    The tracks on Steal come off as much more assured and comfortable than those on Toxicity. [Jan 2003, p.81]

    This could be one of the most important records of the year.

    Few bands are better equipped to release an odds-and-sods record such as Steal This Album!, because SOAD songs already seem like bits and pieces of different songs welded and held together through sheer force of will.

    This was not as good as I expected. It's no TOXICITY, but it's fun, crazy, and insane. I love System of a Down. They're so great and amazing. No doubt about it.… Expand
