I used to really be into SOAD when I was about 16, I remember buying the self titled album before anyone knew who were they were as a blind buy when it came out.. do not know why, just looked interesting to me. Now I find them kinda laughable. They are in terms of politics no more than a poor mans RATM.

Self-titled I may put on sometimes for nostalgia sake though.

I think Daron came up with some decent riffs, especially on the first album.... but Serj gets on my nerves to much, and I can not stand their songwriting. I find it to be too "quirky" for it's own good.

Toxicity, listening to it now... just doesn't hold up for me as being the great album I thought it was when it came out. Once again, some good playing.. but not a fan of the songwriting.

They just don't do much for me anymore.
