Anyone heard the new System of a Down single? It's available on iTunes and through other "means." And it fucking rocks. ROOOOOOOOOOCKKKSSSSS!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait for their new album, which will be follower by another in the fall.
 BTW, the name of the single is BYOB. The name of the album is Hypnotize. Sorry for being confusing.

EDIT: Dammit! I knew I should have checked first. The album coming out in May is called Mesmerize, and the one in the fall is called Hypnotize.

I have been waaay into System since the first album , but I really don't like the new single at all. I don't know what it is, whether it's the incredibly long layoff between new stuff or just the fact that it isn't good music.

Yea I don't really enjoy the new single.  I usually like a lot of SOAD stuff, but the new song...eh.

Hmm.. didn't know such a thing existed. Let me go listen to it now.
 
 [listening]
 
 I really want to like this song but it seems to have a little bit too much thrash metal fast screaming in it between the chorus parts.
 
 But besides for that it's pretty cool. Sort of thing I would put on during an angry night of drinking. This, some Spineshank, Rammstein, etc. and a bottle of Jagermeister.
 
 Okay, besdies that, listening to it now for the second time and I think it is growing on me. Thumbs up.

Chop Suey is still my favorite song though.

I was just playing Sonic 3 on my Gamecube while
listening to Mezmerize. I've never been on drugs, but I imagine that
was a somewhat comparable experience.

The new single from the new album just came out.
Anyone else hear it? Not as heavy as most of the stuff from Mezmerize,
but I really like it. A little more melodic. 
Hypnotize is released on the 22nd.

I'm not as down on them as Mojo, but I would agree with him that they're pretty goddamn overrated by one whole hell of a lot of people.  They're okay.  They have NOT saved hard rock music.

I used to like them when their debut album hit, along with Toxicity...Once they decided to go political with some songs, I lost all respect fot them.Most favorite song by them? Spiders.

I don't mind them being political, it's just the political stuff doesn't really mesh well with their music.  I actually like B.Y.O.B., but once they start with the "Why don't presidents fight the war, why do we always send the poor" shit, it just doesn't flow well at all.  I guess I mean to say that they're very awkward with the political messages.  Rage did it much better, although I personally hate RATM (and though I know Mojo will NEVER agree, I find Audioslave to be superior.  Although not that Audioslave is actually great or anything).

actually agree with you 100% here. BYOB and Cigaro inparticular are
very awkward songs, even though I like them both.

Well
lets just make a love sandwich out of the three of us. I'll get my
politics from NPR, and my sex, drugs and mayhem from my music.  I've
always thought that when rock bands get political, its generally
sophomoric politics or crap music. Usually both. I hate when musicians
get preachy.

How dare you, that man is a saint.  Millions of African children agree with me on this.  He should have won the Nobel prize......actually, I'm not joking about that last one.  This year's winner was a complete fucking joke, so they might as well have given it to Bono.  At least he's likable.

usually don't care about politics in music, but they tried so hard to
put over the top political lyrics that it sounded forced and awkward.
They just didn't fit in with the music all that well in parts.Not that this was the first time. Prison Song probably dwarfs anything on Mezmerize.

i guess you cut off both ears da vinci b/c its a fantastic album...not as commercially accessible as the last couple of albums but the album is musically brilliant...harmonies and arrangements are trademark SOAD but I feel the creativity here has been elevated beyond that of a band which generally improves from album to alblum, this is was like a supercharge to the neurons...
