Bought tickets to a festival next summer with SOAD as a main act. As some people said, latter albums weren't that good but apparently the live shows are great.

[sing blue silver]

am i the only one who thinks the last two albums were by far their best work? i've been a fan since the first album and when mesmerize/hypnotize came out i thought they really outdid themselves. better songwriting and musicianship and a step away from the cliche nu metal style.

[Hidalgo]

i think hypnotize is their best album, and i got into them in early 99. but mesmerise ehhh, i like it but it's my least fav

[TheDeftonesVault]

System! One of the first bands I got into.

[defTHE1s]

I'm glad they're going to tour again together, and will be very excited if they enter the studio again.

[davetonez]

I love most of their stuff, and I'd love a new album to come out. The only one I didn't appreciate so much was 'Hypnotize.'

I'm a huge fan of political music and System were one of the first political bands I started listening to... Memories.

What the fuck was that? That was one of the most ugly things I've heard in awhile.

I saw these guys back when the first album dropped. Shit, I bought the cd with my lunch money haha. They were hungry for it and it was a blast watching them. Just intense. Now... not so much. I'll give you a bomb. Ass cakes.

[Law]

I still crave more of Serj's old low growls, like on the first album. Still, will try and see them.

Can I just say two things about this thread:

first: Many people care, SOAD has a bigger fanbase than Deftones, just saying. (ex: Chop Suey has over 60 million views on youtube, I don't think any Deftones song has even 6 million).

second: System of A Down was never a nu metal band
Here's a quote from guitarist Daron Malakian: "We don't belong to any one scene" and that "I don't like the nu-metal drop-A 7-string guitar sound; it is not my thing..."

Anyway they are supposedly on tour right now, and I hope if they make a new album it's in the same spirit of their old ones. I liked most of Serj's solo stuff but Scars on Broadway wasn't as good, I thought.
