    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.

    It was ok. I did like some tracks but most of them I didnt. System re-invented themselves once again and it proves that no matter what, You can always find a new sound and I think it works well for them.

    System of a Down's worst album, it's still a decent album that anyone could listen to but it sounds repetitive and it's definitely not in the same league as their eponymous album, Toxicity or Mezmerize.

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

    Steal This Album is still not the perfect SOAD album, but it's by far their most realized yet.

    Many of ''Album's'' tunes work as vibrant stand-alone compositions, which not only makes this an impressive disc but also makes ''Toxicity'' seem all the more masterful: Even the rejects sound pretty damn great.
