Track three kind flows from BYOB. That's going to annoy me on my iPod although I am used to it on a lot of my stuff now.
Nice harmonising, so far so good.

track five has become a spanish pop song. This will be a big hit with middle aged English women in Majorca. Fun non the less

track eight - nice rock riff
So far I am quite impressed by this although the cover artwork looks like it has been done by a 14 year old.

The tracks must be very short, you have listened to 9 of the 11 tracks in 20 minutes.

Track eleven- Ballad time, whenever I hear a rock ballad, I think of Extream - More then Words, now it's stuck in my head while I am listening to this, not a good sign.
Saying I love you Is not the words I want to hear from you It’s not that I want you Not to say, but if you only knew How easy it would be to show me how you feel
hmmm

I've heard samples of the album and the two singles which are to be released in England. Really disappoint to be honest for someone who was a real hardcore system fan only a few years back, even the 'Steal this Album!' LP which was loaded with bootlegs was better than this one IMHO
DeerDance and ATWA (Air.Trees.Water.Animals) remain the best tracks they've ever done and nothing on this album comes remotely close to either.
However it IS a double album and we'll have to wait until 'Hypnotise' comes out in the fall to judge it all properly.

maybe you should try the old albums rather than judge them on this new trash. I admit I'm more of a Trance man myself, Delerium, Deepest Blue, Steve Lawler and all that.

hmmm...I dont think anyone can judge a song by listening to it and thinking "hmm what should I write in the xltronic board about this song" while not listening to the whole song.
All SOAD cds take some listening to like And you need to listen to the whole album to get a feel of what they're trying to say.
Not even professional music critics do what you just did.
I love this album...its keeping with their style and is fuckin rockin great!

Of course I can do this. I can do what the hell I like. Guess what, I am not a professional music reviewer, I thought it would be an interesting thing to do.
I like the album apart from the ballad, but I guess they have to have one for you chicks;) The next time you buy an album, I invite you to do the same it's kinda fun.

I dont view albums the same way you do...it just dont see an album for its single song, but more for the whole.
I'll give it to Delerious though... its all you!

Do you always listen to an album from begining to the end without skipping tracks or selecting whereyou start?

heard it at work, was described as "protest album of the year" by a colleage, music was "interesting" but the lyrics were some of the worst, amateur politics student crap I've ever heard.
"my cock is much bigger than yours, my cock is so big it can't fit through the door"
or something like that
come on guys you can do better than that, and put the freaking rhyning dictionary away for christs sake.

my brother bought it yesterday. but i don't like system of a down and i haven't heard this album (nor want to - i've heard a little bit of what was on the website and it made me want to leave it...), so, eh, i guess this post is useless.
oh wait, i can say that the artwork is pretty cool, i guess; somewhat ugly in a way but somewhat impressive as well.
