I've always had a bit a of a hard on for Serj's vocal style. He can be operatic and he can also bellow the house down if he wants to, one of the most distinctive vocals styles I've ever heard.
I've no doubt the "are they Nu Metal?" debate will come into play very soon, I for one don't see how they can be regarded as such, they simply have too many styles in their music to just be classified as simple nu metal.
Anyway, my personal fave album is their self titled debut, just a very chaotic release and very heavy and aggressive whilst having some crazy ass lyrics and compelling songwriting.
SUGAR!!!!!!!!

Written by [user id=4365] on 23.06.2016 at 22:04 I was also big into System from about five to ten years ago (and had I made a post like this back then it would've been much weirder and much worse, haha). I still love SoaD as well, and still listen to Toxicity and their debut every now and then. I will admit that I'm liking Steal This Album more than I used to. Used to be my least favorite, but now I'm feeling like Hypnotize and Mesmerize are not as good as I remember them being, and STA is actually better than either of those. Still, nothing from their post-Toxicity stuff beats "Needles", "Forest", or "Aerials". Still my favorite System tracks.

Forest really really is great. It's the classic SOAD craziness, but muffled and controlled to make a really unsettling song. Probably one of their best songs ever. Every album they have put out is great. They are amazing songwriters who keep a streamlined sound that fits the radio but still have a crazy amount of energy and love experimentation. I'm really hyped to see what their future albums will be like. Serj's voice sounds the exact same as he did 14 years ago, and they had a lot of time to relax and think, so this can only be good.

I must admit, not really given System Of A Down much of a listen since I got into the more extreme metal, but when they got confirmed for Download Festival I decided to give the first two albums another spin and I really fell in love with them again cannot wait to see them later in the year. Not entirely sure what I think about the prospect of a new album, because a lot of comeback albums fail to reach the standard of their predecessors. Either way though, going to be a laugh in June!
