I love Hypnotize. Soldier Side is great, I love the lyrics.

Lonely Day is great musically, but the lyrics are a bit ****e. The solo rules though..

Hypnotised or Mesmerized

Well I Got Hypnotize The Day It Came Out And I Love It
Every Song Is As Good As I Had Hoped
I Had Been Listenin To It A Week Before Release On Mtv The Leak So I Knew Wot To Expect
I Love Soad
My Fave At The Moment Is Between Tentative And Kill Rock N Roll
They Are Amazing Songs
Dont Bad Mouth Soldier Side As It Is An Amazing Song And Fuels So Much Passion And Truth. Supposedly They Are Considering Lost In Hollywood Or Lonely Day As The Next Single And They Already Hav Video Ideas For Lost In Hollywood
What Do You Guys Think They Should Release Next

Also I Cant Wait Till They Tour Early Next Year
Daron Malakian Is A Genius And Serg Tankian Has A Great Voice
Rock On Soad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Would calling you a fanboy fit?


Yes I missed them last time they came to where I live so I must see them this time!

You know honestly I bought it, and I don't think it was as good as mezmerize.

I actually thought Mesmerize would have been hard to beat, too. I haven't heard the album but Mesmerize was almost as satisfying as SOAD gets for me.

lost in hollywood and lonely day for the singles!? why arent they focusing on their heavier songs

Hypnotised or Mesmerized

well you can call me a fangirl if you like but they kick ass

i don't know why they aren't focusing on heavier songs but thats not to say theyll definately bring them out.
I think its good that they are doing one of the songs with primarily Daron singing though

still if i picked one song off of each part of the double album for them to release it would have been Sad Statue for mesmerize and Tentative for hypnotize

It's growing on me but I still say all their other albums were better.

Lyrically they've changed their style.
Instrumentally they tried some new stuff.
The new vocals dont sound as good by Serj.
Never really liked daron anyway, except for his amazing performance in Sugar.

Attack- Great. Lyrically and vocally, it has a very new, energetic feel. Similar to BYOB but without the random screams, and Serj is a little more understandable (not insulting BYOB, it wasnt a favorite, but it wasnt horrid) I think it was Hypnotize's "Question!"

Dreaming- Lyrically the same style as Attack, but its more of a crazy mix between Forest and SOAD opera. Its definately a favorite as well.

Kill Rock 'n' Roll- Not much to say. It's catchy, but it lost me with the lyric "Mowed down the sexy people"

Hypnotize- Of course this was wonderful. Great lyrics. Great instrumentals, beautiful blend of Soldier Side (intro) instrumentals and harder SOAD material.

Stealing Society- Had high hopes until Daron's part. After that is feels like a terrible rough draft of "This Cocaine Makes Me..."

Tentative- If you liked Sad Statue, here you go. Its a different look, but the same meaning and feel. Great song, and they made it original enough so it doesnt feel at all like a clone.

U-Fig- Not terrible. A little too repetitive but I'm sure the first few times you won't care.

Holy Mountains- ATWA without the loud chorus.

Vicinity of Obscenity- "Violent Pornography" after you've had too much "This Cocaine Makes Me Feel Like I'm On This Song" Didn't like it much.. although Serj saying "Banana" is rather addictive.

She's Like Heroin- Seriously? This song is stupid. Whatever message they were trying to convey out of this went horribly wrong.

Lonely Day- Its alright. Its cliche. Its depressed. It shows no sign of hope. I believe its the story of the man who did "Lost In Hollywood" after you've left him to rot. Still, a little too cliche for my tastes.

Soldier Side- Heavier, not as catchy, and involves an outside person (unless you take it as an internal struggle of course) but still great. Ends with the Intro from mez.

And that is my opinion on the CD. Oh, and the winner is Hypnotize out of songs on the CD, for me at least.
