Editorial Reviews :
With Rage Against the Machine disbanded, System of a Down ascend to the political aggro-rock throne, and with Steal This Album, the Los Angeles-based quartet prove themselves worthy to wear the crown. A play on the late activist Abbie Hoffman’s Steal This Book, the album consists of 16 System songs from the mid-1990s through 2001. The band stresses the songs are not 'B-sides or outtakes'; in fact, they clearly show System at their apex. These smart, varied songs feature Serj's frenetic, staccato, Jello Biafra-like phrasing atop the band's edgy, commanding, metal-meets-punk base. From the funny, frantic 'Chic 'N' Stu,' to 'F**k the System,' 'A.D.D. (American Dream Disorder),' and 'Boom!' System keep listeners guessing with discomfiting time changes that match up with Serj's incendiary lyrics. In keeping with their creative, fan-oriented approach, System are releasing four limited runs of the CD, each version featuring artwork from a different band member. This is not escapist rock. It's an intense and eye-opening aural history lesson you can mosh to.
Buyer Reviews :
First of let me warn you System will not be touring for this album(let us all take a second and mourn). This is a really good CD. It's not as good as Toxicity but it's better than the self-titled debut. Some of the songs are a lot eaisier to figure out but some are just plain wierd(Chic'N'Stu) but who ever said weird was a bad thing.
Chic'N'Stu-The strangest song I've ever heard. Serj keeps going on about pizza. ' Pizza Pizza Pie '. But who knows it could be about advertisment causing therapy?
Innervision-Starts out good and heavy. It may be about finding what's really inside you or the government.
Bubbles-Another song that starts out good and heavy. Something about a power struggle. Good song.
Boom!-Very political song(about bombs.Kinda agree with them .). You can tell very easily. The song starts out with Serj(or Daron) speaking. Also talks about trying to find to find a way to peace.
Nuguns-Pretty good song.Maybe about Armenian genocide?
A.D.D.-Also known as American Dream Denial. Mostly about war.
Mr.Jack-Awsome song!Starts out slow but is still cool.
I-E-A-I-A-I-O-Best song on the CD. The song title is just the soud of the chorus. Cool screams. Serj makes this weird sound that will crack you up every single time you hear it even though it's supposed to be serious.
36-Very short song. I mean really fast. Pretty cool.It's 0:46 seconds long. about telivision.
Pictures-Pretty Mid-Eastern sounding. Serj goes ' Ba Ba Ba Baa'.
What does it mean?
Highway Song-Second best on album. Kinda slow in begining.
**** the System- Awsome song. Can't write out song title not aloud. Serj again is making insane noises.
Ego Brain-Starts out acoustic. Pretty cool
Thetawaves-Really cool song. Pretty fast singing.
Roulette-Increadable! All of it is just acoustic guitar with vocals. Really cool meaning. Makes you want it never to stop.I'm serious this song is breathtaking.
Streamline-Was on Scorpion King Soundtrack. Pretty cool, nothing to brag about.
This is an awsome CD. Go out and buy it if you want something to hold you of until the new one comes out. Keep on rocking.
