Advantages: Original, heavy, refreshing

Disadvantages: Nothing as far as I'm concerned. You might get confused when you hear them singing about mushroom people. Truly brilliant lyrics

With so many metal bands emerging these days, it would have been too easy for System of a Down to fall into the trap of attempting to impersonate (and failing) one of the big few that dominate the current scene. It's fortunate for us then that they have avoided this road and have chosen to come up with something much more original.

The band are fiercly political and they blast out their messages and opinions very well. They are truly unique - the vocals are just excellent, they range from goth like singing, to death metal grunts to almost cartoonish screams. Sugar is one of the highlights, and the first time you hear it you'll be thinking 'what did he just say?' it is fab. Spiders is one of the best tracks and stands out from the others as it is slower and sounds beautifuly haunting. The music has many influences, you can find bits of jazz in here mixed up with the punky metal sound. The band are Armenian / American and are obviously influenced by a range of different stlyes.

I loved this the minute I heard it, although I think some people may not take to it straight away.
Some people think this band is insane, but are there borders between insanity and genius? Not here. They aren't gonna be a mass popular band as they are too different for some people. With this album, however, the band have attained a cult status.
