Guilty pleasure? Why? I think they're pretty damn great. Toxicity is a fantastic album start to finish.

ghey :ohsh: by gay i hope you mean causing happiness to those that listen :D

saw them at the TLA in philly (medium size venu, under 2000 people easily) and it was phenomenal. i got into them rather late (toxicity) but i enjoy all their albums.

they will produce a cd for me some day.... *drifts off into never gonna happen land, gives pound to mindbender*

toxicity is awesome, the self titled is great too. mesmerize/hypnotize was ok but I never really listen to it. Probably the best mainstream band around right now. And they aren't just good for a mainstream band, they are good period. Not sure anyone could cover their songs accurately, Serj is a crazy motherfucker. Really unique sound.

Their best songs off the top: "Prison Song" (is that the offical name? I forget?, War?, Soil, P.L.U.C.K., Shimmy (I always liked this song alot, dunno why),

My only knock against this band is that sometimes their lyrics make absolutely no fucking sense.

But they also have a song with the chorus BANANA BANANA BANANA BANANA BANANA BANANA so I guess it evens out

Like these guys. Saw 'em live once.

Toxicity is dope. Have only heard bits and pieces from their other releases. "Attack!" off of Hypnotize is hype as fuck. "Sugar" was ill too.

From Toxicity I really like "Chop Suey", "Prison Song", and "X".

I love how every System of a Down thread turns into huge bolded font and weird lyrics.
