A rarity amongst rock records from this era, this remains fresh and credible to this day.
LeonardoA Jan 16, 2017
In 1998, there is a shock wave by metal-country. So hard and ferocious as System Of A Down had the genre that is rarely sounded. The razor-sharp staccato guitar riffs were admittedly not so very original but the radiated energy that the band was unprecedented. The plate was a great success and gave the Americans among other things the Act for Slayer and a performance at the world famous Ozzfest festival. This sealed the success finally. Now there is the long awaited successor Toxicity. Where the sound has remained largely the same, however, the numbers are even more extreme. System Of A Down excels in writing at first hearing chaotic numbers with pounding guitars suddenly are interspersed with emotional, almost ballad-like, passages. As one of the few bands in the nu-metal-era reserves System Of A Down, a strange but distinctly face and charts a band not from her musical lines on the basis of commercial considerations. Nevertheless, it seems success also for Toxicity in advance already secured.
