[Anonymous]Jun 1, 2005So brutally stupid it's almost beyond belief. The love for this band is bewildering.

hollowaxisJun 7, 2005the only good thing thatcan be said about this record is that it has some moments that sound musical.but i cannot fathom why this average band gets so much praise.maybe it is because i am not an angry 13 year old who hasnt discovered real music. i am an angry 21 year old, and i like my kicks more intelligent and varied than this mindless crap.

declanmJul 1, 2005This album doesnt come within a mile of toxicity is so disappointing and as for letting the guitarist sing what where they thinking he cant sing period also this album is wayyyy to commerical to be accepted by real rock fans sell your souls like all the other commerically acceptable bands

AATCHBMay 23, 2005This is the last time I'm on this site. Can't believe my eyes, how can this kiddy-band get 90% ?!?

JohnPJun 1, 2005This sounds like a cross between the Faces of Death Orchestra as conducted by Kip Winger and Don Rickels. When my dog was castrated he made sounds similar to noise I heard on this record. Repeated spins prove that, in fact, castrated dogs were part of the recording process. How cool! How utterly groundbreaking! The best album of all time!

PeterfAug 4, 2006whats happened to these guys?! i mean y have they change so awkwardly. Old school hollywood would ha to be the wrost song ive ever heard. Old school hollywood baseball? what a load of crap! Darron has now stuffed the band completely, can't believe this got a higher mark than toxicity and their first album. This is their worse album and it hursts to say that being a big S.O.A.D fan.

chrisbMay 25, 2005Man this album is awful. This is just as bad as the new Finch album.

RaymondMay 29, 2005BYOB is possibly the worst song of all time - rivalled only by the rest of the tracks on this album. Random political ranting does NOT make an album good - combine this with dull, uninspired music and suddenly people are calling it a masterpiece? Great music always makes you *feel* something. This only leaves you wondering "was that it?".

CoReYJun 1, 2005I just don't understand..i liked toxicity..but i can't even listen this one from beggining to end...

GaborAJun 13, 2005Like most mainstream rock bands SOAD is listenable song for song. However, songs are so repetative that the albums are indigestable. Even by the end of a single song after hearing that dumb chorusfor the tenth time its too much.

JonKJun 21, 2005Who cares if it's good or bad? These idiots strongly support the release of Charles Manson, a major whacko responsible for a whole bunch of whackos who cut the baby out of a nine-month pregnant woman and then stabbed her to death about 30 times. Sure, give them your money.

OodMSep 20, 2005Very ordinary. Cigaro was leaked prior release, BYOB was pre-release single, track one is an intro, radio/video and old school hollywood are utter shite! Which leaves six songs, weak if you ask me.

I.LynchMar 26, 2006Its not a bad album, but i think they try to force their opinions on people a bit too much. Toxcicity is much better.

ChrisJJun 12, 2006This is System of a Down's worst album to date, by far. The songs are not creative, and little musical talent is shown. Lyrics to many of the songs are pointless and contrived.

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!!!
