i just read most of the reviews on Amazon.com for all the system albums...
how much hate can this band take?
i really enjoy their music. the comment which really made me think was this one:
"Ok Here s how the story goes.The day was March 28 1995 five guys ...Mike Patton,Jim Martin,Mike Bordin ,Roddy Bottum & Billy Gould came out with an album called "King For A Day , Fool For A Lifetime".These guys were also known as Faith No More.Off that album was a certain song titled "The Gentle Art Of Making Enemies" A track which was nothing but pure originality and blew everything in its path it was something never done nor heard before.That was BRILLIANT. 3 years down the line a band comes along called System of a Dump ....sorry down .....and they decide ok lets make an album rip off a few riffs from here and there and no one will know.So what we have here is 3 albums ripped off from this one Faith No More song....unbelivable...no ones gonna belive me...so listen for u r self.Everything that soad do from the guitars to the vocals is just ripped off that one song and they ve actually made 3 albums.So what we get is Serj whatever singing bout the armenian genocide like no one would notice he s ripping off The Brilliant Mike Patton.Get a life people listen to good music not this worthless piece of s**t.Long Life Faith No More .Also if u feel there is any variation in this soad album yea that comes from another song "Cuckoo For Caca"

I love SOAD, I think they are a very talented bunch of guys who are really unique and are always changing which makes them more likeable because it'snot the same thing over and over. Although I think that the success of Toxicity over shadowed thier first album and since then it's been underrated, although it was my favourite for a while, can't wait for Hypnotize.
