System of a Down - Mesmerize
Wow, this is a great album. I have always been a System of a down fan, but this album just pushes it to the brink. Awesome lyrics, fast paced, great riffs, these guys kick ass. My two personal favorites are B.Y.O.B and Revenga. Honestly one of the best albums I have listened too in a long time.
A must have in my books.

The album's right on par with their debut for me; great energy, catchy, and different from anything else out right now. B.Y.O.B. is great, so unpredictable but still definably one song. Violent Pornography is another one from the album that was amazing, if it weren't for the lyrics it could be some 50's super hero's theme song, it's got that whole bravado sound to it. The other song that stuck out from the rest was Old School Hollywood, just the tone is comical.

BYOB is a great song. Just feels too commercial.
Excellent band though, I'm always thinking about picking up their stuff. Sounds unlike any mainstream hardcore, if there is such a thing.

Wow, Shrew picked out 2 of my top 3 songs on that album...lost in hollywood i believe is the last track and i likes that one....byob and then violent pornography
Violent pornography is my fav, though. But overall, I don't agree with the total message they try to get across, which prohibits me from REALLY enjoying their music. It's almost like a guilty pleasure...they just sound so fucking good.

Eh, listened to it, wasn't very enthused. I've never been that much of a SOAD fan anyway.

Bahhh. 
I'm right up Kortiz's alley though. I love the music, can't stand some of the general themes.

What's so wrong with an artist voicing their opinion and trying to change the things they disagree with in society?

I agree, at least I am not a mindless peon listening to the backstreet boys.

Yeah what’s wrong with propaganda, Hitler used it why can't S.o.a.D.? : 
Whats wrong with casting deceptive influence through sometimes uniterpretable screaming vocals under the guise of catchy musical entertainment?
The fact that kids (and adults) will be subjected to the message when they think all they are doing is listening to music, is a Trojan Horse. The influence will be carried not only by message but by the entertainment factor of the music. Lobbyist have used music as a means for protest and influence forever, it doesn’t make it wrong- but severely unappealing for many.
S.o.a.D. is cool- I don't care they delude music with a political message I somewhat disagree with (the anti-gov./war)
They have to have something to write about- at least it isn't fat chicks with big nasty backyards- dumb rap and the big butt lovin'

That statement, in regards to the quote, is unintelligible.
I really cannot understand how listening to Back Street Boys implies mindless servitude, being as music is primarily a form of audio entertainment, and that by subscribing to a message (or rejecting) advocated by a certain group makes you any more unrestrained- (I don’t listen to nor do I like nor am I defending the back street boys, only the concept)

Are you really going to use Hitler in a debate? REALLY?
Every president in the history of the U.S. has used propaganda, but sure, let's use Hitler because that's definitely a fair comparison. I'm a big fan of the song from their first album called "Let's Gas Jews Then Throw Them In Ovens." Classic.
Nice choice of words with the propaganda as well, it's got that negative connotation. Of course it practically means 'opinion,' but whatever.

Lyrics to songs actually mean something? Ridiculous.

Now that you mention it, it was quite a catchy song.
