Why or why not? If yes, how would you rank their albums? I'm trying to settle an argument between me and a friend. Here's my ranking:

Toxicity
Steal This Album
Mezmerize
Hypnotize
.
.
System of a Down

At least that's how I think I ranked them when I listened to them regularly. I know for a fact that their self titled album was my least favorite.

I used to love these fuckers in high school. Good god beezy we are so anti-establishment darkies, we need to start a movement.

demi · « **Reply #2 on:** January 06, 2011, 02:27:11 PM »

I only remember the one CD they released... Toxicity? Sorry, can't help. I went past the 9th grade and stopped listening to them.

I don't skip a SOAD song when it comes up on random listening. Toxicity is my favorite album of theirs Though my fav song of theirs is BYOB.

Robo · « **Reply #6 on:** January 06, 2011, 03:03:14 PM »

I like them more than any other nu-metal band and less than nearly every other band of any genre, except for Muse, The Eagles and Aerosmith.

Beezy · « **Reply #7 on:** January 06, 2011, 03:06:14 PM »

No one can rank their albums? That was actually the main reason for this.

demi · « **Reply #8 on:** January 06, 2011, 03:07:34 PM »

Most of us arent aware they made a new song beyond... oh shoot what was the one

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #9 on:** January 06, 2011, 03:08:01 PM »

I don't, but Toxicity and BYOB are pretty fun to sing in Rock Band while drunk.

Robo · « **Reply #10 on:** January 06, 2011, 03:11:09 PM »

Didn't they do that one song, Down with the Sickness or something? That's my favorite.

Diunx · « **Reply #11 on:** January 06, 2011, 03:12:13 PM »

I like some songs from Toxicity.

Olivia Wilde Homo · « **Reply #14 on:** January 06, 2011, 04:07:41 PM »

My two favorite songs of theirs is "It's Been Awhile" and "Click Click Boom."

Good shit man.

Everytime I jam with someone and they put their guitar in drop D, I punch them because I think they're about to play Aerials.

Aerials is the "metal song for dummies." You can't make this shit up. Oh wait, apparently you can. "What sounds cool really distorted?" "A FUCKING DROPPED D"

i had to grow up listening to that shit, btw, i couldn't avoid it as easily as you all can because it played on the radio constantly

i hated them as a child, i hate them as a grown man, and i harbor a certain amount of sneering disdain for anyone who enjoys their ~~music~~ mongoloid babbling

I used to feel so boss trolling Limp Bizkit fans back in the day while explaining how complex SOAD's songwriting was. Then we'd agree to disagree and go back to trying to download legit versions of Linkin Park's second album :zelda

Foreigner is easily tied for the worst my friend. I'd have chosen priest rape over a steady dose of foreigner during my childhood.

tiesto · « **Reply #41 on:** January 06, 2011, 10:31:06 PM »

I didn't know SOAD had any other songs other than Chop Suey, and that Shame On A Ni--a cover. Never heard any Eagles songs aside from Hotel California either.

The Sceneman · « **Reply #42 on:** January 06, 2011, 10:47:13 PM »

I made the mistake of listening to this band for a few months when I was 15, to try and score chicks

naff · « **Reply #43 on:** January 06, 2011, 10:50:45 PM »

Did it work? I used to listen to them when I hung out with stoner mates in 4th form, never got laid for it though :'(

The Sceneman · « **Reply #44 on:** January 06, 2011, 10:52:21 PM »

no of course not!

but yeah they make awful music, and they take themselves too fucking seriously. They are similar to Metallica in terms of their douchebaggery

I'm more into singer/songwriter folk with a soul edge. Amos Lee, Ben Harper, Damian Rice, Ray Lamontagne. But you can't jog or work out to that stuff.

SOAD is dumb fun if it comes up on the radio but the people who pretend they're all deep and shit are annoying. Which quite a few do. I guess it is more intelligent than Limp Bizkit or Buckcherry but that isn't saying much.
