album mt bom, agora só escrever pra passar dos 75 caracteres. -
Jan 7, 2023hello this is the best album of system of a down on my opinion because i like it so much more than jdvnjasornicv gnsdvufb gvosdu hvngcsdfhkvng oairuencuvw

May 11, 2022The album attacks numerous plights of American society. The band, filled with immigrants and children of immigrants, speak of America in a way that citizens with deeper roots are afraid to say. They speak for the marginalized, giving them a voice they otherwise wouldn’t have.

Feb 8, 2022I think this album is the best album of the 21st century. Chop suey and Toxicity are extremely clevery made songs. The lyrics of this album are way too good compared to other metal bands (except for "Jet pilot"). This albums songs never gets boring. I think even God is listening to this masterpiece

Best songs: Toxicity, Chop Suey!, Aerials
Worst songs: - -
Apr 28, 2021This album is iconic, the more I listen to it the more I like it. The hits (Chop Suey, Toxicity) are some of the best in the genre. Every song is very good at the very least.

Feb 3, 2019An out-and-out masterpiece of alternative metal, System of a Down's sophomore album was a breath of fresh air amid an ocean of cringeworthy rap rock verses and down-tuned two-note riffs.
-
Aug 5, 2018Amazing
This band never made a bad track in my opinion , Toxicity is an amazing album along with their others
Definitly recommend -

Jun 4, 2017They're best album next to "Mezmerize"! Epic from start to finish! "Prison Song", "Chop Suey", "Bounce", "Forest", "ATWA", "Toxicity" and "Aerials" are my favourite songs! But of course all of the songs are perfect in so many ways, but coming from SOAD that's not surprising!
-
Mar 26, 2017Most of the songs may well be in the same key of Cm, and most of the songs arguably sound very similar. But in my opinion, this album proves that that isn't always a bad thing. This album is up there within my top 5 favourite albums ever!

Oct 16, 2016Шедевр. Благодаря этому альбому узнал об этой группе,с тех пор она одна из моих любимых.

Jun 5, 2016I love this album! This represents real thrash metal. Every song is the best!. Their music is really tense and well made by the band. I wouldn't say this album is perfect because no album is perfect. This is just terrific!
-
Dec 19, 2015System of a Down is one of those bands whose style appeals to me in multiple ways. This means that a large amount of their songs, I will enjoy and probably have somewhere on my playlist. However, this is not my favorite System of a Down album, but they did do a great job on this album. The main problem is Arto, which I didn't enjoy. But other than that, the album was stellar.

Feb 4, 2015An awesome album coming from a guy who isn't into Alternative Metal. This album has 14 awesome and catchy songs which can get stuck in your head for awhile, this album has some of the bands best songs such as Chop Suey!, Toxicity, and Prison Song. Thanks to this band I am now officially in love with System of a Down so if you like Alternative Metal then I recommend this album big time.

Oct 23, 2014Incredible!, One of the best albums ever i love it!, the best songs are "Chop Suey!", "Toxicity" And "Prison Song", Extremely awesome!!!!!!!! I Love System Of A Down
-
Dec 12, 2013this is my favorite album, simply the best
System of a Down is very amazing
I know this album backwards and not ing me this strange work
**** the system -

Jul 14, 2013The best album of all times, just amazing...different from anything I've heard before...deep, melodic and epic piece of artwork...no one will ever come close to this perfection, even SOAD
-
Jun 16, 2013Shut up and listen
-
Mar 11, 2013Note to readers System of a Down's first album is by far my favorite album by them, so these other albums are great but if I say there the best band ever but give their other cds 8s or 7s now you know. Any way this album provides many great songs in sound and meaning. Though some songs get older than others, this cd should be pleasing to many audiences.
-
Dec 22, 2012This album is crazy. Chop Suey! (regardless if anyone hates it) is probably the best song ever. Aerials is amazing as well. gReat job.
-
Jul 4, 2012every song have single potential and with a classic include in the album like chop suey i love all the minutes hearing it. its one of the best rock albums of recent memory
-
Apr 26, 2012Aww yeah love SOAD! They are such an amazing band!!! Every song is good!! Metal all the way! Woo Hoo!! Serj and Daron collaborate very nicely. Beautiful ending "Aerials"
-
Apr 21, 2012One of the best metal albums of the 21st century. System of a Down is the most melodically-sound metal band on the planet and they manage to create great songs without ever sounding repetitive. Anyone who says otherwise is either a) a hipster/douchebag or b) an idiot.
-
Mar 17, 2012
-
Mar 5, 2012This is system of a downs worst album but it is still one of those albums where you can enjoy every track and can't resist the urge to listen to it again.
-
Feb 13, 2012A really solid, rockin' metal album. Almost every single song is a good one. Toxicity could quite possibly be one of the greatest metal songs ever written. Great, great album.
-
Nov 29, 2011I think it was a great album. System has really re-invented theirselves with this album and it worked out for the better. This is a must listen to for any fan of metal.
-
Nov 24, 2011Toxicity official establishes System as one of the best metal bands out today. I liked nearly every track off the album and it is easily their best album.
-
Nov 17, 2011My only problem with Toxicity is the lyrics being way too repetetive (most noticable in the song "Science")and songs being too short. What really bothered me though, was the almost-unlistenable screaming done in the choruses of some songs. But the instrumentals are amazing and the song's verses do have some great rhythem. It's not terrible, but it's nowhere near perfect.
-
Sep 10, 2011I love this album. It's most certainly System of a Down at their very, very best...and very, very craziest. Some of this is actually funny, but I think it's intended that way.
-
Aug 3, 2011i like every song in this album they are all crazy and experimental. but you still get that nu-metal feeling sometimes .but i am a bit disappointed WHY ISNT THIS ALBUM A MUCH LONGER. i mean its soo short
-
Jul 28, 2011great album i especially liked aeriels, toxicity, and chop suey but i think that this is SOADs best album. BTW this album deserves way more than a **** 7.3!!!!
-
Jun 23, 2011Absolutely brilliant metal record. A must. A perfect mix of amazing riffs, good rhythms and expressive feelings, especially with songs like Chop Suey, Toxicity or the sweet closing title Aerials .
-
Jun 5, 2011I've never hated a single song by System really.
This is one of their greatest albums in my opinion.
And Chop Suey has mixed views on what the lyrics mean.
One being it's about the "Angels" being the "Good" people who look away from those whose lives have been destroyed.
The other being about Jesus. -
Jan 13, 2011Every song on the album sounds great to my ears and nobody else sounds close to their greatness of alternative metal and great vocals by the two singers.
-
Dec 30, 2010I was rather late to the System of a Down party, only discovering them a few years ago and I loved this album, this is a great album and I strongly recommend this to metal-heads and others alike.
-
AlonsoCJun 26, 2009Toxicity and Mezmerize are their best albums, Toxicity was their first great hit, they just made a great work on it, with Toxicity, Aerials, Chop Suey!, the 3 singles, the Cd becomes one of the greatest metal albums for me.
-
-
jimsJul 21, 2008I love this cd it is perfect and could be SOAD's best album i'd pay $100 for it i think the best song is Chop Suey! (which is going to be in Rock Band 2!) if you don't own it you need to buy this!

JoelCOct 31, 2007This album gets 10 on Chop Suey and Forest alone, no joke. Add in 12 bonus tracks that are nearly equally as good and voila.
-
-
JiriV.Oct 25, 2007The essential album by SOAD. One of best albums of this century so far regardless the musical style. The mirror facing our era. Hard, funny, creative, melodical.
-
-
DeclanA.Oct 8, 2007This has to be one of my favourite albums of all time. It's exhilarating from start to finish, and Serj's voice is amazing. You can listen to it again and again and get the same rush you did first time listening to it. Out of this world
-
-
JoshuaS.Sep 21, 2007The guy who wrote the article for Uncut: Just shut up, just fucking shut up! it's quite clear some of the reviewers don't like metal bands from the new millennium at all so they might as well not bother reviewing if they already have a pessimistic preconception
-
-
RonAug 17, 2007A step down from the debut, while brilliant nonetheless. The hits were great (Toxicity, Aerials), and it had a few more gems (Deer Dance, Forest, Prison Song), but the other half, especially the first few tracks are a disappointment. The aforementioned strong points pull it up to a 9. And FYI, this isn't the "debut", Mithyus. 2nd Best System CD.
-
-
FrankH.May 28, 2007This band rocks my sox and floats my boat. I can Play the whole album on my Fender Strat 100th Anniversary.
-
-
MithyusApr 16, 2007As a debut, Toxicity transmitted System of a Down perfectly; powerful, moving, and deep. This is definitely not a band for everyone, but the ones who let the sound take over won't ever let go of it. Chop Suey!, ATWA, Toxicity and Aerials shine here.
-
-
MoritzB.Apr 6, 2007GREAT ALBUM! i love it, best album ever heard! better than mezmerize, i think mezmerize is designed for mainstream, but toxicity is SOAD itself!
-
-
TaylorKMar 20, 2007this song is freaking awesome! SOAD is the best band ever! keep rockin' out yall!
-
-
jamesoFeb 9, 2007amazing record. from "prison song" to "aerials" SOAD takes you for a hell of a ride. if there's a top 5 albums of this century so far, this is easily in the top 5
-
-
JonDNov 8, 2006Pefect, the best System album out. This cd flows brilliantly, the melodic songs is their best work the punk songs are real hardcore punk with good lyrics. and the hard stuff is as fast and hard as you can ask for... at least for me.

Myles#13Sep 6, 2006This is the album that first brought me to the band... Toxicity is one of the best metal albums ever created. SOAD has truly created their own energetic, phenomenal sound that sadly does not get enough airplay. Best album to listen to when driving... EVER! Fav songs are 'Chop Suey', 'Toxicity' and 'Aerials' although I LOVE the entire album!
-
-
JacobSAug 15, 2006Thier greatest album to date! Haunting melodies, very political lyrics that you normally doesn't see in this genre, and Serj's voice is the most amazing on the planet! 10/10
-
-
EleanorDApr 19, 2006Although it's not their best piece of work, haunting melodies, socially aware/"quacky" lyrics, and crushing riffs make this album absolutely incredable. Good work, mad professors!
-
-
MattSApr 3, 2006There best album! Its fast paced! Amazing! Stylish! And funny too! Any metal fan would agree it's amazing!! I wouldn't class it as "nu-metal" though. Fuck that uncut guy he has no sese! Anyway, great album! Soil, P.L.U.C.K, peephole and suite-pee = amazig,
-
-
ZyXomMar 4, 2006I LOVE this CD! So good, and so thinkable (does it exist? lol)! Chup Suey's my favorite, and I CANT understand how u can give 30/100 to this CD. It maybe the best ever from Soad. Well, for now, its my favorite!
-
-
TomRFeb 19, 2006Anyone with any appreciation of good metal will agree... this is one of the best metal albums ever... I don't know what that "Uncut" journalist was listening to but it surely wasn't this... his ears seem to deceive him.

EinoillakylLJan 14, 2006Their greatest album.

eatmenowJan 12, 2006not enouf reviews to give it justice aerials toxicity chop suey prison song needles deer dance bounce and all the others is stunning there arnt enough reviews from critics above to do justice to this masterpiece systems best work to date
-
-
JohnLDec 23, 2005Two words 'get it'. The highlights are Chop suey!, forest, aerials and prison song. It's also got a deeper meaning than a rock CD. Great album.
-
-
stevennDec 16, 2005My 2nd SOAD album and by far the best, it delivers some of the greatest songs uttered from the group inculding ATWA, Aerials, and Chop Suey!

NickPOct 12, 2005It makes me mad how stupid critics are, Toxicity is definitely System's best album. They seem to like each cd better as it becomes more pop.

RockManJun 15, 2005If they let me choose my own rating i would give the band and the album an infinate amount of numbers like a 1,000,000,000,000,.........This is the best kick ass rock band and album of all time.If you don't love or even like this band you are the most retarded person on this universe.System of a down RULES!

MCJun 1, 2005Best album I ever bought. Great from beginning to end.
-
-
FreddyTeddyApr 27, 2005One of the worst albums i ever bought. It had three good songs (Chop Suey, Toxicity, Aerials), but all the rest is chaotic, badly written and the lyrics are pure crap. Can't believe i wasted my money on this album.
-
-
rockalternativeApr 19, 2005Perfect Cd All The Time!

carinbApr 11, 2005this album fuckin kicked ass! i dunno what the other guys thinkin but he should be shot. any1 who puts down soad is just plain retarded. no1 better than soad. love em to death. oh- and im sorry if any of that sounded "childish"

-
-
JeffRJan 31, 2005Didn't like the album at first, but has grown slightly on me in the last couple months. Lyrically, some of the songs are just childish. Musically, some songs are well put together, others are a waste of time. Mediocre. There is better stuff out there.
-
-
nateJan 30, 2005at least some of THESE peeps have taste unlike the guys and gals reviewing limp bizkit (that pissed me and my friend jake off).system of a down reigns as the kings of rock as we speak and i cant wait for the new cd.soad kicks all kinds of ass and so does limp bizkit!!

DumDumJan 10, 2005Best Album Ever Made!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
-
DylanJan 1, 2005i can't quite fathom the opposition. this is everything that is great in metal. metal is all about distinct change, otherwise it would be boring and repetitive. i love the change. and the lyrics are great, metaphorical, symbolical. the best thing about this cd is that it has the catchiness to be great for first time listeners and the depth to be interesting again and again.

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.
