.D. songs - if you could ever describe S.O.A.D. conventional. But if you rank David Gray or Texas as your favourite artists, then it's probably best to avoid this.

Myles#13Sep 6, 2006Simply phenomenal album, well worth the long wait after 'Steal This Album!'. 'Mesmerize' is a fantastic CD that is so political and FUN at the same time. Do buy this... you will be pleasantly rewarded.
-
-
MislavDec 6, 2007Awesome album. That is the most accurate (and only slightly biased) way to describe it.
-
-
TeodoraK.Sep 25, 2007This album deserves a 10 hands down.
-
-
KraigB.Mar 5, 2008In my opinion, SOAD's best album to date. If you gave this album anything less than a 6 regardless of not being a metal fan, you can't say you truely like music.

GaryGOct 12, 2005This is definately their best album (apologies to "Toxicity" fans) and it will kick your butt. Those on the fence, give it a chance, you'll be glad you did.
-
-
BrianPNov 23, 2005Without a doubt, THE rock album of 2005! Furious riffing combined with SOADs staple caustic political statements combine to form on hell of an amazing piece of work!
