System of a Down's sophomore effort is a musically and lyrically ambitious 14-song collection that's even more left-of-center and powerful than their 1998 self-titled debut. Here the Los Angeles-bred foursome tackle everything from government ("Prison Song") to cocaine-crazed groupies ("Psycho") in a more pointed and aggressive manner than Rage Against the Machine. Serj Tankian's hardcore vocals and occasional Middle Eastern flourishes ("Science") contribute to the unique, ultra-intense, and quirky qualities of System circa 2001. Unexpected time changes and death-metal-like intensity give way to mellower moments, all of which make for demanding but irresistible listening. Toxicity is a masterful, unusual, and forceful opus. This release includes a bonus CD-ROM that includes behind-the-scenes footage, band commentary, and concert clips. --Katherine Turman

 Unique music composition in rock December 5, 2008
K. S. Pang (Illinois, HK)
If you're into nu-metal/rock music, you should know a couple other bands like Slipknot, Sevendust, Deftones, etc.. System of A Down is just right there with those well known bands. Many listeners don't feel like after listening to their tracks. They complain about the strange sounding verses. Once in a while there's the freaked out verses and bridges too. At first I couldn't take it, it sounded silly to me. Later after listening to their albums thoroughly, I noticed it's not odd at all. It's actually quite entertaining. Lyrics are all bounded by the titles of the tracks. If you don't know, their tracks are political. Their choruses are super catchy, an average 5 year old can sing the choruses of each sound for you.
I like the goofiness they give in the songs. It's a pleasure to listen to their music.
There're a few songs I particularly like, those are radio hits too. Aerial and Chop Suey! Great intros on both songs.

SOAD's Best and THE Best of 2001 October 2, 2008
Alaskan Ranger (Big Lake, Alaska)
I'm not much into speed metal, nu-metal or death metal. I like music that plays great and lyrics that make sense. After hearing Chop Suey and Toxicity, I knew I had to have this CD. Upon listening to the entire CD and comparing the lyrics and sheet music, I rated this as one of the best CD's to come along since Rush's Moving Pictures. As for it being catagorized as nu-metal, Amazon should replace who ever does that job. This is far from being nu-metal. It's more of a fusion of modern metal and progressive rock, leaning more toward the later. My suggestion is to add this to your collection. You won't be sorry.
