    Like playlouder said, this could be one of the most important albums of the upcoming year. Although I am still having a bit of trouble getting all the lyrics because of Serj Tankian's dynamic vocals, this album seems to be a mix of political, emotional and fun. Great album, I love these guys. Definitely the best rock band out now by far.

    System is always true to their style of music, they may be wierd, but true fans can appreciate the hard, but melodic songs that they put out. The songs not only display talent, but they put out messages that the band wants to put out without conforming. They are a great band and I hope to see them in a smaller show again like maybe at Roseland where true fans can show up, go f'in System is always true to their style of music, they may be wierd, but true fans can appreciate the hard, but melodic songs that they put out.

    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.

    This album is the shiznit son. I heard S.o.a.d made 3 c.ds and released them at the same time they released steal this album. System of a Down is by far the best c.d. iv'e listened to in a long time.

    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.
