System of a Down (lyrics, metal, rock, magazine, cover)

I actually proposed it myself in the other thread. If there is one thing I hate, it's being mixed up and being hated almost instantly.

not all music has melody.. listen to Sunn O))) or Merzbow.

and both SOAD and Static-X are horrible, horrible bands.

SOAD aren't horrible, just horribly misunderstood.

Overhyped in some ways, underrated in others... Depending on who we are talking about here.

Dax · 05-09-2006, 09:28 AM

And thats just what I mean.
Why do you think they are horrible bands??

Explain... give reasons.

(I was talking about Sound by the way)

Have you listened to him live? He can't sing that great. Have you seen him on $2 bill? He dosn't sing that great... And I said it was Nu Metal because on Toxicity, it says somthing about them being a great Nu Metal band or somthing. So don't say that I was stupid for calling them Nu Metal when *looks at cover* spin magazine called them Nu Metal.

Reasons? the musicianship is simplistic, vocals are poor, song structures are poor, lyrics are apalling. they take a few simple political ideas and some random 'original' influences and mix it up with some average down-tuned nu-metal. Its attention seeking angsty rock aimed at the 'rebellious' kids market.

and if you like Industrial-influenced nu-metal, Pitchshifter are about a million times better than Static X

I almost agree with you completely, except fot the pitchshifter - static x part.

I think they're on the same level of goodness in my book.

Sound Devastation · 05-09-2006, 09:48 AM

same level recently... but pitchshifters early work wins.

i dont really know why i like pitchshifter tbh, but they're the only band of that style that i can listen to.

I second that.

Ya' know I'm amazed this thread is still open. I've been watching it for a while and there's no real comparison between SOAD and Static X. I give them both props for what they've earned. First, I'd say Static X, for complex vocal structure and a unique sound. SOAD strikes me as a cross between RATM and Drowning Pool. Then again, I might say SOAD for their wild riffs and hyped up sound. But flat out, I'd say you'd be better off comparing SOAD to (hed) PE and Static X to old school NIN.
