Mezmerize by SOAD

[fourstarfizzle]

Oh my god!!! What a fucking album!!

It's got all the elements of classic old school SOAD, but theres also new experimental stuff in there, especially on the likes of "Radio/Video" and "Old School Hollywood". I think their finest moments on the CD is "Sad Statue", it is purely classic SOAD style but with nice new bits in it. Also "Old School Hollywood" is a brilliant track with some really bone crunching riffs and a some Daft Punk style Electonic Voices by Serj, very interesting style.

The album on a whole, is just brilliant.

I hate you.

I hear B.Y.O.B for the first time yesterday, and it's brilliant. Can't wait for the album.

Listening to it right now; Sad Statue, BYOB, Violent Pornography, CIGARO, This Cocaine Makes Me Feel Like I'm On This Song, Radio/Video, and Old School Hollywood all kick ass. Definitely better then Steal This Album.

[ACCBiggz]

I'm not a huge SOAD fan anyway, but listening to BYOB over again... it has a few catchy parts, but I don't see whats all the hype about. A few other ones were ok... It's an ok album, not really my thing though.

I was informed by Gaby that I should check out the NIN album, so I may do that one next.

[triplexpac]

I haven't been too blown away by BYOB or Cigaro, but I'm still looking forward to this album. Not as much as the new NIN, but I'll still check it out.

You got your "advance copy" the same day the album leaked online eh?

The album's awesome, but my major complaint is that it is so ridiculously short (11 tracks, 36 minutes). If "Hypnotize" is this short, they probably should have released a double disc. Hell, if "Hypnotize" is this short, they could have released both on one disc. My personal favorite track is "Violent Pornography" for Serj's vocals.

Where can I get my "advanced copy"?

You can't.

[IAceI]

Getting it for my birthday as I am too cheap to get it myself, I've heard BYOB and have always liked SOAD, is this similar to most of their stuff.

[tristy]

Daren should replace Serj has the vocalist. He's great on Cigaro & Bring Your Own Bombs

[Ash J. Williams]

Naaaaaah....I couldn't handle a WHOLE song of Daren's vocals...he is good though.

[Krazy_K]

Holy Fuck.

I just creamed myself.

I am loving SOAD with a passion now. Bring on the second album.

I heard DYOD....

I was horribly dissapointed... everyone was claiming this song as if it was a new anthem, which it wasn't...

I'll probably hear a lot from them on the radio for the months to come, and if the other songs sound anything like DYOD, might as well turn my radio off.

*cough*BYOB*cough*

[Krazy_K]

I thought Cigaro and BYOB rocked.

They have nothing on Radio/Video, Violent Pornography and Lost In Hollywood.

I think the only two tracks I don't love are Sad Statue and The Cocaine Makes Me Feel Like I'm On This Song.

dang I wanna check this out...but no luck thus far in getting an...advanced copy

[TAFKA Castroneves]

Ok I heard it for the first time and thought, thats a good album.

But, the second time I really just fell in love with it. It was unbelievable :thumbsup:

Sad Statue is absolutly amazing, Radio/Video is top quality, Question, Old School Hollywood, argh its all brillant.

With all the hype I expected to be dissapointed, but here it is, and it's just mint.

[Liam]

Am I the only one mildly dissapointed so far?

Don't get me wrong, I like it...but its not as amazing as I probably expected.

[TAFKA Castroneves]

I was the first time I listened to it rvdwannabe, but then oddly I just fell in love with it the second time through.
