Toxicity

Great album

This is my favorite SOAD album. I love every single song here. If you want to know why this band has remained relevant for decades listen to this album!🤟

Recibido en perfecto estado para regalo

This Toxicity vinyl is so good! The sound is rich and powerful, and listening to these System of a Down tracks on vinyl makes every riff and lyric hit even harder. I love the album art and the nostalgia it brings while I play it. Honestly, it makes listening to music feel like a full-on experience — intense, fun, and unforgettable! 🎸✨💖

Great album. I love the songs and it works with my player the album art is really nice.

Awesome cd

When it came out in 2001, Toxicity was probably the biggest album there was. System of a Down had gotten fairly popular with their debut album just a few years before, but this is what really solidified them as one of the top modern rock/metal bands. I remember getting this album a week or two before it was supposed to come out, thanks to a clueless dude working in the music section of a store putting the CDs out before release, and being blown away. I hadn't heard an album this good in a while, and it was easily my most listened to album for a good 2 years…and I -loved- System's debut album. Rick Rubin helped the band pull off another masterpiece- the song order, editing, everything was fantastic, and I really wish the band could release another album as good as this. I hadn't listened to the album for a while until recently because, for some reason over the last couple of years, I haven't listened to music as much as I used to. Sure enough, the album still rocks, and I remember all the lyrics. I've noticed a couple of things I don't care much for, but that shouldn't keep anyone else from enjoying it. I'll just get those out of the way right here- the band does the whole "stop" thing a little too much for my tastes. As in, they'll play music, stop for a second for dramatic effect, then come back in and keep playing. The first track of the album, Prison Song, starts out with one chord, a stop, then a few chords, a stop, etc. Several other tracks do this and it gets kind of silly. Fortunately, the music is all top notch, and it's doesn't necessarily ruin the songs. The other complaint is a "DUH!" one because it's how the band is, but nowadays, I really couldn't care less for political stuff. At least half of the songs here are political, and while they mean well, it gets a little tiring at times. But again, the music and Serj's delivery of the lines is what drives the songs. He could be howling and screaming about peach cobbler and most people wouldn't notice because they'd be so into it. What I'm really saying here is that I hope people make their own political decisions, and not just go what one performer's talking about. This album came out when I was in high school and a lot of us had the sheep mentality here. Alright, little gripes aside, if you somehow haven't heard this album yet, you're in for a treat. Standout tracks include Deer Dance, X, Chop Suey!, ATWA, Science, Toxicity, Aerials and the 'hidden' track Arto. Go listen to samples of those, or the whole tracks on whatever video site you use, and listen for yourself. Chop Suey! is the first single that came out of freakin' nowhere, and I can still remember seeing the video on MTV (remember that?) and going "THEY'RE BACK! YEAAAAAAAH!" when I was 16. The opening acoustic riff going right into an oddly-paced series of metal chords while Serj delivered a powerful song let you know that they were back and they meant business. If you ask me though, the two best tracks are Deer Dance and Science. Deer Dance is just plain beautiful while still being a metal track, with how the music and vocals change towards the end, and I love the lyrics to Science, especially today with how everyone's so big on science. You can't go anywhere, or on any site, without someone talking about science, whether they're being serious or trying to be funny. Read the lyrics to this one and see if you agree. It'd be great f someone could make a video for this song using footage from the new Planet of the Apes movies where the chimps are going berserk, smashing everything up. Toxicity is perfect for people to enter the musical world of System of a Down. It's a little more beginner-friendly, for lack of better term, than their debut album, but not as raw. It's a shame that modern radio-friendly music is what it is now, when you consider that all of the singles from Toxicity used to be in regular rotation for a long time, and not just on rock stations. Hopefully the guys can come back with a new album soon and be in the spotlight again, saving us from more boy bands and pretty-faced singers that were put together by studios. 'be kinda cool if System had a track where the vocals were auto tuned though, I gotta admit.

AWESOME ALBUM!!
