System Of A Down in general Reviews

Music to die too, not too die for... - Advantages: Individual Music Style - Disadvantages: Depressing Songs

I went to see System of a Down play at the Brixton Academy on the 27th of March I booked my tickets in December and was looking forward to it. When I arrived there was a really long queue around the Academy but we made friends and jumped (sorry all the people behind). When we got in there we waited until the Dillger Escape Plan got on. I know ...

Firstly I’ll say I’ve been looking forward to this concert for months and months, as it had postponed after September 11th. Finally the day was upon us and I was wetting my pants in excitement. I got to the Academy at 7.30, when the doors were due to open, and the queue was massive. I’ve been to the Academy a few times and never ...

After the first system of a down album was released there was a huge acclaim coming from the band that where being classed as the future of rock. I didnt truly believe this until I recently bought their new album 'toxicity' which also had HUGE rating and aclaim pulled behind its substance. When first listening to it I thought that it was killer ...

OK OK, I admit this is actually a review of their 2nd album, Toxicity - but I've been waiting two months since I asked to get it on and I'm kinda out of patience. Why is it so hard to get music added??? Rant over :) System of a Down = mad. Bizarrely political lyrics over, well, frankly nutter headbanging mayhem. Chief ...

System of a down have been out for a long time now and therefore I had heard of them, but it wasn’t until last night that I heard a song called Chop suey then I realized just how good they are. Were talking 5 star here, I mean how the hell have they not been played too often. Chop suey is proberly the best song I have ever heard. Theres ...

Despite being plagued by tonsilitis seeing S.O.A.D live was awesome!! It was a while ago now (Dec.99) but i thought maybe my views would be worth something to someone if they were thinking of seeing SOAD for themselves! The support acts wobbled between extremely poor to bearable/listenable, they were The Bardo and Apartment26 ( one band ...

System of a Down is a band thats been touring for a while, but is just starting to get popular nowadays. Alternative radio for some reason decided they were trendy and started playing their song, "Sugar". System of a Down is an awesome band, who's unique sound has characterized them as major up and comers in the metal ...

System of a Down, the worlds finest pioneers of Armenian grindcore have emerged with one of the best debut albums ever to be dismissed as latching onto the 'rap metal' scene. Opening with the suitably noisy 'suite-pee', a song with two changes in tempo, the lyrics 'die die die why' and 'the enemy, her name was ...

System of a down are a rarity in the world of commercial heavy metal, they are a band who see to be able to instead of jumping on the back of a the latest fad have created for themselves a really innovative and interesting sound. They draw from many tastes in cluding traditional folk songs of their culture and heavy metal influences spiked with a ...

Well, maybe my title is a bit of an exaggeration, but System really are an excellent band. The lyrics are amusing, the choruses catchy and guitars heavy! I saw them play at the Astoria in December 1999 and they were brilliant. As a live act I would rate them highly because they knew how to stir up the crowds and which songs to play to get the mosh ...

Yes it's Sugar!!! One one my all time favourite Sytem of a Down songs! The heavy and highly moshable song is so cool, I love the funny lyrics, (well I think they are anyway!) I love the way the vocals are so textured, they way they shreik, talk shout etc. I cannot say that I am a huge follower of Sytem of a Down, but this song totally ...

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. ...

System of a Down (SOAD) are a band that have many different styles to their music. They are classed under heavy metal but there is in fact a lot more variation in the music. They have punk, goth, speed metal, hardcore and rapcore influences that blend together to make a very strange but attractive combination. The band members are of ...
