System of a Down - Hypnotize CD Review
System of a Down has a new CD coming out on November 22nd, Hypnotize. It is one of the craziest CD's that I have ever heard. It is the follow up to their album, Mesmerize, which was originally slated to be a double CD, but eventually was released as a single album. The band, known for being very political in their songs, definitely lives up to that on this CD, especially in the first song, Attack. I decided to do a song by song breakdown review of the CD. Here it is on a 10/10 scale:
01. Attack - This is a very heavy song that gets you right into the album. Very political song and it may not please everyone 10/10.
02. Dreaming - They definitely don't let up here. Another heavy song, even more so than Attack. Drumming is awesome on the song 10/10.
03. Kill Rock And Roll - The lyrics are rather dumb, but is a catchy, decent song 6/10.
04. Hypnotize -This is the lead single for the album and it's a good song to chill to. It's a good song and the vocals are very well done 8/10.
05. Stealing Society - Moderately heavy song and pretty catchy 8/10.
06. Tentative - Sounds like an old Toxicity song, but it's a good heavy song 9/10.
07. U-Fig - Great song reminds me of War! off the self-titled LP 9/10.
08. Holy Mountains - A good song full of harmonies and great vocals. Another chill song 10/10.
09. Vicinity Of Obsenity - Absolutely crazy, funny as hell song. It has bad lyrics but the song is so catchy and funny you can't help but love it. Guitar even sounds funky like the Red Hot Chili Peppers at times. Definately a stand out 10/10.
10. She's Like Heroin - Another crazy song that's almost as hilarious as the last song. Again bad lyrics but it's so catchy and great it doesn't even matter 9/10.
11. Lonely Day - Another song to chill out to that sounds great but has some terrible lyrics 7/10.
12. Soldier Side - A great ballad and great way to close the album. Connects with intro from Mesmerize perfectly 10/10.
I give the album overall, a 9/10. It is definitely one of their best albums and one that I have not stopped playing since I got it. In terms of songs to download, they are all really good and it is deinitely a CD that I would recommend that people go out an buy. It's not the type of music that everyone will like, but if you are a fan, this is the CD for you.
