I'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.

Absolutely 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 .

great 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!!!!

Perfect

System Rocks! almost as much as WEED Peace

It is awsome all of the songs on toxicity rule.

This cd kicks huge ass and if u dont like it yer retarded

Well, 9 is just fine for this album for the only reason that it may be brilliant but does not reach the perfection of theyr previous album AEnima(to wich I give a 10) Danny Carey is a very inspired artist and a scientist after all and Maynards voice is just a musical instrument that came out of heaven played by a performer tha came out of hell.I would like to make something clear here.Dream Theater Has not influenced tool at all.As a matter of fact,Dream theaters drummer states that his favorite band is tool and in the latest Dream theater album and in the album before that everybody can easily see the influence that AEnima (released in 1996) had on Dream theater.I didnt like the artwork much though...… Expand

The CD is a blaphemous and a slap in the face to anyone who know's Christ as Lord.

the best out there

This cd blows my mind! I've never heard anything quite like it. Fucking incredible!! I love hard rock music with changing tempos and this is the best of that kind i've ever heard by far.

a brilliant album. when i first saw them on kerrang i thought, Who the fuck r these? but then i listened to the song, witch happened to be toxicity, loved it, and brought the album next day!

System Of A Down rules this unholy world!!

Has the world gone mad? System Of A Down at their very best are mediocre and most of the time juvenile and even childish. Do yourself a favour and listen to Metallica or Tool instead.

This album rocks...period!!! the balence between the drums, guitar, and bass is awesome, not to mention the way it seems to come together with the vocals.

i love system of a down and diz album ... but i cant find any of their concertz???

umm i'm not quite sure wat's wrong with the people at "Uncut" but unless you're really close minded and have no general taste in music SOAD kicks ass. and so does this album. enough said.

My 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)

the album is totally superb never to be beaten by system or any other band for that matter

This is the only band i lisen to and the only one i will a true FAN here. There concert here in Tx on the 11th was the best I have seen from them yet and iI hope to see them agien real soon keep Rockin SOAD

not 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

I 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!

There 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,

this song is freaking awesome! SOAD is the best band ever! keep rockin' out yall!

if you've come this far and you liked the last album, you're wasting your time sitting here, go get it. From Hard Death to Light Melody in a single song, brilliant...

impossible to classify. they have come a long way since their first recording. The melodies have an almost comical feel, while touching on the gravest of issues. intense and brilliant

SOAD is a great rock band that still doesn't take them selves to seriously even with all their success.

system of a down has gone to another level with their music while still having the addicting sounds that made the first album great.

I LOVE IT. AND I LIVE FOR SYSTEM!!!! Every day i hear toxicity!!!! SYSTEM I LIVE FOR U!!!!! Its just to bad that system is not coming to denmark :o( BUt i still live/love them!!!!!!!!

Having seen System of a Down live and listened to their albums i fail to see how anyone can not like this fantastic and groundbreaking original band

This cd kix Azz!!

great material, with true meaningful lyriucs about what is really going on in the world, not like that mtv shit. Dont just listen to the music, but rather HEAR the message being given in the lyrics...soad forever...DOWN with the system!!!

i love this album and toxicitys music its not as boring as most bands out these days coz the music is so full on and fun to listen to . to toxicity keep up the good work and dont listen to the critics they dont know what they're on about!!!!!

Very original. Can't stop listening. Come out with more guys!

A must have for any fan of hard rock, System of a Down's Toxicity combines intense rhythms, great vocals, and incredibly well-done guitar and drum-work. The melody of a song can switch from slow and melodic to upbeat and loud in an instant. The lyrics are well written, and they touch on major issues such as drug use, homelessness and overcrowding, and police brutality. Bottom line: if you're a fan of rock, get this CD.… Expand

SICK!!!!!!!!

I think this album is one of the most brilliant albums anyone has put out.This album mixes metal and funk to create something (sic)

I LOVE SOAD! This is definalty the best CD out there!

This is best metal album i've ever stumbled over! It has some of the war at heavy metal style to it, but it's better because of the way they use there softer melodies. I wasn't going to buy it until I heard it when a person put it on in my school weight lifting gym, and now I cant stop listning to it!

sweet album,system of a down kix @$$!!!

Well basically all i have to say is that S.0.A.D like totally rock! They are way kewl and they are like so out there!!!!!

it's commercial, it's sellout and everyone who claim that it's a masterpiece you guys don't know music. There is thousands of bands(hardcore and metal) that are more energic more emotional and more fun to listen to. Just an example for you: Poison the Well

The best album I have heard in 10 years (Pearl Jam, Ten). This music certainly psyches you up on your way to work. Complete brilliance. The dynamics are close to matching Metlallica's "Master of Puppets".

I cry, when Angel`s deserves to die.

Anyone who states that this album is sellout must be retarded...........it ROCKS!!!

It's great-get it

Another one of the best albums I have ever owned. They must make another CD

I love both albums chop suey goes down a treat at the Crypt (club in Hastings)

i love this album my cd got broke

this is great!!!

Theres nothing i can say to do justice to this absoloutley awesome album! its the shit! the more I listen the more good it gets!

YEAH!

this is what we rock when we ride

Best album I have ever heard...buy it, you'll love it. I did

This album rocks and is the best of the year but it is not as good as there original album"system of a down" but it is still a great album

This album is really original, and I believe Uncut is clearly brainwashed by modern music, because their theatrical singing kicks ass! I've heard very few people do what SOAD has done and they deserve credit.

it's my fave band but denifintely not my fave cd of theirs, s.o.a.d self titled was much better but this one still kicks ass

this is absolutely brilliant! i picked up this album just for 'Aeriels' but got totally surprised by how great all of the other songs are! 'prison song' 'needles' and 'ATWA' are amazing but my fave is the unmissable 'Forest'. S.O.A.D i salute u

This album blows!! Anyone who takes this band seriously should be shot and flayed!! Rage Against the Machine will always be better than this crap!!

Toxicity best song everr!

Best Album Ever Made!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the best album ever made by anyone anytime .period

Didn'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.

i love this album i've had it since it came out and will never put it away

incredible album raising many...interesting topics

just FABULOUS

Wow... this is an awesome album. Seamlessly combining heavy metal with slight elements of punk and rap (minus the suck factor), they've created a masterpiece. Leading off with the insane "Prison Song", this album keeps you riveted until the final song (the suprisingly calm, bu still awesome, "Aerials"). This album (especially on hit single "Chop Suey!" and the title track) has some awesomely intense moments, and while it may not be as heavy as other metal albums, it still rocks out loud. Only thing keeping this away from a 10 is how it kinda drags in some places. Great job, SOAD.… Expand

Although 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!

This 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

amazing 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

GREAT ALBUM! i love it, best album ever heard! better than mezmerize, i think mezmerize is designed for mainstream, but toxicity is SOAD itself!

Amazing, so diverse. SOAD songs can jump from one place to another in an instant. Amazing melodies with the same "craziness" of the first album - best album yet of the 21st century.

Its crazy, just like it should be. Damned awesome.

the most original sound from a metal act that i have ever heard, it blew me away. it doesn't get any better than this

I was seduced by the amazing dynamics of Chop Suey! and decided to take a chance on this album which I knew would probably be the heaviest thing in my CD collection by far. I can't say I love it, but I still like it.

I really like this CD. It has 'fun' lyrics and informs us of things about prisons. All the songs are good. I skipped over none. If your into rock, you'll likely like it. But if you don't like some shouting here or there, then this is not for you.

The best album of the era!

Definately one of the best albums to be released in recent years. Hard yet harmonic, intense yet smooth. The kiddies love it and so they should.

This album kicks ass, im not into hard rock, but this is definitly an exeption, the vocals are theatrical, yet total make you want to "air gitar" - Must recomend as it will change the way most feel towards Rock/Metal especially with "Chop Suey" Keep Rocking Dan

best albulm since SLIPKNOT.

the best discovery of the decade, urge to move our body and spirit.

First album that i have heared in a while where i like ALL the tracks last one would have been "Master Of Puppets"

Awsome. Truely awsome. If "Bounce" doesn't get everyone at your local rock club onto the dancefloor and the DJ pogo-ing along aswell then I'll eat my copy of the album. With "Chop Suey!" and "Toxicity" they've surpassed the magnificence of Sugar. If the professional reviewers are so out of touch with what people actually want to listen to then I'm going to apply for a job! First class.… Expand

My oh my: can system be any better, i think they really lived up the fan expectaion, I belive this album proves the are a great band, my fav Aerials...very haunting

This Cd rulz!!

Yea.... this music rocks..... can't stop listining to it. It is really awesome and gives alot of great fun ;) I have to say that the lyrics are really well written and describes the war as it is....

This album is the BEST

kicks ass

This album is the BEST

FUCKING Amazing!!!! Awesome LYRICal stimulation as well as melodic interferences. I LOVE you SERj.

i wake up to it, playin' lloud on my stereo... and i go to sleep while i let it calm me down...

BEST DAMN CD IN THE WORLD

This album kicks a**!Best album of the year.

keep making records and I'll buy them

oh my god, i love this cd. it totally blows my mind. beyond any belief, this is probably 1 of my fave cds of all time

This Album shows their confidence with their unique style. Each song is a breathe of fresh air towards the monotiny of predicatable music. The drastic time changes give you a burst of andreline and a nice melodic cool down. Great Stuff.

GREAT CD , this cd was a masterpiece and surely to god one of the best cds of the year
