Whatever this band is..I really like it...I know they have been around for awhile but I just like them now...probably a flash in the pan...the whole vocal thing is cool but not very diverse.

I disagree - I think that they are failry diverse, esp. in todays music. I just picked up the new one, "Mesmerize". Great music on there. Check out the website too. They are fairly vocal about the world political climate. Kinda reminds me of Jello Biafra ideology and writing styles. Dead Kennedys just didn't have the production $$ to sink into the recording.
SOAD is also a great live act. I saw them open for Slayer before they were known. Made a definite impression where so many other opening acts are just forgotten.
If you don't have any of the older SOAD stuff (SOAD, Toxicity, Steal This Album), check them out. Some of the middle eastern influence on their music blends really well.

How would you rate Mesmerize compaired to Toxicity?
I would put it on a par with Toxicity, if not above. The music is somewhat more complex. Daron (guitar) sings a lot more on this disk than Toxicity, making for more harmonies with Serj.
They are doing much the same thng that they did with Toxicity/Stealt This Album. Hypnotize is the second disk to Mesmerize. The band wrote and recorded 30 songs for the disk and will split it between the two releases. Hypnotize is set to release in the fall.
Pick it up. If you like Toxicity, you'll dig Mesmerize.
Have to concur. Been there all the way with SOAD. This one has knocked me out though. Can't stop playing it. Singing really stands out on this one. Those two really sound good together.

Thanks. Are the songs as catchy as Toxicity? Hows the production quality?
Don't be dopey. You've gotten (at least) two favorable reviews. Find a music store with a listening station and check it out for yourself if you are going to dismiss our opinion. Music is VERY subjective and your opinion may be quite different than ours.
Got get it if you liked Tox. You likely will not be disappointed.

Your right. Got it, Love it. I little different with Daron singing more, but still great. Radio/Video being my favorite so far. SOAD have mastered the tempo changes. Only wish it was a tad longer.

Cool. I am glad that you like it. . .
If you want more, wait 6 months. SOAD wrote and recorded 30+ songs for this release. Instead of a double disk, they are gonna release the companion disk in the fall, titled Hypnotize.
