Anyone have thier new cd? I don't have it yet, but I plan on getting it. B.Y.O.B. is rockin', and Cigaro is good too, but that's all I've heard. If you listen to S.O.A.D, you should know that their lyrics are very political, so tell me if you agree with most of thier stands. Call me a commie, but I agree with most of the things they say in thier music. I've been listening to Toxicity lately, and I just got thier first cd, System of a down. Hoping to get "Steal this album!" From toxicity, either DeerDance, or Needles is my favorite. Offa System of a Down, I like "War?", DDdevil", "Darts", and Soil. If you haven't heard B.Y.O.B. yet, go to systemofadown.com They stream it forever.

My mate Ant loves the new CD, and Hog thinks it's fairly good, so probably worth your time.
I'm a bit lukewarm on SOAD, but I think some of their stuff is pretty damn good.

Brits, I can't remember what song it is, but they have a track where the middle sounds exactly like the Club Singer Round on Shooting Stars

I love S.O.A.D!
I saw them live at Download festival last weekend they were AMAZING!
I've been listening to all the albums non-stop since I got back

I have got their new CD. And I do like their music.

But.

I am ashamed to admit it, because those guys remind me of Al Qaida.

They're alright. I wouldn't have even listened to them if a friend of mine didn't adore them. BYOB is probably their most decent song in my opinion.

Their new album is overrated, but I love System Of A Down, Toxicity is one of the best albums ever. ^_^

I have every system cd

not my favorite ever, really, but I like them.

The lyrics are my favorite part, most definitely.

Steal this album wasn't good.

From what ive hear mesmerise is good.
but its no Toxicity.

and the next person to sing B.Y.O.B. is getting ten stones of human flesh and bones jumping on them.
im sick of it already.

I was listening to BYOB ages and ages ago, then everyone found out about it and started listening to it. The love I had for that song went down the pan quickly. Heh.

The songs on Toxicity are sheer brilliance, but the songs on Mesmerise don't quite reach that level in my opinion. Still good though. But like I said, overrated.

I love love LOVE System of a Down. I haven't gotten a chance to listen to the new album (my brother bought it saying that he would let me borrow it, but he hasn't let go of it for one second since he got it) but I have heard a few of the songs. BYOB isn't my very favorite of theirs, but I do like it. I like most of the songs you listed (Deer Dance, Soil, Ddevil, War?) as well as Chop Suey, Toxicity, Prison Song, and Sugar.

I really like SOAD... I sometimes consider them my new Rage Against The Machines :cry:

(I miss them so...) Sad Statue sounds pretty good along with thers already listed but i'm still on the fence when it comes to the album.... still gonna get it though.

just occured to me what the song is about too

totally off the mark on that one, but i guess its all subjective anyways.

I like System of a Down. I've got the self-titled album, Toxicity, and Steal This Album, but not the new one. The three I do have, though, are really good, though. I especially like the song Chic N' Stu for some reason that I'm not sure of.
