JohnRAug 24, 2004This is a really good album, but I didn't quite follow what they were talking about in that song 'Jet Pilot' I like nearly every song on here but they could be a little more direct with some of their messages. -Peace/Rock Out!

AndrewM.Jul 13, 2004My favorite bands are probably Radiohead and Modest Mouse, but System of a Down is really something different. I really really like this cd. It is very chaotic and unrestrained by boundaries that hold other albums (such as following a predictable music pattern)

RyanRAug 25, 2003Great album. Haven't listend to Steal This Album or the original but this got me hooked. My complaints are that some of the songs seem to have no point (like Pogo). And others are done and over with so fast I could cry. I know, quick review but, rants aside, this is a kick ass album.

PulahkCNov 9, 2002SYSTEM OF A DOWN is no doubt one of the best bands ever. All the songs on the album have great instrumentals and brilliant messages! God bless these Armenians! P.S.: "aomb.k", you brain-dead goof, this is a site aboutSystem Of A Down, not Tool or Dream Theater!

AlysiaS.Aug 24, 2002If the soul is a garden, System of a Down is the very earth itself.

AlinaB.Aug 23, 2002This album is the best that I've ever heard in my life. I could listen to it ten times a day and never get bored with it.

JohnCJul 23, 2002No other album can touch this other than maybe Ride the Lightning and Master of Puppets by Metallica. Toxicity incorporates metal, high tempos, intensity, creativity, and well written guitar and drum rifts like no other

-
TJWilliamsJul 17, 2002A good album, no doubt, but nowhere near the energy of their self-titled debut. The uncut review, however, is simply absurd. They lost a bit of edge in Toxicity and traded it for melody. Either way, they do more with metal than any other band out there. The Dead Kennedys of Metal...

DrGlockJul 15, 2002System of a Down has re-inspired my passion for fast, angry, aggressive heart pounding metal. Combining skate punk, thrash, ska, and metal to a unique and individual sound, this is easily my #1 album of 2002!

Awards & Rankings

When System's at their best, the Los Angeles four-piece evokes most vividly punk politicos the Dead Kennedys.... Yet the band sputters out when the lyrics are awash in vagueness.
-
UncutToxicity is virtually unlistenable: thrash metal splintered into a million pieces by unnecessary time changes, topped off with excruciatingly theatrical vocals. [Dec 2001, p.118]
-
Cast in layers upon layers of aural intricacy, Toxicity charters new frontiers, yet it’s still grinding rock at its most deafening.
