when i first heard their cd, it wasnt that great..then i started listening to it again and again and the songs start sounding so good, i think soad is one of the best bands of our time. one thing i love about them is there individual sound, i havent heard any other band that sounds like them.

Blatantly un-Pop. Only ignorami would consider them to be Pop Music, and probably have only heard 2-3 of their songs (Chop Suey, Toxicity, Aerials).

SOAD are the best band there has ever been and ever will be!
Nobody in the whole world can top them!
System are NOT pop! In anyway or form...yes they have been on MTV a few times that dont make them pop!
Anybody willing to slag them off at all! Will be shot!

A band with one of the most unique music styles ever, mixing Middle-Eastern and Armenian with Metal. Sometimes the music is calm, sometimes its angry and sometimes its crazy (like the song "Johnny"). Usually they scream a lot and then go calm, probably because their throats hurt.
There is meaning to System of a Down's lyrics, listen to "Boom!" and "Chic n' Stu" (though I doubt most of you droids couldn't interpret that song).

Best fucking band ever. Fuck you if you think they are pop! STOP LISTENING TO SHIT LIKE AVRIL AND LISTEN TO REAL MUSIC!

A band whose musical influence hail from Armenia. Their lyrics are open to interpretation and speak of politics, religion and experiences. System of a Down's lyrics are subject to debate because they rely heavily on interpretation *1. As is their music, although the basic chords and repetitive nature contributes well towards emphasis and overall catchiness of the song *2. Their music cannot be easily categorised with "fellow" bands Slipknot and Korn. Despite popular belief, their music fluctuates from song to song, depending on the theme ("Mind" to "Roulette". They are atheists and on the whole against the way that the world is governed. Such popular songs include "Chop Suey" and "Toxicity." Their name derives from a poem called "Victims of a Down"

a band that is the closest thing to people playing hockey in a department store in the sky, and the songs playing are the songs by them, and people who disect a band's style of playing, think they're guinesses, and then call the band crap, are a far ways away.
geez that hockey game was so good you'd think it was a system of a down
Yes, system of a down is great
Yes, system of a down is great
