I think SOAD's stance is that they're on a 'hiatus', have to wait and see i suppose.
Yes, you do, the SOB debut is about ten times better than Serj's new album, although I'd say they sound more like each other than any SOAD album.

And as far as the status of the band, I have gleaned and discerned that the hiatus isn't indefinite. After Serj's limited involvement in Mezmerize/Hypnotize, he wanted to pursue a creative outlet for his musical ambitions, while System was gravitating towards Daron's uncollared songwriting. It is clear that this isn't a matter of "creative differences" or personal problems; Daron has attested his respect and admiration for Serj, and I don't think that's going to change. Serj has another album due to be released in 2009, and I am hoping beyond hope that exercises his creative inhibitions and he is content to re-form SOAD thereafter.

I own "Hypnotize" and "Mezmerize."

Not terrible, not great.

Listening to SOB there is definitely more of a melodic feel, Chemicals in particular is very catchy.
I think it's a nice album, perfectly listenable, but it's not setting me on fire or anything. Bit too samey overall, just doesn't have that same feeling of experimentation like the last SOAD albums did. I dooo like Stoner-Hate though. Not that i've heard the Serj album yet but judging by the singles off of it this still beats it.

SOAD are a talented band that unfortunately got pigeonholed with the nu metal crowd, which even though I'm not a SOAD fan, really annoys me. So it's easy to get laughed at for liking SOAD, cuz it's just like liking Limp Bizkit amirite? Unfortunately that's what a lot of people think.

System of a Down was the first band that got me into music.
I fell in love with them for a while, lol.
They're pretty great.

(Yes, old thread. But I gotta start SOMEWHERE.)

They sucked.

However, I will say one thing good about them. They actually managed to get better with their albums. Regardless if this thread would have you believe otherwise Hypnotize and Mezmerize were easily their two best, self titled being damn near impossible to find any notable moments on, Toxicity barely a step up, and Steal This started to show the ability to write pop songs. They were bad when they tried to be a metal band but once they cought on to the fact that they were really a pop act and aimed for it their sound got a lot tighter and the songs started to sound like actual songs.

Dude, system of a down is Armenian?
Thats pretty cool.
I always assumed they were American, but does it really matter?
Anyways, these guys are my second favorite band, right behind Boston.

A lot of stuff that falls under the metal umbrella isn't really my thing, but I still love this band. Aerials is a top-drawer song

"Toxicity" is pretty amazing, but it's their only album that is better than Serj's solo stuff, which is also amazing.

For me, Steal This Album! tops Toxicity.
Of course, Toxicity has the epic "Aerials" and "Forest", but overall, STA! wins with songs like "Innervision" and "Mr. Jack" or "Highway Song".
