System Of A Down - Toxicity

Absolutely overrated band. I saw them live as Slayer's opening act in 1998, when her debut album came out. Totally boring, it sounds like they never knew what they wanted to be. Metal, pop, rap or opera artist. Their mix of pop, rap and metal, the ever-changing vocal style between clean-melodic, almost operational, jolting rap sounds is exhausting and boring. I never understood why this mediocre band was so hyped up everywhere. Here and there some good moments, but totally chaotic and boring. I tried listening to their albums, but after a few songs I got bored or I was annoyed and forced myself to stop the music. Yes, the style of the band is unique, no one sounds that way, but that's the only thing special about this band. Totally overrated, boring, mediocre band. Sorry to all fans, but that's my opinion. Some of my friends loved the band, I could never share their taste ...

I think they're the only decent band to come out of that late-90's nu-metal era. Not sure how you can label them for being boring. I saw them live once, on the Toxicity tour @ Brixton Academy. It was full of energy and a lot of fun.

I don't know what you're talking about I don't hear any Rap or pop in this.

I don't what you guys are talking about
every song here is awesome; from crazy (Forest , Prison Song) to melodic (ATWA , Aerials) and Chop Suey and Toxicity are just top notch songs
one of all-time metal masterpieces

This masterpiece belongs in the top 200

When people call this pop music you could call iron maiden and metallica pop music as well

21 yrs to one of the best SOAD work.

Still revisits and smashes.

Such a unique album for its time. SOAD were one of the first metal bands I got into and saved up my pocket money to buy all of their albums. This was always my favourite though.

9.4/10 for me - 'Prison Song', 'Chop Suey!', 'Toxicity' and 'Aerials' are the standout tracks. 'Needles', 'Deer Dance' and 'Shimmy' are all also great. 'Jet Pilot' is probably the weakest song.

This would almost be a 10/10 if it were not for Psycho and Jet Pilot, they're not bad songs, but not up to par with the rest of the album.

Great production, fun riffs and unique songwriting. Clean and harsh vocals, slow parts and fast parts. Brilliant record.

23 years to this beautiful fucking gem. Still stands as one of the best alternative metal album of all time.

I used to listen soad a lot and it was fun. Now that I have gotten older, maybe I'm not fun because this has gotten quite annoying to me. There is so much changes from good parts to really terrible parts and especially ''Bounce'' is god awful.

I still like ''Chop Suey!'' of course, it's a classic. Also ''Aerials'' still work. The rest have too many bad parts for me to enjoy fully. I have noticed this from KoRn too. Some great songs that I still enjoy but the rest is pretty much garbage.

I BUY MY CRACK MY SMACK MY BITCH RIGHT HERE IN HOLLYWOOD

Maybe the best to come out of Nu-Metal. While I like all SOAD records I would say this is their best.

Prison Song, Forest, ATWA, Science, Shimmy, Toxicity, Psycho and Aerials are all masterclass songs and then there is Chop Suey! - What a banger. It´s in my Top 100 favorite songs list.

I agree with some here: The weakest song is Jet Pilot - but well .... "weak".
