Once upon a time, rock bands atop Billboard's album chart relied on good looks, cotton-candy lyrics and pop sensibility that was short on substance and long on style. (Think Def Leppard.) But when grunge hurtled into the music atmosphere in the early '90s, those bands quickly became dinosaurs and were all but wiped out.
Since then, chart-topping rock acts have exhibited remarkable diversity. This year, Nine Inch Nails, Rob Thomas, Audioslave and the Dave Matthews Band have all debuted at No. 1 -hardly groups you'd expect to see on tour together.
Now you can add System of a Down to that list. After steadily garnering more and more critical praise since its arrival in 1998, System now releases its 4th album, Mesmerize. It proves that the group's singular style (with a dose of vitriolic politics) has connected with a new generation of fans—in a big way. |

YES, FUCKING yes. Every now and again rock music needs a reminder that it can be inventive, absurd, challenging and sell millions. System Of A Down are that reminder. Up against newer, younger, more visibly tormented souls who just about pass for rock stars these days, they make this shit too easy. This, their third proper album, matches anything they’ve don’t to dates and is nothing less than a sledge-hammer to the senses, an explosion where riffs fly like shrapnel and lyrics are reduced to seemingly nonsensical slogans that somehow still evoke an image, a thought or an emotion even if it’s confusion. |

We of SOADFANS.COM are praying tonight for the people who died in 1915.
I will, and with all of you together we pay respect to the people who lived their lives just like you and me, but were slaughtered just for no particular reason at all.
Please do the same and together we can make sure that what happend back then will not happen ever again.
Today is the day April 24th, 90 years ago when it all happend. When you think about it, it looks fairly unreal but when you are reminded of the facts of this event you see how cruel our crooked minds can be.
We have to give respect to the ones that died in 1915 and they will not be forgotten by us all.
They will stay with us in our minds, souls, and of course in the music of SYSTEM OF A DOWN themselves. |
