#Hypnotize system of a down full#

Mezmerize was already an album full of drive and energy, but Hypnotize takes the cake. Of A Down take you on an intensive tour through rock, metal, folk, pop and more.

Where Mezmerize started up with a slow introduction, only to proceed into fast, mind-blowing rock, Hypnotize takes the opposite approach and puts you straight in the intensity that riddles the twelve songs, proceeding – eventually – into slower, more melodious music. It's also a good reflection of the kind of lyrics you'll encounter when listening to songs like She's Of A Down changes the speed of the song on the go, many times over, and this is a trademark of the whole album. The song is a perfect representation of the overall feel of Hypnotize. Of Obscenity will have you urging to jump and scream along. Intensive tour through rock, metal, folk, pop and more The band's proud Armenian heritage, and the song's elegiac melodies and moments of blind rage make for a devastating combination. Mountains, meanwhile, is the best song on the album, a highly emotional account of the slaughter of one and a half million Armenians at the hands of the Ottoman Turks during and after World War One. Rock 'n' Roll is a good example of how the band is able to incorporate such disparate influences as metal and ska and blend the two with enough subtlety to make the shift in style less jarring. The feeling of the song is very similar to the Mezmerize flavor and it is very apparent that this was part of the same recording sessions. It has the same searing political commentary underpinning the lyric, regardless of the issue they choose to focus on. Of A Down, with the distinctive vocals of Tankian and Malakian, the clock tick intro beats, the building pace and intensity. The title track Hypnotize captures the spirit of System Society contains some of Malakian's most effective vocal work, as he channels the nervous delivery of Jello Biafra during the breakdown. The crunching Dreaming sustains the momentum, highlighted by Tankian's soaring lead vocals, while the more hardcore punk-fueled Stealing Of A Down can do so well, with sharp, staccato riffs by guitarist Daron Malakian, the tempo shifting from mid-paced chugging, to double-time thrash, to frenzied beats by drummer John Dolmayan, with the baritone/tenor lead vocal combination of Serj Tankian and Malakian working especially well. The beginning of Hypnotize sounds like the band is in mid-stride, as Attack returns to the kind of no-frills ferocity System Sharp, staccato riffs, frenzied beats and effective vocal work This is the ideal combination of what System Of A Down managed to blend both Daron and Serj voices perfectly, while also perfectly mishmashing guitar crunching with well-organized riffs. Anyone who had doubts of a band selling out when Daron Malakian started singing will have their doubts thrown right back at them. Of A Down's standard nu-metal sound, but experiments with different guitar influences, even funk. Or maybe not a follow-up, because these two albums unite to form one in more ways than just musically. Of A Down released its direct follow-up, Hypnotize. About six months after the release of Mezmerize, System

Their most accomplished outing to date, Mezmerize lived up to all the heightened expectations, delivering a hair-raising blast of modern metal, fused with punk and Eastern European musical influences, and held together by a maniacal creative spirit, offering the kind of musical variety that highlighted 2001's Toxicity, but sounding much more cohesive. Of A Down have always been political, have always been crazy, and have made songs with some very off the wall lyrics. And it's precisely because of that weird aggression/aggravation dynamic that Mezmerize/Hypnotize is as strong a concept/double album as metal can offer in 2005.System of a Down выпустили продолжение Mezmerize, альбом Hypnotize Of course, truth also drives SOAD to make passionate, if slightly screwy, decisions: Serj Tankian's ADD sputter of 'eat 'em eat 'em eat 'em eat 'em' and 'banana banana banana terracotta' on Hypnotize Mezmerize's detour into celebrity baseball game outtakes on 'Old School Hollywood.' These moments are head-scratchers, no doubt, but they're integral to the experience - System of a Down confound and irritate even as they rock. It drives the boiling rage in Hypnotize's 'Attack,' 'Stealing Society,' and 'U-Fig' on 'Holy Mountain,' it inspires SOAD to transform the sad facts of genocide into the album's most vicious, powerful, and arresting moment. Truth is the motor for System's spazzy, modernist thrash. But the extra cardboard slotting's a little extraneous, as are some of the sonic parts on both albums. Released in November 2005, roughly six months after its counterpart, Hypnotize does indeed feature a tri-fold design. It wasn't a lie when System of a Down said the packaging for Mezmerize and Hypnotize would slot together.
