Review: Terrible Ted was magnificent!!! This was the second time I'd seen him at Riverfest and hopefully not the last--bring him back at all costs--the man and his music appeals to all age groups and he gave the crowd one hell of a show! Rock on Motor City Madman!!!!!!

Review: All of you System of a Down lovers probably first heard about them when Toxicity came out. Their first album (System of a Down), which was out like, 4 years ago, is 20 times better than what they're putting out now...

The Disciple 12/05/02
artist: System of A Down
Review: OK all you faggots, SYSTEM OF A DOWN SUCKS! That's right, you heard me, their lead singer is a talentless monkey in a suit, they bitch about how the system works despite the fact that the system made them all millionaires, don't here them complaining about that do you? Screw off all you loser fans, I could compose better music. For all you that whine about how good their political messages are, go watch cspan. If you really wanna hear good music, try tuning in some Esham or ICP, Music is meant to be entertaining, not retarded like the SOAD listeners

Review: The Arrivals have got integrity and longevity. I saw these guys approx. 4 years ago opening for the Groovie Ghoulies and they owned the show. I can't wait to hear the new record! See these guys live!!!!

Review: System of a Down is awesome. If you wat conformity listen to Justin Timberlake but if you want trutb Serj will lead the way. The new album is awesome and great and diverse and I am very pleased with it. Steal This Album!


Charles Salerno, new york,ny 12/05/02
artist: SYSTEM OF A DOWN
Review: This review was by far the most ridiulous example of what americans are listening to when reviewing a bands new album comparison to their previous albums is mandated but the useage of any other metal band when speaking of this particular band, your just not hearing what this band is all about. SYSTEM OF A DOWN is by far the most orignal chaotic metal band ever assembled hands down, all of their music is simply fresh in their own prolific style, their skills as a musicans and as writers of music is so amazing they should have won over a dozen emmmys, but to understand this type of music, you need to be able to tell qualtiy talent from what the raidio overplays, SYSTEM just happens to be so good that it cannot go noticed any longer, i have been a fan since 98 when the group released their self titled album and have watched their music branch out into all types of places from more melodic to more vocal, any person with any real music knowledge and taste knows the true deal with this band, i mean if you like listening to creed don't write reviews on music thats!
obviously way beyond your level of musical ambiance, directed towards mrs holiday girod- feel free to email me when you realize your flawed review is a musical injustice!

Nolan, Fredericton, New Brunswick 12/05/02
artist: System of a Down
Review: Are you kidding me, 2 out of 5 stars? Apparently you were expecting them to sell out or something to provide the public with what they want to hear instead of what Serj and the band are trying to express through their lyrics. You my friend are no musical genius because you do not respect the effort, the hidden messages in the songs, did you even listen to the lyrics, this cd is great. I hope you rot in hell typing with one hand, jacking off with the other while listening to your backstreet boys and N'sync. . . Good Day my friend.!


poncho, Fredericton, New Brunswick 12/05/02
artist: System of a Down
Review: the first question that comes to mind is what the hell is your taste in music? if your idea of a great concert includes listening to some linkin park and papa roach (less rap more crap), then your review is excused, and i understand your "anger"...... otherwise if you really were a true system fan than you would truly appreciate the work and message behind these lyrics...... or are you one of those "fans" that love their sound....... and can't get enough of how they sound.... and oooooo they sound so great, without even giving two seconds thought as to what they are actually saying. this album, although it was a compilation of songs that didnt fit the last album, is a great album and well worth the time to listen to and enjoy. i think that you should actually listen to what serj is saying and rethink your "album review"....


Jessica, orlando 12/05/02

Review: I get what your saying about how they extend their songs with solos, but if you've got the talent to do it, what better place to show it off than on the road?


Tigran Avoundjian, Glendale, CA 12/05/02
artist: System of a Down
Review: Who are you you frickin hick to ignorantly judge the lyrics of the poet and talented songwriter Serj Tankian. Just because they blare heavy distorted guitars and loud yelling doesn't mean they're songs do not have meaning. The music is just a melody for the lyrics. I am sorry to say you missed the whole spiritual nature of this CD. Sure, they are B-sides, but they worked hard to record these songs and Serj and Daron even went into the studio 2 days before album release to digitally remaster every second song. If your ignorant enough to call powerful spiritually influenced lyrics crap, then stick to review CDs that contain the words ho, bling bling, gangbanging, cash money, i need a girl, and crappy lyrics about how rich a bunch of rappers are.


Graham Howard, Boston, MA 12/04/02
artist: Bryan Ferry
Review: Nice review of Ferry concert in Chicago. I saw Ferry in Boston and he was just as good. Wonderful stuff. This guy still has it after all these years. Both his looks and his music have remained as impeccable as they were in 1973.


jas, Chicago, Illinois 12/04/02
artist: Bryan Ferry
Review: I was at the Chicago show can attest to the reviewer's glowing review. Bryan was in top form. The band cooked. I was glad to witness it all. I made my way towards the stage after Love is the Drug and shimmed and shaked with the band. Woolly Bully was the suprise number for the night. I STILL can't get it out of my head. I had not heard it since I was a kid. It was a out and out rocjer to be sure. Very smart of Bryan to include this in the show. Maybe 96 Tears next time? Hmmmmm.
Viva Bryan Ferry

artist: System Of A Down
Review: system's new album is amazing. however, there are many songs that are still unreleased, and i'm very curious about them. plus, these aren't new songs. they're just revised. in fact, many had different names way back when. i intend to find the real story on system of a down.


Sandro, Toronto 12/04/02
artist: System Of A Down
Review: Most original band since Black Sabbath. System Of A Down is the best numetal band out there. You want musical tenderness...go listen to the Backstreet Boys. Don't attempt to criticize something you don't understand for your ignorance shines through in doing so. To quote Type O Negative; "Don't mistake lack of talent for genius". Tempo changes too harsh for you? Maybe it's time you stop writing reviews.

artist: System Of A Down - Steal This Album
Review: Serj is the rightfull heir to Ozzy's throne! SOAD rules! You can find Holiday Girod masterbating in front of his webcam along with a bunch of other fat, pathetic, 40 year old's while listening to Cyndi Lauper.

Andrew, Easton, MA 12/04/02
Review: I didn't even read what you wrote...all i read was the begining. i can say this...you know JACK F*CKING SHIT about music...system of a down is most original thing to happen to music in years...they cannot possibly make a bad song.. they mix so many genres of music its ridiculous...man im not even wasting my time with you...f*ck you...you can suck my ass

artist: Busta Rhymes
Review: Busta you just look so sexy with those long and sexy ass dreads. If I could have one night with you I'd be the happiest thing on earth. Everytime I see you on a video or on the t.v. screen I get so hot and wish that you were here instead of some where else. Please give me one night.
I Love You, I just want to hear your voice or see your face. Give a girl something.

Review: guess what buddy? KoRn is the f*cking best music there is out right now and this cd isnt half bad so shut ur face. Limp Bizkits gay though


Shelby, Moberly MO 12/04/02
artist: Corey Feldman
Review: Joshua, Joshua, Joshua! Sounds like you had your mind made up to hate whatever Corey had to offer before you even experienced it. Too bad too, because he has a lot to say, he speaks the truth, and he does it well. I don't know what your credentials are to determine what "vocal abilities" are, but it's back to school for you pal. Heeeyyy, I bet you're one of those guys who thinks rap is music! (That would explain some things). On July 10th, the very day after Chicago, we saw Corey in Columbia MO. Funny, we didn't experience what you did. We actually caught what he was saying, and enjoyed his well prepared, energetic, unpredictable performance. (With the video cam pointed at the girls he was dancing with, duh.) Looking for criticism, you missed the magic of it all. How sad. Shelby

Former Assassin, Moreno Valley 12/04/02
artist: System of a Down
Review: However opinionated your statement may be, certain threads hold water (at least for me in a good way). It’s the quirky and almost spontaneous way the emotion of the song comes across that provokes deep emotional understanding of the sometimes enigmatic lyrical content (which by the way does have meaning if you listen well enough.). Peace Out…..Always open to suggestion…………………..Blazed. Combat at your own risk………………])


Curt LaBrune, South Sioux City, NE 12/04/02
artist: Meat Loaf
Review: My 70 year old Aunt Arliene can't wait for the concert in Sioux City, IA on December 17th. She loves Bat out of hell and can't wait for the show. My whole family has been a fan for over 20 years. Were thankfull that Meat Loaf is willing to play at the 3,500 seat arena. Keep up the good work. Thanks, the LaBrunes

Review: System is the best band in the world and you are a complete moron.


Jessica 12/03/02
Review: i think that the CD is awesome! I love it! and when you say that they dont mension the cheese on their pizza pie its because when you are ordering anything other than a cheese pizza you dont say that you want cheese on it. that is usually assumed. I thought that the CD was brilliant! do not call system of a down goons, i think that they are geniouses!!!


Griff Soulchild, Rialto, California 12/03/02
artist: System Of A Down
Review: Yes, I love the psychotic rants of Serj Tankain. When they stick to their Armenian roots, I think it's truly unique and beautiful. I think it's a really good album. Possibly System's best album. I didn't jump on the band-wagon; I'm a long time System fan (since 1999). I think that they did well, I love "Chic N Stu", "A.D.D.", Mr. Jack", & "F*ck The System". Especially, "Streamline" off of the Scorpian King Soundtrack. I'm very political myself. I'm currently protesting the War On Iraq, and this album is a huge motivation. System of A Down, is one of the best things to ever happen to me in my life.

Zoe, Swanage, Dorset, England 12/02/02
artist: System Of A Down
Review: Do you want me to be honest? Ok then. Your review was bullshit. Have you even bothered to listen to this album properly? Open your mind and you might understand. "Chic N Stu" is a great kick starter to open with. And there seems to be a lot of Armenian influence in a lot of the songs. I like this album because it features different styles of what SOAD are capable of.

scatterme, Indiana 12/02/02
artist: System of a Down
Review: I love SOAD, even more so after seeing an absolute perfect live performance during Ozzfest 2002 in Noblesville, Indiana. The new album rocks, but I love the Toxicity CD as well. Chop Suey!, Aerials, Psycho, and now, Chic 'N' Stu........they rock!! But then I am staring down that genre grave you so wrongfully predict because I like Korn and Linkin Park too. I don't think the genre is dying, I just think it is finding itself and evolving, which music must constantly do to stay fresh and interesting. For those of you who think you don't like SOAD, check them out live first, before making that final judgment. You will be in for an awesome surprise.

J, Savannah GA 12/01/02
Review: Cmon down to my city so I can kick your ass. Dude your a f*ckin dick. Why dont you go to thier website and read about thier CD. Brainless f*cks like you dont know shit about metal or any genre of music. Just read up on SoaD and thier CD listing and listen to the lyrics u stupid f*ck. They are against the system and ways of living and thier lyrics are opinions on this f*cked up world. Like a dumb f*ck like you can relate or anything But shut the f*ck up.


Dave, Farmingville NY 12/01/02
Review: I have to agree Roulette is an amazing song in itself but i think their lyrics are much better and aren't as screwball and cornball like you said, i own toxicity and i think it is still a good album, though a lot of this pissed me off i have to admit it is right to a certain degree but im still as u would say "wasting" my money on this album.


James, Twin falls ID 12/01/02
artist: System of a Down
Review: i would like to start off by saying that the rating that is given at the top of the page is totally wrong. it must have been rated by someone that has no clue what good music is. "Steal This Album" is as even better than their two previous albums. they have the most origanal beats i have ever heard. everybody go and buy(or steal whatever fits your needs) the new System of a Down album


Chris DeVito, Brooklyn, NY 12/01/02
artist: System of a Down
Review: And who might you be a fan of? Britney Spears? System of a Down revitalized the heavy metal scene with Toxicity, paving over all the crap laid down by most previous metal bands. I do believe that Steal This Album might appeal more to System fans rather than the casual listener, but please give credit where credit is due. Toxicity is the best metal album ever made.


Kevin, Clifton NJ 12/01/02

Review: F*ck you cunts, you dont ever deserve an opinion for dissing the GREAT SYSTEM OF A DOWN!


Michelle, Los Angeles 12/01/02
artist: System of a Down
Review: Okay, I really enjoyed Steal This Album. I think that it's a great album. It is cleat that you don't understand the lyrics, Holiday Girod, and that's a problem. You see, because now you have made a complete fool of yourself by bashing a album that you have no clue about, you know what I mean? Next time, dig a little deeper into the few braincells that you do have and UNDERSTAND.
Michelle ---- and stop talking so much shit.

Review: I can't believe you ripped on this album, it kicks ass. I read your review of this album and thought "well I'll see what the rest of this site has to say." Aaron Carter! Britney Spears! Spice Girls! Ricky Martin!? And we're supposed to consider your review of SOAD legitimate after all of those shitty performers we saw on your concert review? Holy Crap!

artist: PORCUPINE TREE
venue: Fillmore- San Francisco, CA 11-25-02
Review: a heavy dose of Pink Floyd , mixed with One of the best concerts I've seen- a little Rush, a little Marillion, kick ass hard hitting show with superb musicainship and harmonies even sometimes reminiscent of Crosby Stills Nash and Young. Spread the word about these concerts, so others won't miss out on this monster of a band. Standout favorites from the concert- Blackest Eyes, Trains, The Sound of Muzak, Gravity Eyelids, shesmovedon, Hate Song, Strip the Soul- new album ROCKS! PLAY MORE SHOWS!!


Valery, Goppingen - Germany 12/01/02
Review: Hey ho. i just wanted to complain that I haven't seen the SOAD- show in germany. so why won't the come once more here? maybe next year? and can you tell me where are the origins of SOAD? I'm russian... and many songs sound like russian folklore... when's the release of the "steal album" ? i guess i won't buy or grab it, internet's pretty clever ... so hope for an answer. bye

Review: What's wrong with you, dude? The CD is fantastic. Go back to your Spice Girls-collection, let someone else review albums like this.


Stevo, Burnsville, Minnesota 12/01/02
artist: System of a Down
Review: I don't know exactly who is going to read this but it is directed towards Holiday Girod. If you ask me sir or mam, whichever you may be, you sound like a fourty year old washed up loser, with nothing good in your life, who has to take it out on people who make millions happy. In my opinion, Toxicity was a completely amazing album. Also in my opinion, it's very hard for any album to stand up against it. But Steal This Album does a very good job. Every song is more than enough to get the mosh pit going, the blood pumping, and the good times flowing. Despite the obvious motive of every artist to make money, these guys are also trying to help people have some fun while they have fun also. Finally I just like to say that the title of the album might mean something other than what you think in a world where all music can just be stolen over the internet.


??? 12/01/02
Review: what a load of flying mokey-with-a-keyboard bollocks!! system of a down are very possibly one of the best bands to ever make it into the shelfs of whatever disc scratching tinpot music shop you buy (or do sexual favours to get) CDs from. the new album is a little more on the zainy side, I admit... but when a band can put out that sort of original music, theres always some retard to shout them down. The A-E-A-I-A-I-O

Review: System is hands down the greatest band out right now...they shit on the competition with thier originality and crazy rythms...no one even comes close to these guys...When i can honestly sit thier and listen to every song they ever made over and over, thats gotta mean something...If you dont like the music they make, your just another stupid f*ck that hates on the greats!


Dave, Calumet, MI 12/01/02
artist: system of a down
Review: System of a Down is one of best bands EVER, already, and this is only their 3rd cd! Their music style is original, and you'd get meaning out of their music if you weren't too busy listening to garth brooks. Toxicity was one awesome cd, better than most cds released in the past few years. Eat shit and die dumbass.
How could you write such a f*cking crappy review on one of the greatest bands of this era? You must be a fan of pop music.

Review: f*ck your review. you obviously dont know good f*cking music when you hear it. system of a down's lrics make sense. they all have meaning. not like the bands around these day, who sing about how girls break their hearts, or how they have money and shit. who gives a f*ck how rich they are. they might as well syand on stage and chant be like me im a f*ckin idiot who makes commercials and sells out for less money than i should. be like me and dress like a whore, dance like your having sexx. this is disgusting, system of a down writes about real shit. but obviously youre too f*cking dumb to see that

I went to the SOAD meeting in Glendale I was there from 3:00 am and you know what it was well worth the cold, wind and sleepless day I met some cool ass people out there I got a 12" Toxicity LP signed by all 4 band members and took some good pictures thanks for the memories. Steal this album is ***** out of 5 stars.

And he does not babble on about a pizza topping it, is about advertising and subliminality you fool. that is what system of a down base all there albums on, SUBLIMINALITY!! maybee if you had 2 brain cells to rub together you would realise that ... you ass.
You should look deeper into the music, instead of just taking in what you hear! Otherwise, wouldn't we all think 'Chop Suey!' was about an oriental dish of noodles and crap!? 2/5!? You saft arse!

Karrie, NY 12/01/02
Review: Hey, everyone is entitled to their own opinion and obviously, in your opinion, you don't like the new album. I, on the other hand, love it. It's a great CD and has a more humorous twist to some of the songs which is cool. In the song "Chic 'N' Stu", the lyrics are not "Pepperoni and green pepper, mushrooms all the time...", they are "pepperoni and green peppers, mushrooms, olives, chives." But, hey...who knows...If you can't understand what the words are and want to make a fool of yourself by writing something wrong and then being corrected by a 15 year old female, go right ahead...do some more. :)

Vlade, Portugal 12/01/02
artist: SOAD
Review: I think the guy that made the review of the new System of a Down album is 50 years old, listens to Winger and has no clue how a 90's band sounds, much less a 2000's band. I think Ieaiaio has great live potential and most of all the songs sound great! i guess that if SOAD didn't made a semi-concept album, a selection of the best songs (if possible) of this and the last album (toxicity) would make one of the best albums in the history of rock, or who knows, a double album... I hope that the next reviews will be made by someone who truly understands how things sound today, not like 20 or 30 years ago...

Review: honestly, you are not correct in thinking that Steal This Album! is a bad cd. you are obviously not a system fan, because this is the best cd yet, and if you think otherwise, you are an un-educated-in-your-sense-of-art snotnosed freak... thankyou


Dustin Brown, Springfield, Mo 12/01/02
artist: System of a Down
Review: First of all, if you go into listening to a S.O.A.D. cd with the intent of hearing the catchy "radio-rock" being spewed on the air-waves, you are going to disappoint yourself from the very first song (which, by the way, have the lyrics, "Pepperoni and green pepper, mushrooms,OLIVES, CHIVES," review the lyrics before criticizing them). System has a unique style that has helped them remain successful in production and on stage for over 10 years. Its great to hear bands that actual have something to say and do it in distinctive manner.

Review: How the f*ck do you begin to point a finger at serj, crack head bitch, saying "cornball" lyrics, you are a peice of shit and i hope you burn in hell. System is one of most revolutionary band of all time. They have brought dark thoughts into my head where they belong , and i love it. Your a sad lonely computer geek who cant even begin to understand the meaning of serj's lyrics, f*ck you.
sincerly, the soadiac


System Freak, Toronto 12/01/02
Review: s.o.a.d. is one of the greatest rising bands today. i am sick and tired of bs punk bands and other 'rock' wannabes, this is the new metal of today. LB and KORN.. yes they are down the drain, but s.o.a.d. is incomparable to them, because theyre lyrics are not 'get out of my face' a la limp.. and not 'painful' a la korn. LB and Korn were of course at the top once, and s.o.a.d. will not stay there forever, but they are different. and while their lyrics may not be mundane, its what makes them special, and in my opinion, daron is one the greatest guitarists out there. go see them live, and you'll understand. you their songs sound liek they were written while they were on crack? youre probably right, they do a lot of drugs, as you might understand, if you listened to teh lyrics and knew a thing or two about drugs. yes they also try speak about politics through lyrics, s.o.a.d. is the next generation of rage against the machine with a new sound. they will top the charts longer thou!
gh, and will be one of the greatest and renowned bands ever. oh yeah one more thing... can you please do your homework before reviewing a band? you claim that all the 'steal this album' songs are 'toxicity' rejects. please do us all a favor and research before you review, so you dont look like a fool next time.. while most songs are 'toxicity' rejects some were previously unreleased underground shit from back in the day when SOAD still painted their faces. thanks ps. i hope this is not your day job.

Review: System is one of the best band's in the world few times we get good bands like this, but many people don't appreciate good music and rather stick to there LP or the sum 41 there all shit they don't get any where close to system of a down! System is the BEST AND WILL ALWAYS BE THE BEST!


Omar, Bronx, NY 11/30/02
Artist: System
Review: But rather than sounding like second rate knock-offs not worthy of commercial success, many of the songs here are every bit as strong as the many hits from their previous offering (again, if that's your bag, baby). This is such BS! The reasonw hyt this were not on Toxicity is because some did not fit the whole toxicity title. Other were written as far back as 8 years. The band memebers as are very smart and understand the important issues of this world which you are not obviousely inderstanding because of your rating!

Review: i fully agree with yer editorial. SOAD used to be a very good band until the release of Toxicity came out and made them pop! I mean cmon, cheerleaders at my school are jammin to chop suey. pathetic. Their new CD has a select few decent songs, but most are ranting about nothing and sound the same. I give the cd 2 outta 5.

Review: The guy who rated the new SOAD cd, doesnt konw jack shit. If you don't understand them don't rate them assfucker. as for them being left overs from Toxicity, your dumb because some of these songs are older then the band, and some are from 8 or so years ago. Get the facts first buddy.


Rich, New Jersey 11/30/02
artist: System of a Down
Review: Now granted Steal This Album is not going to be as amazing as Toxicity, but it definitely does not suck. System is still the angry music kings! Toxicity was amazing, as was their first self-titled album. Their sound is so original, that you have to give them props. Remember that song by 311 a little while back, come original, well, classic example, and that's why SOAD is so freaking amazing!!

Review: System of a Down kicks ass and so did Korn and Limp Bizkit. Damn the person to hell that said they were 'lamo.' You're 'lamo' for saying the word 'lamo.''Lamo' is the stupidest word to describe something you don't like. I'd rather have sex with my own mother than be known as a person that says the word 'lamo' on a regular basis.


Ray Engle, Dayton, OH 11/29/02
artist: System of a down
City & State: I really enjoyed System's first two albums, and i like that they have their own sound unlike the limp bizkits and korns in the music scene. But I must agree with you on this one. This album has no fluidity. They released this album to make money off the holiday crowds just like the hundreds of other musicians who will get millions of dollars for not-so-great music in the next month. (im not bitter) HAHA!!!

Leslie Mc, Columbia, SC 11/28/02

Review: This is by far one of the best and multifaceted albums I have heard in a long time... which is hard to find in a band of this nature. If you haven't checked it out.. don't go on reviews. Give it a good solid listen (all tracks!) and find out for yourself


Eric, Houston, Tx. 11/28/02
Review: I must agree that compared to their last album "Toxicity",which was just so good, "Steal This Album" seems to fall short. Although, it is good enough to buy for what it is, second string songs that were dropped for their past albums. "Innervision", "Ego Brain", and "Roulette" are the highlights of this album, but my opinion may differ from the next person's. I seem to prefer the songs in which Serj takes a softer approach to the lyrics and is easier to understand("Roulette").....as opposed to the songs where he simply shouts out words. Serj's style of singing will always be reason enough for me to buy any album they put out, but I will still listen to "Toxicity" alot more than "Steal This Album." Oh, I also hear that their first album was better than "Toxicity", I have yet to hear it, so I guess I'll have to buy that one next and see what Ive been missing.

My point is, if you don't like the genre, don't bring your biased opinions to the table and just review the shit pop that you like.

Review: Steal This Album - what can I say, that a million other toxicity owners haven't already said on hearing this bands incredible musical, lyrical and emotive talents. I heard steal this album for the first time today (i pre-ordered it, but it came a day late) and was immediately hooked. Once again System of a Down have proved that music can be about something other than teenage angst, drugs, being mad at your mum, and the weather. The lyrical gymnastics of Serj Tankian, the fast and furious drumming of John, the moody bass of Shavo, and the alround genius of Daron Malakian are once more shown to their greatest degree. Elements of hard rock, humour, passion and emotion keep this bands music far ahead of any wanna-be competition. Nothing else I can say - as for any favourites, oh, i dont do favouritism, it is all so, well, good. What more could anyone ask for in a band, if System of a Down were a brand of loo roll they'd have everything - soft, strong, extra long, and def! finately no chaffing! My top band, who have given us the best three albums of the last few years, a live act with no comparison, and generally all round nice guys. System of a Down, keep up the good work - ***** out of 5!
