[@DanPantzig]

The way I got into SOAD was pretty great. A buddy of mine had bought the first album, and didn't particularly care for it. He comes to me and says "Hey you like weird shit, you can have this!" and gave me the CD. I listened to it after he left, called him up and was like "YOU DON'T LIKE THIS?!" It was love at first listen for me. Bought Toxicity day one too. That's about where it ends though. My punkhouse buddies absolutely ruined Steal This Album, and the rest I don't care about.

[@kwumbo7260]

[@DC11GTR]

The breakdown in Sugar is right up there with some of the best NYHC breakdowns.

[@adenlarios]

System of a Down is top down the greatest band I have ever listened to. It has every reason for it to suck yet manages to balance all the chaos so perfectly combined with genuinelly well written lyrics make hands dowm the greatest band I have ever heard.

[@hdervish2497]

The first album is so perfect and it hits me just as hard now as it did when i was 14

[@Renegade666]

I think Steal this album is highly underrated! Check out Mr Jack, Innervision, and the whole last few songs are just really solid, it almost goes back to the first album in terms of heaviness.

[@TIDoesAnything228]

I agree with Mezmerize being the best SOAD album. I absolutely love most of the songs on it like Radio/Video, Soldier Side - Intro, Old School Hollywood, and Cigaro too. Absolutely legendary. Hearing those songs was what made me want to get into guitar and start playing it.

[@Thomatos200]

7:38 YESS, I would listen to this on repeat as a cd when i would go to sleep, and just in general. It never gets old, honestly my very favorite album from them. I am sad you didn't get to sad statue on the album tho :(

[@JustA_NiceGuy]

I recommend Rust In Peace by Megadeth, it’s a great album, you should definitely listen to it!!

Soad Is one of the few bands with flawless discography that I can listen without skipping a single track, I put the m alongside Death

[@chwthomas09]

The fact Lost In Hollywood and Soldier Side weren't mentioned in this vid feels like a crime.

[@lizakolganova7608]

Serj has the most amazing and unique voice in the modern rock, just love him so very freaking much. SOAD and their music have personality bigger than all current top-40 artists combined.

[@alomtz4359]

This is my favorite band ever since I was 8 so I already listened to everything they’ve got, still a great video ✨

[@metalguitaridk]

hypnotize is rly damn underrated, holy mountains is such a great track, still toxicity of course is the n.1 for me. (hypnotize was at one point) my list is: 1. toxicity 2. hypnotize 3. self titled 4. mesmerize 5. steal this album

[@LordErmac2000]

It's not underrated, what I think is that SOAD have 5 great albums, and none of them can be considered bad, if you like music in general they're great, cuz I know some did not quite like the latest album since they don't have the raw sound of the first two albums, Hypnotize has Vicinity of obscenity, what a banger! It was the first song I heard from them and my introduction to metal.

[@blasphemizerr]

i only started to listen to soad cause my sister really likes them, i heard them a lot back then but only their more popular songs but thats about it, now i know the entire discography

never thought about it, It's probably just a silly ironic name since the song talks about serious shit

That clip when talking about a car boot sale might be the best deep cut I've ever seen. You sir have cemented yourself as a legend.

[@that44rdv4rk]

yeah, that's about right. I might have switched mesmerize and toxicity, just because mesmerize is more "interesting" of a listen, in my opinion.

[@amishbhaskar3264]

Hey bradley keep up with what you are doing it's really inspiring. I had a question for example you are playing a lead line, melody or solo 1) do you hear in ontervals 2) you hear and thenknow where are all the intervals 3 when playing solo do you prallely think that bend from b5 to 7 and then this lick then 4 and 5 hammer on If yes then what should I do to achieve same level

[@want.to.b3.gamer670]

Personally. 1 Hypnotized-holy mountain tentative attack 2 toxicity - awta deer dance and prison song. 3 self title ddevil sugar pluck 4 memorized question BYOB Cigaro 5steal this album Mr Jack innervision

[@ricequin]

I’m an outlier with my experience with SOAD. I bought and loved their debut when it came out but never listened to Toxicity until years after it came out. I had a lot going on in my life that meant I stopped paying attention to new music for ages. I know most people came onboard with their 2000’s stuff and heard the debut later.

[@fuckamericanidiot]

I loved the first album instantly but it took me decades to truly appreciate the greatness of Toxicity. Everything else I'm not fussed about.

[@KseniaChekmaryova]

My older brother introduced me to SOAD when I was 9, and I fell in love with the band instantly. One day I decided to listen to BYOB in the class during a break, my teacher would make fun of me, she thought it's too much for a 10 yo girl. My bro is now 30, he's a husband and a father of two. And I'm still a metalhead 🤘🤘🤘

[@carlosnieto226]

Wasn’t Serj done by the mesmerize/ hypnotize. I could be wrong but I remember Daron taking over writing duties which was one of the main reasons why they took a hiatus. Well according to them.

IF HYPNOTIZE AND MESMERIZE DIDN'T SOUND LIKE SHIT (in terms of the dialed guitar tone and the general sound itself of the band not sound in terms of composition but just sound): TOXICITY > SELF TITLED > HYPNOTIZE > MESMERIZE > STEAL THIS ALBUM but since they ruined their sound by the end....

[@OliFant81]

20-year-old me would have probably agreed with your list, but the one that's aged the best in my view remains the first album. In retrospect, I feel like they increased the 'cringe' level album after album "because that's what people expect us to do." The first one sounds more authentic. I'm well aware this is totally subjective though

[@TheRealJoeNathan]

1. Toxicity 2. Mesmerize 3. Steal This Album 4. System of a Down 5. Hypnotize

[@burlyzulu]

I really can’t stand Steal This Album. I think self titled and Toxicity are amazing and Mezmerize and Hypnotize are really good and would be way better if you take out Daron’s singing or lower it a lot.
