But heavy metal cognoscenti in both ██ ██ camps quickly realized that in their hands was a ██ ██ potentially crucial stepping stone for the future ██ ██ development of heavy metal. Sure enough, so challenging ██ ██ and groundbreaking were its contents that the album ██ ██ soared over most everyone's unsuspecting heads, its ██ ██ eventual gold sales status only achieved via Columbia ██ ██ Records' massive promotional muscle and nearly three ██ ██ years of intensive touring on the band's part. ██ ██ Consequently, early believers were pleasantly surprised ██ ██ when 2001's long awaited follow-up, Toxicity met with ██ ██ instant popular acceptance, skyrocketing up the charts ██ ██ toward multi-platinum success. Yet, for the most part, it ██ ██ also managed to retained SOAD's unorthodox signature ██ ██ sound: so-called "nu-metal" uniquely infused with ██ ██ remarkable originality, including angular riffs, jagged ██ ██ rhythms, and oblique lyrics splattered all over the ██ ██ place. Like its predecessor, Toxicity seems utterly ██ ██ chaotic upon first listen, but things quickly begin ██ ██ falling into place, thanks to a number of small ██ ██ refinements, not least of which is a more generous ██ ██ melody, obviously pre-meditated, but rarely overdone. In ██ ██ turn, this immediacy greatly improved the album's chances ██ ██ at radio -- case in point, first single "Chop Suey!", a ██ ██ track so potent not even September 11, nor mainstream ██ ██ radio's ensuing self-imposed, politically correct attempt ██ ██ at self-censorship, could tear from the airwaves (despite ██ ██ its none-too-discreet lyrics about suicide), the song's ██ ██ surprising success was reminiscent of another left-field ██ ██ hit from a decade earlier, Faith No More's "Epic" (hear ██ ██ its piano-led outro for proof). And sure enough, from the ██ ██ unexpected false starts of "Prison Song" to the ██ ██ relatively mellow conclusion of "Aerials", the band's ██ ██ heightened commercial sensibility continues to joust with ██ ██ their inherently quirky songwriting. The excellent title ██ ██ track, "Forest", and "Science" are among the most ██ ██ accessible standouts from an incredibly diverse set, the ██ ██ likes of which SOAD's inferior nu-metal peers could only ██ ██ hope to emulate. Lyrically, it's simply no contest. ██ ██ Whether tackling typical rock subject matter like drug ██ ██ abuse ("Needles") and groupies ("Psycho"), or embarking ██ ██ on inscrutable Dadaist gems like "Jet Pilot" and ██ ██ "Shimmy", co-songwriters Daron Malakian and Serj Tankain ██ ██ sound like are the bastard children of Frank Zappa and ██ ██ Slayer. And while sub-Rage Against the Machine political ██ ██ invective (unfairly attributed to their Armenian ██ ██ heritage) remains an integral part of the band's creative ██ ██ makeup (e.g. "Deer Dance", "Atwa"), Toxicity's approach ██ ██ is much more cautious in this regard than that of their ██ ██ incendiary debut. In conclusion, when a band takes this ██ ██ many left turns, you'd expect them to start going in ██ ██ circles sooner rather than later, but this is not the ██ ██ case with System of a Down. Hands down one of 2001's top ██ ██ metal releases, Toxicity may well prove to be a lasting ██ ██ heavy metal classic to boot. ██ ██ ██ ██ Ripper's note : ██ ██ This exclusive French limited edition pressing includes a ██ ██ 5 tracks bonus single which features the previously ██ ██ unreleased track 'Johnny' + four live tracks. ██ █▓ ▓█ ▓▒ URL........: http://www.systemofadown.com ▓█ ░░ ▒█ ░ ┌─┬─┬─┬┬┬─┐ ┌─┬─┬┬┬─┐ ▒█ █▄ │┌│││││││││ │││││││└┤ ░█ ▄██████████████████████████████████████████████■ │├┤ ┤││││┌┘ │││┌┤ ├┐│ ░█ ██▀ █▀ └─┴┴┴─┴─┴┘ └┴┴─┴┴┴─┘ ░█ ██ ▒█ █▓ ▒█ █▓ No news atm. ▒█ █▒ ▒█ █▒ ░█ █░ GREETZ......: To all the 'just for fun' ripping groups ░█ █░ out there. ▓█ █░ ▓█ █▒ ██ █▓ ██ ██▄ :[ ASCii by The L3b0wsk1z ]: ▄██ ████▄▄ ▄▄████ ▀███████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████▀ ████████████████████▄ ███████████████████▄▄ █████████████████████████ ███████████████████████▄ ███████████████████████▄ █████████████████████████ █████▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀███████ █████▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀███████ ██████ ███████ █████ ▀█████ █████ ▀█████ ████████ █████ ▄█████ █████ ▄█████ █████████ ▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓ ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░
