does anyone like these? i had them recommended to me by someone in work and i'm actually pretty impressed, i like the singers voice and i don't normally like metal, i have only listened to toxicity so far |

they are very clever dudes, with an amazing breadth of musicological influence. i can't get enough of the way through which they syncretise slayer-style thrash together with armenian folk melodies and other exciting genres. that's why i'm all, like, strung out, waiting for them to release new records. i could listen to them so much. 'nuff artists have gotten hip to the polymathical recombination in music now. mr. bungle, for example, or for a different take on it, secret chiefs 3... even some artists that work exclusively in one genre often "ironically" interpolate elements from popular music as kitsch, or just because there are excellent ideas in every genre. all this is just to say that i wish s.o.a.d. would have like, a billion more albums, like frank zappa or venetian snares. the thing that makes zappa's catalogue durable to me, is that he would do such heroical stylistic leaps from each release to the next, making each of his records a new and exciting, and eventually durable, artistic watershed, without ever straying from his essential formula. if i had more disposable income i would buy a new s.o.a.d. record every week if one were available. |

I love the first two albums and Steal this Album, haven't heard the new one... lot of unflattering things being said about it but I trust the people saying them. I think they're really good, guess I should get off my butt and hear the new one. Thatne- great post, they definitely have a lot more going for them artistically than most people think. They make me smile, a lot of their songs are smartly crafted little jagged thingies. |

Ophecks, the thing that has turnt me offa them a little bit is the sentimental daron-led songs that they seem to feature more prominently now after their success with "chop suey!" i think that since toxicity was #1 in the u.s.a. during the week of 9/11/2001, they have been co-opted by their record company into symbolising the feelings regarding that event. |

w'hoops, what i meant to say was that the above is what i think founds the criticism of mezmerize. i was more comfortable with serj as the only mouthpiece. unlike belle & sebastian, whom i love retrogressively throughout their career, but whom i think benefit from the more democratic songwriting stratagem they've been doing since the boy with the arab strap. i love sarah martin's songs so much, man, "waiting for the moon to rise" is just perfect for me sometimes innit. |

one more praise that i have for s.o.a.d. before i guess i'll shut-up is that they are refreshingly agile in their genre-transcending ecstatic explosivity. remember in the early 1990s, for example lollapalooza rosters, the music was kind of bloated from the influence of prog-rock being clumsily combined with metal and punk, and got so thick and muddy. i guess there was a point to it but like, you could compare l7's "shitlist" to a snowball avalanching down an incline (but never going very fast, lol), and s.o.a.d.'s faster tunes to a guy doing handsprings for 2 minutes. |

I'm definitely not fond of those ''sentimental'' songs. I like them best when they've got their tongues firmly planted in their cheeks. Not that I think their songs and views are jokes, but they've got a certain charisma about them. They can get a message across to me AND make a witty little ditty at the same time. I don't like Aerials. |

where's pOgO? he's a fan of theirs. the new album isn't great but Toxicity is an absolute masterpiece, probably better than the self titled debut in my opinon simply because the tunes are more memorable and there's more diversity amongst them and no needless swearing. |

i beleive pOgO is a quite beautiful female, well from the pictures i saw the other day on this messageboard. the more i hear of this group the more i like them. |

The first couple of albums were pretty decent. Not every track a keep on the stereo but a fair majority. After that though... shite. |

They have just annouced that they will play in Vancouver in September. Mars Volta are supporting, I like SOAD but I hope that they pull out so The Mars Volta will have to play a full set. Tickets go on sale on Satuday, if you want to find me, I will be standing in line outside ticket master. (no assasins please) |
