I love this band.

I forgot about them, but then i put in toxocoty and remembered their greatness, anyone else like them?

OMG, DUDE. What a coincidence. I love them. A lot of people dont like them because they are arab, but wtf, where is America going? Are we now racists or do we have prejudices against other ethnicities or/and religions. First CD is so political though. I love it! Especially P.L.U.C.K. for its lyrics. 2nd cd is best though. Thats toxicity, first is self titled!

What about Steal This Album?

EDIT - They are Armenian and all the better for it!

yes thats odd becasue i listened to them a lot about a year or so ago and a few days ago i just remebered them and started listening to them again. a very good band. my favorite cd by them is probably Toxicity, fav song is aerials or forest.

Yeah, they're a good band. My favorite songs are: Prison Song, Needles, Psycho, Sugar, and Jet Pilot. I didn't really like this band at first, but they grew on me.

same here, then i listened to B.Y.O.B and i fell in love. for some reason, im not a big fan of chop suey, too many "main streamers" seem to know it.

a local band played sugar, love that song to.

jet pilot is ok as well

good band, new album is grand

Ummm... BYOB is more mainstream/popular than Chop Suey right now.

Haha, I remember I've always listened to heavier music, and my friends saw a SOAD cd in my case (Toxicity I think it was). One of them ignorantly said "How can you listen to that screaming sh1t." Mesmerize comes out, and my friends all like SOAD now. They've actually listened to Toxicity now and they like it.

It kinda shows you how ignorant people are of heavier music, and how much conformity sucks. Next step... get them into Opeth

YES! steal this album was their best work IMO

shadowsniper · 05-27-2004, 01:49 AM

same here. I didnt like them at first, I thought they were to heavy for me then I got into it and then I got into metal, lol. Black Metal though, death metal isnt as great I think. Yeah, Armenian, I knew that, but they arent all from Armenia, Jon is from Lebanon, an ex-french colony that is many arab. I just said arab because most people think of the middle east when I say that and Armenia is near Turkey, so... But yeah, none the less, ur right.
