  • Summary: Not the true follow-up to 'Toxicity' that fans were hoping for, 'Steal This Album' instead consists of outtakes from that 2001 album, originally leaked on the Internet in rough versions and now polished up for release on CD.

    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.

    System of a Down are definitely the greatest band of all time. Each album brings something new to the table, and what they do bring is always amazing. "Steal This Album!" does not fail to impress, and always leaves you wanting to start the CD over again. Each song is memorable, and you cannot listen to a song, and not hum the tune of the next one when it is finished.… Expand

    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
