hypnotize is an incredible album. if you're
a fan of nu-metal i highly recommend listening
to SOAD, hell not even just hypnotize most of
their other stuff is really good too. one of my favourite
bands for a damn good reason
amongst the albums, hypnotize has to be my favourite.
it's their most recent full album, and whilst
i'm definitely a big fan of their older stuff too,
in my personal opinion nothing beats this. daron
gets to sing a lot more which i love, and him
singing together WITH serj is beautiful, especially
in Hypnotize (the song) where their singing almost
sounds like a back and forth conversation with each
other.
amongst the songs, the final five have to be my
favourite. Holy Mountains is a hauntingly beautiful
song with some amazing serj vocals,
Vicinity of Obscenity is. uh. its. yeah. you know.
She's Like Heroin
is a daron focused song with some VERY interesting
instrumentals as well as a very catchy tune (underrated!),
Lonely Day is super popular for a reason, no major comment,
but WOAH baby Soldier Side is FUCKING BRILLIANT. i love Soldier
Side so much. i think you need to listen to at least Soldier Side (Intro)
off of Mezmerize to get the full gut effect of what this song does.
in any case! if you're a fan of nu-metal, funky vocals,
songs that somehow contain strong political messages
beneath their veil of incredible silliness, i highly
recommend soad!!!
