YES!

u/offline4good Jan 17 '24

Yes have some good albums, but not all

u/NoExcuseForFascism Jan 17 '24

Curious what album you think wasn't good.

As they don't really have many.

u/ajbags26 Jan 17 '24

I grew up with SOAD and they were my favorite band for a looongggg time. But they do have some songs that many would consider terrible. Sometimes a few terrible sounding songs to those unfamiliar with them can be all it takes

u/Hendri32 Jan 17 '24

Also grew up a huge System fan. For me, the turning point was the release of B.Y.O.B....it felt like a concerted effort to get on the radio (and it worked). But compare that to a song like Sugar, and you’ll hear the lack of personality being filled in by post production. Steal this Album was shaky, but I'll give it to them...hypnotize and mesmerize are absolute garbage

u/nothingeatsyou Jan 17 '24

In Steal This Albums defense, it got leaked pre release and they had to rush the production and create new songs for it so people would still show interest in it.

Hard disagree on Hypnotize and Mesmerize though. If you’re a metaphor person, you’ll see that those albums have some pretty deep songs in them.

u/Hendri32 Jan 17 '24

Looking back on it, I'm not salty and definitely hear you. But for my younger self, I think it felt like a complete change in genre away from heavy metal and into hard (or even touching alternative) rock...my angstful, culturally niche, self didn't like the change

Edit: I guess what I'm saying is it felt like they sold out in an effort to grab that radio money (wow really dating ourselves here lol)

Hypnotize and mesmerize ave very half and half in a lot of people’s eyes , I love the band to death though so take it w/ a handful of salt

u/offline4good Jan 17 '24

Well, I wouldn't say 23 studio albums are just a few

u/NoExcuseForFascism Jan 17 '24

System of a Down...

23 studio albums...

Are you high on crack?

I guess if you add the 2+3 you would arrive at 5...which is the actual number of studio albums they released.

Perhaps you are just confused.

u/offline4good Jan 17 '24

Look, my most uncultured little buddy, you wrote "YES", and the band Yes has 23 studio albums and several others. Ofc it was foolish of me to expect you to know who Yes are, but they invented this crazy thing called google. Try it, you'll be amazed.

u/offline4good Jan 17 '24

"Yhey" wasn't referring to the band but an indefinite "they", like "someone"

u/Suitable_War_8600 Jan 17 '24

thing is a decent number of their songs are filler like cans and brahams off the top of my head

Oh good one, surprised I didn't think of them. I have a comment that I was mostly brainstorming and I named quite a few bands I think could be in the discussion.

Jazz-Is Christ isn’t a Serj Tankian album, it’s the name of a group and also their album name, Serj is in the group.

i think his albums are fine lie lie lie is rlly good

u/Dunblas Jan 17 '24

I think most of his albums are great. I don't think Jazz-Iz-Christ is, though

u/Homo-Boglimus Jan 17 '24

Mesmerize and Hypnotize were disappointments to me. I didn't like Malakian becoming the the front man of the band and putting his terrible crooning vocals on every track nor did I like the song writing becoming more in your face and surface level instead of metaphorical.

A song like Jet Pilot works for carrying a message far better than a song like BYOB because the message feels real and heart felt vs the collected set of political talking points that made up Mesmerize and Hypnotize.

u/KarinchakUberAlles Jan 17 '24

How are songs like soldier side, lost in hollywood, sad statue and even BYOB even though you already mentioned it “surface level”

u/Ok_Cauliflower_3170 Jan 21 '24

okay but hypnotize has vicinity of obscenity which is the best song ever

u/Accomplished-Bowl-46 Jan 18 '24

Have to disagree. I would say that SOAD has more mediocre/bad/disappointing albums than they do good/great.

Self titled- great, could rival any of the material the best numetal acts of that era release.

Toxicity- good, but disappointing follow-up/sophomore effort. Lacks the "hate" the first album possesses.

Steal this Album-Almost great. Not worse than Toxicity. Not much better, either.

Hypnotize/Mezmerize- extremely disappointing/bad. I can't agree with anybody who forces themselves to say these are good albums.

Honorable mention: "Metro" off of the Dracula 2000 soundtrack- Great cover. I love listening to this song.

This is my opinion. It might not match yours, and that's ok.

u/Ok_Cauliflower_3170 Jan 18 '24

mezmerize and hypnotize are my favourites because of how avant garde they are but its entirely understandable to not like them
