Jan 26, 2023Hello, this is a default review because i'm forced to use 75 characters. I'll edit this review in the future talking about the game, don't worry ;)
My final rate is: 10 -
Feb 9, 2022Guitarist Daron Malakian's voice is much more prominent. It is much more different and pop compared to other albums. Still a great album

Jul 12, 2015What is this abomination? This album disgraces what System of A Down stands for. Mezmerize was at least listenable, or decent, but this is pure **** Complete and absolute **** Vicinity of Obscenity? What the hell was that? The lyrics are so bad! Probably the worst album they've ever come out with out.

Dec 22, 2012Hypntize and Attack are the big reason this album is alive. Mostly Hypnotize.

May 21, 2012This album kicks all kinds of ass! Every song on this album had me either bobbing my head, or screaming to the lyrics. I cannot express the joy this album brings me. A 10 would be an understatement for this album, and I love this album more than all the others by System of a Down.

Feb 18, 2012The follow-up to Mezmerize is a solid album but is less inventive and not quite as intelligent. A few bland songs hold it back but the overall product is still solid.

Dec 9, 2011I just dont like System now, They are far too mainstream. This album is too similar to Mezmerize and it doesnt feature that many good tracks, Its just a generic rock/metal album.
-
Nov 24, 2011The best album behind Toxicity. Hypnotize gives plenty of good tracks and just a good album overall that once again establishes System as one of the best metal bands out there.
-
Sep 10, 2011Think of this as MEZMERIZE: VOLUME II. It continues with the craziness and unbelievable insanity...but it's not as good as much else by System of a Down.

yoGJul 30, 2006Awesome album.Better than 10 out of 10.Holy Mountains is the best song ever written.
-

ChrisJMay 5, 2006Superb. Loses its way a little between Holy Mountains and Soldier Side but the class shines through. If I ever hear a better song than Holy Mountains I'll consider myself very lucky..........still prefer Mezmerize though.

donnaFeb 21, 2006not bad, not bad at all. their mixture of goth and funk has proven itself to be sellable.

ConnorFeb 17, 2006This album is just one smash hit after another. I can never get enough of it. After hearing one good song I go to hear another, but then another good one comes on and I can't turn back.

KyleLFeb 10, 2006VERY upsetting! I loved 'Toxicity', but SOAD is getting out of control. I absolutely hated this album.

BillboardNot that the band's blend of metal; world music; jagged, breakneck rhythms; and non sequitur lyrics don't still connect, but it is nowhere near as dazzling as it was on its first two go-arounds. [26 Nov 2005]
-
Entertainment WeeklyIt's a strange brew that may not be everyone's cup of tea; still, there's no denying these cats have their singular system down pat. [25 Nov 2005, p.100]
-
Los Angeles Times"Hypnotize" has some of the circus-is-in-town surrealism that links System to the Frank Zappa avant-rock tradition, but overall it's more of a fundamental rock album. [20 Nov 2005]
