Album Notes System Of A Down: Serj Tankian (vocals, keyboards, samples); Daron Malakian (guitar, background vocals); Shavo Odadjian (bass); John Dolmayan (drums).Additional personnel: Rick Rubin (piano).Principally recorded at Sound City, Van Nuys, California.System of a Down sees itself as being an integral part of a new musical revolution of heavy music. On the surface, the band's manifesto seems tangential to Rage Against the Machine's; but musically SOAD is a groove-metal machine, with a sound that incorporates a punk ethic, Panteraesque riffs, and a schizophrenic vocal approach reminiscent of Mike Patton. Like a dose of chicken soup for a disconnected moshing youth, SYSTEM OF A DOWN is unrelenting. "Sugar" segues from neo-jazz verses into pounding thrash-core choruses. "Spiders" shows more depth, dynamics, and even poetic, melodic vocals. The production of the album is raw and very close to that of a live album, surely a deliberate stroke by producer Rick Rubin (who has put many metal bands on the map under his guidance). On "Soil," vocalist Serj Tankian questions the ideology of democracy. With possibly more conspiracy theories than an episode of THE X-FILES, System of a Down explores the concept of mass influence through technology in "War?" The essence of SYSTEM OF A DOWN can be found in "P.L.U.C.K"; the song's title says it all, an acronym for "politically lying, unholy, cowardly killers."

Reviews  Raw Metal, the best begining!Review created: 09/11/06 by:  1 of 1 people found this review helpful. This album is great! If you like other SOAD songs like 'this cocaine makes me feel like i'm on this song' or 'mr. jack' then you will love this. This is the heaviest of all the SOAD albums and is very raw. It has the singles Sugar, War? and Spiders. If you are a fan of SOAD, a collector or just a fan of heavy music, this is for you. Review ID: 10000000002319839 Was this review helpful?
