ViviO.Apr 5, 2008OMG, the words are easy so it's easy to scream along to and YOU WILL want to scream a long to this!

-
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.
-
-
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
-
-
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.
-
-
rustymJun 17, 2005absolutely crazy, hardcore, insane beauty mixed with creeping emotion and crawling worthiness. best rock album ever created
-
-
tonipJun 20, 2005this is a great album, different from anything that's out there. Can't wait for the next one
-
-
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!!!!!!!!!!!
-
-
ÁlvaroFJun 4, 2005Just incredible and different.

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.

ryanwFeb 8, 2006the best music........EVER!!!!!
-
-
OdessaSMay 26, 2006I love this album. Very experimental and creative. Serj is an artist. So is everybody else in the band. 20 years from now they will still be talked about.
-
-
LoesvJun 11, 2006Great CD! Creative, melodic.. it's breathteaking and it never fails to surprise you. I recommend this greatly

KyleSSep 22, 2006I love this albumn...LOVE!!I don't care if people say they don't like this albumn.But I f***** hate it whaen f***ers say this is bad or is crap and so on.shout your f***** mouth!
-
-
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.
-
-
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.

AustinP.Nov 20, 2005brilliant!
-

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!
-
-
EhabANov 27, 2005this is one of the great albums
-
-
nickcOct 13, 2005this rules
-

danielsOct 14, 2005this is the second best album after toxicity cant wait for Hypnotize
-

wendybDec 10, 2005it's great!!

gaetanorDec 5, 2005after hearing this, i became obsessed with SOAD. I just can stop listening to them. ive learned every song.

JoshMOct 7, 2005Awesome album by an awesome band, if you haven't bought it yet, you're missing outt, go out and buy it, best album I have ever heard, still waiting on Hypnotize, I can't wait until November 22.

-
-
AustinAMay 20, 2005I myself have been a System lover since the beginning. Don't be fooled by whining children like "jake pissoff". System reaches a new level of superiority with this catchy, politically charged assault on all that is wrong with society.
-
-
PhilSMay 21, 2005First SOAD Album I have bought and it is fantastic. No duff songs and B.Y.O.B, Radio/Video, Violent Pornography & Question are all classic songs. Can't wait till Hypnotize comes out am also going to buy the other SOAD albums.
-
-
J.M.SarabiaMay 20, 2005A new classic for the ages...and its only half of it! System of a Down lives up to there reputation as this album is anything less but "Mesmerizing". I trully cant wait for Hypnotize! 1. Soldier Side - Intro 10/10 2. B.Y.O.B. 10/10 3. Revenga 10/10 4. Cigaro 9.5/10 5. Radio/Video 9.510 6. This Cocaine Makes Me Feel Like I

MattiasWMay 23, 2005I love this cd, its one of the best creations iw ever heard
-
-
AlistairDMay 23, 2005short but addictive, hard to compare to their other albums but it is awsome. Hopefully this will answer the age old question of "why do they send the poor"
-
-
jamesbMay 25, 2005great album, maybe even better then toxicity, just maybe :)
-
-
ClutchMay 25, 2005This cd is the most original cd Soad has released. Definitely a welcomed edition to their already classic collection.
-
-
AlexKMay 26, 2005This is a sic cd. Its only fault is its length. "Lost in Hollywood" shows the diversity of the band. Deron's vocals add another layer of depth to the album.
-
-
ConorTMay 26, 2005This is the most original and addictive sound around. I can't wait for the second half "Hypnotize".
-
-
LiRMay 26, 2005This is one of the best cds ive ever heard.
-
-
NilsVMay 27, 2005This one has it all. To start off with I was slightly put off by Darons singing, but hey, the mans got a great voice, and the polyharmonics he and serj create together are hauntingly beautiful. A lot (30% or so) of their fanbase seem disapointed with this... Damn know-nothing little kids imo. A must have!
-
-
DannyPMay 29, 2005Amazing and hard to stop listening toHavent heard anything this good since Toxicity. Cant wait until Autumn and no longer like hollywood. You will Understand when you listen to the last to tracks.
-
-
SaraLeipsigMay 30, 2005OBVIOUSLY the guy ahead of me has GREAT taste to not like SOAD...lol... I love EVERY song on mezmorize, I could listen to it all day and still not get enough of it!!!

mikemikeAug 15, 2005Awsome band, awsome record!!!!
-
-
ChrisRAug 18, 2005SOAD is the best band out there, without question, they just keep getting better and better after every album. My favorite band..
-
-
JamieMAug 21, 2005Chris C must be deaf! This DOES NOT deserve a 1! a. MCR sound nothing like SOAD b. You can't sing, can you? c. SOAD aren't a horrible band. d. "Pathetic goth losers" don't listen to them (probably, I wouldn't know). e. If they did, that wouldn't make the music bad, it would mean people listen to it. 10/10; that is all.

AlbertoMAug 4, 2005Simply outstanding. Toxicity was great but Mesmerize shows the band has evolutioned 10000 steps further. They've got the same attitude towards music Faith No More had. And, from my point of view, that's one hell of a compliment.

HaZe303Mar 1, 2006I love this album... one of the best modern rock albums... best mix of melody and old plain headbanging rock.... I love it... Watch out... you could get whipplashed... :)

SidL.Sep 26, 2007SOAD's best album to date if you ask me. Their dynamic, creative, and simply awesome metal sound...that's a given. But they manage to put a large percentage of the world's problems into perspective, war. War's a party, they say sarcastically, a party that will just shoo away all the world's evil...when really it creates evil, increasing death and decay, achieving little.
-
-
LukeMNov 1, 2005absolutely awesome!!! my 1st SOAD album-the one that hooked me in... I now own all of them and think this is one of the best along side their 1st
-
-
OctavioONov 21, 2005Love it. Electrifying music that soothes and liberates the soul. This band has has surpassed its expectations making this album one of their top albums.
