They time signature changes lighting fast, and Serj's vocals can range from a death metal roar to a great choir sound. The songs each display these characteristics in good ways, resulting in a great disc for rock and metal fans. #1: Prison Song: About politics, prisons, police corruption, and just about everything wrong with the legal system. For obvious reasons (once you have listened to it) this is the funniest on the cd. 10/10 #2: Needles: Very bouncy, and sounds very strange, even for SOAD. Good song. 8/10 #3: Deer Dance: Follows the same subject matter as Prison Song, but in a more serious fashion, and with riot topics thrown in the mix. Great song. 9/10 #4: Jet Pilot: A very fast and short hit, and this one sounds like nothing but noise........ Not so great. 6/10 #5: X: Kind of like Jet Pilot, only shorter. 6/10 #6: Chop Suey!: The year's weirdest single, and really cool. 10/10 #7: Bounce: Funny song, confusing, and cool. 10/10 #8: Forest: A great song, heavy, and the best on the cd. 10/10 #9: ATWA: Doesn't make much sense, but it's ok. 7/10 #10: Science: Good song, not much special about it. 8/10 #11: Shimmy: The same style as Jet Pilot and X. 7/10 #12: Toxicity: Cool song, about city life and the poison of it. 10/10 #13: Psycho: Bouncy song about cocaine crazed groupies. 9/10 #14: Aerials: Much longer than a typical system song, and really cool. 9/10 This is a good cd, and modern rock/metal fans will find it very enjoyable. Classic rock fans, on the other hand, probably won't. Altogether, it's a good cd, recommended to modern rock fans. Comment | Was this review helpful to you? (Report this)See less »
