It would be a violation of forum rules for me to express my reasons for why I hate SOAD.

System of a Down is pure crap. I used to like them, but then I actually listened to them, and threw away all their CDs and deleted all their music from my computer and iPod. Also, insanolord, you should get Pinkerton too, even though it's nothing like any of their other albums (they're actually ashamed of that album, from what I've read in interviews). Make Believe isn't all that great, but they're are a couple fantastic songs on that album (Perfect Situation and Such a Pity come to mind), Maladroit was better if you ask me.

Nothing like the other ones is good if it means nothing like the first one.

I was thinking of the "rules and common courtesy apply" bit but ok

SOAD suck because they make bad music. The drummer is decent, but Daron plays (played) every instrument now (and hes not that talented to take such a position) and completely ruined the band. They should have changed the name to System of a Daron. They're just not good. Tune the 6th string down to D and play a few power chords, another song in the bank.

LOL I said that same thing about SOAD and Drop-D

BranDonk Kong · « **Reply #31 on:** May 23, 2008, 07:14:49 PM »

Drop D is weak, most of the time. It totally limits the low-end chords. If you want to hit that open D, just tune the whole guitar down and learn how to play it.

Let's get this topic back on track.

Pork and Beans music video

It's not a bad video, but not up to par with some of their greats. Song's catchy. Better than Beverly Hills, but that's not saying much.

PINKERTON IS STILL THEIR BEST WORK.

EasyCure · « **Reply #33 on:** May 23, 2008, 07:38:11 PM »

ugh please dont mention beverly hills. that song should of never made it on the album and is in no way representative of how the album sounds. that and 'we are all on drugs'

edit: i really like this video. Its one of those songs that feels like it was written and meant to be a single but not to boost sales, just to get a message across using a mainstream beat to do so. Its reaks of abusing the industry, i love it.

BranDonk Kong · « **Reply #34 on:** May 24, 2008, 12:32:05 AM »

Actually that was the last song made for the album, and they made it because Geffen Records told them there wasn't enough "commercial material" on the album. It's kind of like a "**** you" aimed at Geffen.

BranDonk Kong · « **Reply #35 on:** May 24, 2008, 12:36:42 AM »

Wow, that's actually one of the best music videos I've seen in a looooong time. It's pretty cool that they got all of those people to be in it.

I could not agree more. They were AWESOME all the way up until the release of Mezmerize/Hypnotize. Those CDs have a couple songs worth listening to and that's it. Daron is a douche and he pisses me off. Serj released his own solo stuff and it is more reminiscent of older SOAD. That stuff is great too.

As far as the politics go, who cares? Does anybody seriously listen to anything they have to say? I just love Serj's vocal style and their abnormal timings and beat structures. I'd say that saying they're terrible is pretty incorrect as it simply comes down to preference. I don't particularly like Weezer, but that doesn't make them terrible, it just means I don't like them.

No Mr. Jack I don't listen to their politics. I was just pointing it out

, cause he's a douche. My favorite band's ex-lead was the same way hahaha.

I'm going to go a little off topic and talk a bit about Weezer in this System of a Down thread. I took vudu's advice and downloaded Pinkerton, and I enjoyed it, and unlike the first one I'm sure that I'll listen to it again. In the future I shall defer to vudu's judgment. If I stick to that I will almost certainly regret it.

EasyCure · « **Reply #41 on:** May 27, 2008, 09:26:43 PM »

pshhhh Weezer (blue) aint that bad..

vudu · « **Reply #42 on:** May 29, 2008, 11:01:37 PM »

So I acquired the full album last week. It's a lot better than Make Believe, although the jury is still in deliberation about how it compares to Maladroit. First three are all better than this one. (I'll still buy it.)

So I am confused, these guys actually have more than one "self-titled" cd, so they have 3 cd's all just called Weezer nothing else? How do you distinguish one from another?

There's Weezer (1994) AKA the Blue Album
and Weezer (2001) AKA the Green Album
and now Weezer (2008) AKA the Red Album

Whoa - Google ads in action! There's an ad for the Red Album at the bottom of this page.
