![]() ![]() Of course, truth also drives SOAD to make passionate, if slightly screwy, decisions: Serj Tankian's ADD sputter of "eat 'em eat 'em eat 'em eat 'em" and "banana banana banana terracotta" on Hypnotize Mezmerize's detour into celebrity baseball game outtakes on "Old School Hollywood." These moments are head-scratchers, no doubt, but they're integral to the experience - System of a Down confound and irritate even as they rock. Hypnotize is the fifth album by System of a Down and the second half of the Mezmerize/Hypnotize double album before taking their hiatus to work on their. It drives the boiling rage in Hypnotize's "Attack," "Stealing Society," and "U-Fig" on "Holy Mountain," it inspires SOAD to transform the sad facts of genocide into the album's most vicious, powerful, and arresting moment. Truth is the motor for System's spazzy, modernist thrash. But the extra cardboard slotting's a little extraneous, as are some of the sonic parts on both albums. System Of A Down Hypnotize LyricistDaron Malakian, Serj Tankian Why dont you ask the kids at Tiananmen Square Was fashion the reason why they were. Released in November 2005, roughly six months after its counterpart, Hypnotize does indeed feature a tri-fold design. La cancin fue escrita despus de la protest. The question then becomes, how long can SOAD suckle the sour milk of Sony's teat before they totally compromise their recorded values? After all, you are what you eat.It wasn't a lie when System of a Down said the packaging for Mezmerize and Hypnotize would slot together.

That's the other half of the Sony argument, that System scores for themselves a larger audience with the RIAA than they'd find otherwise, which means more people will hear and possibly listen to them. ![]() but in a world where people consider the likes of Billy Talent and Sum 41 political, System is still essential for the pop-rocking, socially unconscious Billboard subscriber. Are there any nu-metal fans that are really this hardcore? Is this not the conclusion anyone really listening to the Serj's lyrics would come to? Why is SOAD still allowing themselves to be released by such a miserable corporation? Can they not start their own label by now or at least find an independent? So many questions. For a band that almost exclusively releases fiercely antiestablishment, anti-capitalist songs, it's somewhat odd that they would want to make hypocrites of their fans so obviously like this, for to truly believe the words of Serj Tankian is to not support the likes of Sony BMG. Sure, the CD booklet and packages of Hyp/Mez are made with recycled hemp paper and soy ink, but every purchase nevertheless puts money in the pocket of one of the worst consumer raping business entities in existence today. Of course, in light of Sony's recent suing over their use of criminally invasive, corporate-developed rootkits (which allow criminals access to your computer while destroying hard drives upon effort of deleting the bastards, all in the quest for copy control), the fact that all SOAD releases so far carry the copyright mark of the BMG beast, in my mind, glaringly taints the message of the band and the purchase of its associated products. Just as Nelly got his accountants' blessing to release Sweat and Suit together in one capitalist cocksucking package, in steps the second half of System Of A Down's Hypnotize/Mesmerize, which comes with linking packaging to tangibly mock the people dumb enough to buy all "three" Nelly products. ![]()
