Amazon.com review

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

Landmark Metal Album.......2007-05-20

Working backwards from their latest album Hypnotize, I landed on Toxicity and it blew me away. I am a huge fan of their newest album, but after hearing Toxicity it became clear why the SOAD purists say what they say. Toxicity is truly astonishing. If you are a metal fan but have not heard this album yet, consider yourself in for a treat. This is practically a genre-defining album. What fun Rick Rubin must have had putting the icing on this incredible piece of work! Toxicity is progressive, aggressive, juvenile, and reminds us of the startling fact that, yes, they're STILL trying to build a prison! Another prison system, for me and you...

Musical terrorism (at its finest).......2007-04-23

I happened upon this album because i heard "Sugar" (or whatever that song is called) played on KROQ and my musical tastes changed forever. The album is a revolutionary breakthrough in musical expression, combining the experimentation of greats like Frank Zappa with the melodic ability of Nat King Cole. The mind-force that created this music (the collective apparatus that is the intellectual force behind System) is absolute genius. Every grunt, note, sound effect and scream is perfectly woven into the fabric that assaults the ears.

I have friends who hate this album as thy cannot get past the staccato resonance of some of the more popular songs, but in my humble opinion, these only add to the total experience that is Toxicity. This may well be System's masterpiece - although we can hope they find ways to outdo themselves in the future. The Bonus DVD was a nice surprise and at the time of my purchase it was available at the same price.

Toxicity is Pure Gold. 5 Stars.......2007-04-02

Being the devoted metalhead that I'am today, I'll honestly say that I'm not a big fan of nu metal whatsover. Normally I'm a huge fan of death metal bands such as Deicide, Death, Morbid Angel, Nile, Krisiun, Suffocation, Cannibal Corpse, Malevolent Creation, and thrash metal bands such as Slayer, Testament, Kreator, Sepultura, Anthrax, Exodus, Overkill, Megadeth, and so forth. However System of a Down are one of the better nu metal bands out there, heck I wouldn't even consider these guys as nu metal (I would consider them as hard rock or alternative metal) because they are very good at what they do, and they do it a whole lot better than all of the other crappy nu bands out there. Their 2001 masterpiece Toxicity is just an incredible mindblowing album. While not as good as their 1998 self titled debut, but this album is pure gold nonetheless. I mean this is one of those albums along with "Vulgar Display of Power" by Pantera, "Reign in Blood" by Slayer, "Beneath the Remains" by Sepultura, and so forth that I can just listen to over and over again and never ever get tired of it no matter how many times I listen to it. Producer Rick Rubin does a fantastic job with producing this album. What separates SOAD from most god awful nu metal bands are two things: GOOD musicianship, and GOOD lyrics (not the typical I hate mommy and daddy garbage). SOAD's lyrics are mostly pollitically charged and not only do they make you think at times, but they also make you laugh at other times as well. Serj Tankian's are very awesome on here. He can go from an crazy insane rant like shout to a cool melodic singing voice. Daron Malakian is without question far more superior than any other nu metal axeman alive. His weird yet great heavy riffs are just down right catchy and they'll make you bounce and bang your head like crazy. He also does good backing vocals too. Shavo Odadjian has some pretty cool bass lines on here (listen to "Prison Song" for instance). John Dolmayan's drumming is fast, energetic, and just downright crazy.

Here are some of the highlights of the album:

The opeing track "Prison Song" is a fast energetic, catchy opener with fast raging riffs and hard boucing drums to boot. Lyrically this song deals with of course politics, prisons, police corruption, and everything else wrong with the legal system. This is one of the best songs on here and of my favorites as well. Track two "Needles" is another fast catchy number with a hilarious chorus. "Deer Dance" is another great track that follows the same subject matter in "Prison Song" this time in a more serious fashion. There's even some riot topics thrown into the mix. Track four "Jet Pilot" is another favorite that starts off with Serj angrily ranting over a barrage of fast thrashing riffs and fast pounding drums. And of course let's not forget about "Chop Suey" the album's first single of course. Man, words just cannot describe how catchy and addicting this song really is. This is without a doubt the best song on the entire album, and it's another one of my favorites on here as well. "Bounce" is a short but fast energetic number that will make the listener like the song title says bounce. Track eight "Forest" is another one of my favorites on here which includes some great headbanging riffs that will make you feel like you've been bodyslammed in a wrestling ring. Another one of my favorites and of course my personal favortite that being track twelve "Toxicity". Lyrically this song deals with city life and the poisons in it. The lyrics on this song are just pure bliss to me, and Serj's vocals are great as well. Track thirteen "Psycho" (crazy song title eh) I believe deals with crazed cocaine groupies. There's also a cool guitar solo from Daron included. The closing track "Aerials" is a nice slow rocker with great singing vocals from Serj that are pure bliss. Great album closer bottom line.

Here's the entire song list and the ratings:

1. Prison Song (3:21) - 5/5
2. Needles (3:13) - 5/5
3. Deer Dance (2:55) - 5/5
4. Jet Pilot (2:06) - 5/5
5. X (1:58) - 5/5
6. Chop Suey (3:30) - 5/5
7. Bounce (1:54) - 5/5
8. Forest (4:00) - 5/5
9. Atwa (2:56) - 5/5
10. Science (2:43) - 5/5
11. Shimmy (1:51) - 5/5
12. Toxicity (3:38) - 10/5 My favorite song
13. Psycho (3:45) - 5/5
14. Aerials (6:11) - 5/5

Well there you have it, this album overall is a must have for any fan of System of a Down, metal, hard rock, alternative metal, or just good music in general. Sure SOAD may NOT be as fast, agressive, and heavy as Slayer, Kreator, Pantera, and so forth, but they're a solid band nonetheless. Bottom Line: Buy this album now.

Loved it.......2007-02-21

I loved it. It comes at you fast and heavy. It took me a while to get into their music...now I'm hooked!!

I LOVE this album!.......2007-02-01

The driving beat, the sometimes amusing, sometimes political lyrics, the wailing guitar - everything. If you like a strong rock/metal influence with heart - give SOAD a try! These guys ROCK!

This band rocks!!!.......2006-05-16

There hasn't been a band that rocks this hard since old Metallica. I love their style. They have a unique sound which combines Armenian influences in their guitar riffs and great vocal variety. Their is also a humor to all of their songs which I find very refreshing. If you like metal and music that rocks give this a try. S.O.A.D. Rules!

on bonus material +album.......2006-01-05

all the soad haters really should go get a life instead of attempting to review an album they probably listened with alot of prejudice no matter what anyone says this is a master piece enought people say so to make that a reality ok its not everones cup of tea but neither is any album by any artist right to the album the album is a phenominan and highly innovitive see my review of the album under all reviews

the bonus material is great and makes you yearn to see system of a down live truely wonderful

Awesome.......2005-12-22

System of a Down is an awesome band, for all you SOAD haters (as seen below) :) This album completely rocks, there isn't a bad song on it. SOAD is a little strange, yes, but so is Maynard from Tool/APC. System of a Down is a very talented group and I personally appreciate the way they express their beliefs through their music. This album, along with all the other SOAD albums, is definetely worth listening to and buying.

System of a Down's Toxicity is almost Toxic.......2005-09-04

after my review of this cd i have to say i will never buy another cd from System of a Down again you are better off going with Tool or A Perfect Circle there may be only three tracks on this cd that sounds good buyer beware.....

BEST S.O.A.D. CD YET!!!.......2005-03-18

I know this cd is pretty old now, but I still crank this cd up. Every single cd is the best!!!! How do they do it? If you do not have this cd, BUY IT!!
