#The best system of a down album free#

Here we see Serj speedily throwing one violent and whacked out image after another over Shavo's rumbling bassline. The third track Sugar has that same insanity without the religious undertones. It just feels like every member of the band were completely out of their minds but still angry about religion. Starting off with the screeching riff on the first track Suite-Pee, the song disolves into a 2 minutes 30 second long rant about female jesus accompanied with Daron's guitar going from pounding to bouncing and high pitched, and of course this song has one of soad's heaviest moments at the one minute mark. Their debut album is probably their weirdest, scariest, and heaviest record to date (which is saying a lot), even to the point where Google labels it as 'Avant-garde metal'. Overall a solid album but too many less than decent or downright forgettable tracks dragging it down. Holy mountains is also a beautifully haunting track, and I love of the contrast of the intense screams of 'LIAR KILLER DEMON' in contrast with the hypnotic guitar riff. There also some fantastic gems here, like Vicinity of Obscenity and She's like Heroin, two stellar songs which in my opinion lead into each other very well. Lonely Day has one of Daron's best solos, and is just kind of soad taking a step back and saying вЂњcome on, we canвЂ™t be batshit crazy all the timeвЂќ. Soldier Side gives me goosebumps every time I give it a listen, especially the chorus, вЂњThey were crying when their sons left, God is wearing black, heвЂ™s gone so far to find the truth heвЂ™s never coming back.вЂќ And while itвЂ™s not exactly underrated, I feel like it should get more respect/attention.

This album has a lot of star power though Lonely Day, Soldier Side, and the title track are all fantastic songs. In my opinion, Kill Rock n Roll and U-Fig could have not been on the album, and while some of the other songs are far from bad (Dreaming, Stealing Society, Tentative, Attack), they do feel a bit underwhelming. The second half of the hypnotize/mezmerize double album suffers from a similar issue STA did too many forgettable tracks. I'd listen to these songs any day, but in the context of their other albums, there's no doubt in my mind that STA is the runt of the litter.) But there's too many subpar tracks here, like Fuck the System, 36, Boom!, A.D.D, etc. Jack, the epic chorus of I-E-A-I-A-I-O, the beauty of Roulette. Jack, Roulette and Innervision are even highlights for me. Again, these songs are still fine, even good songs like I-E-A-I-A-I-O, Mr. And while I commend soad for having a sense of humor about it with the title, they really couldn't bounce back songwise. And you get this feel listening to it for a reason most of these songs were leaked onto the web prior to being officially released under the name 'toxicity 2', hence the name 'Steal this album!'. This thing really feels like a random collection of songs more than a cohesive piece. SoadвЂ™s most disjointed album, no doubt about it. Also, keep in mind I love all soad albums, this list is just for fun.

Keep in mind this is just my opinion, and please feel free to respectfully post yours.

In this list I will be ranking every officially released soad album (so no storaged melodies) from worst to best.
