My First Time Listening to Hypnotize by System Of A Down | My Reaction

[@elmo7455]

tentative is one of their most underrated songs, truly beautiful

[@mollyesanborn]

Yes, I love that track!

[@quovadiserdball4987]

agree absolutely

[@DeadlyWhispers]

I'm so glad someone agrees with me! This is one of my favourite songs from them and my partner always says that it's one of the worst ones hahaha I tell him he's wrong :P

[@realghostfootage]

my fave by them and i know all their songs! Mesmerize is a better album overall though

[@rikotheman2629]

One of my top 5 soad songs actually

[@Allrespect420seven10]

Fun facts: Kill Rock n' Roll is about a true story where Daron was driving home one night and it was really dark, and accidentally killed a rabbit, so he felt really bad about it and wrote the song. Holy mountains is about how the Ottoman turks committed the Armenian genocide, and took our mountains Masis and Ararat, 1.5 million Armenians we're massacred, I am personally Armenian and means alot Great reviews love them all! Keep it up Molly!

[@jakubbriza7274]

I always thought he accidentally ran over a dog (maybe even his own dog or a dog that belonged to someone who he knew), wonder how I came to that thought. But still, the main message remains.

[@ILikeCHEEZ9]

Serj is a heavy activist for Armenian rights. It's present in his solo music and he often posts on social media and uses his celebrity status to give to the communities

[@DissedRedEngie]

so, when he sings "eat all the grass that you want", it's about a bunny eating all the grass in bunny heaven, and not an euphemism for drugs?

[@ILikeCHEEZ9]

@@DissedRedEngie yea it's very literal

[@mollyesanborn]

Thank you for the song explanations! This is what I love about System Of A Down: an ode to a dead bunny rabbit and then later on a song addressing something as serious as a mass genocide. That really fits with the sound dynamic on this album too, how some tracks have a playful sound while others take on a more serious tone. I love how they go back and fourth on that.

[@davidbrantley6425]

Holy Mountains has all the SOAD hallmarks. Moody, political, dynamic tempos with classic punk finish

[@tomas_nehyba]

I also like how Mesmerize started with version of Soldier Side and Hypnotize ended with Soldier Side. Will you react to the 2 singles SOAD released in 2020?

[@mollyesanborn]

Yes, I love how they connected the two albums that way. Really cool! And I'll definitely give their two newest singles a listen now. Not sure if I'll do a reaction or not, but I'll consider it :)

[@SlickONick]

@@mollyesanborn I hope you did a reqction on them both! I wanna know your thoughts on how much they've changed or stayed the same. :P

[@GoPatsGoBrady12]

“System of a Down never gets old.” I was 16 when I heard them for the first time and now I’m almost 40…..I agree!

[@SathReacts]

Same! They were nuts at summer sanitarium 2000 in Baltimore.

[@eddiev00]

Your music reactions are awesome.

[@mollyesanborn]

Aw thank you, I appreciate that! ❤

[@Doubledexter]

Man hypnotize always blows my mind. Everytime I hear a song from that album I'm just blown away and want to re listen to the entire album. So many funny, depressing, aggressive, and deep interesting moments that make me appreciate their art. Daron shines a lot in this album and it's amazing. For any system fan each album has an aspect that's for them and this one features more Daron, amazing harmonies, and unique instrumentals. Thanks for reviewing these! I can't wait for you to rank all 5

[@mollyesanborn]

You summed this album up really well, funny at moments but also quite deep and melodic with its sound too. I love that it features Daron at times but there's still that great back and fourth dynamic with him and Serj. I'll definitely think about an album ranking now, although that will be very difficult to figure out which one is my favorite!

[@bobbob-cd9yl]

Hot take but correct take: Dreaming is the best SOAD song, it probs is a bit "much" with how heavy and rich it's intrumentals are but DAMN when relistening it is just so fucking good

[@chris5240]

I think some of their songs are so dense with auditory information that they require a few listens to parse

[@deviousraul]

Dreaming and Tentative are probably my favourites. I can't explain how much these two songs means to me, it just summons all of my deepest feelings all at once, and it's fucking good.

[@transracial5078]

the end has some of their best harmonizing

[@thefilmeffect6089]

Attack and Dreaming is the best one two punch to start out of all their albums imo.

[@BB13131313]

Vicinity of Obscenity is lowkey my favorite SOAD song.. sure they have more serious and thought provoking tracks, but Vicinity of Obscenity is so unique and fun, it makes me smile and chuckle everytime lol..

[@mollyesanborn]

Absolutely, one of my favorites from Hypnotize! Such a fun track.

[@so0pak5v9n]

This is my favorite System song to play on guitar. The fingering patterns of the intro and the verses are so much fun to play.

[@rainbowandre9580]

Banana banana banana banana terracotta Banana terracotta terracotta pie

[@XtremeKillah101]

And that intro riff is so fuckin sick

[@bobbob-cd9yl]

Yooooo been waiting on this. Hypnotize and mesmerize def had a unique sound vs their first few albums. Really appreciate you listening to all these artist's discovraphies because reactors legit do not listen to most SOAD songs that are not from Toxicity or popular ones such as BYOB. A ton of my fav songs from them are their lesser known ones, many of which are from "Steal this album!"

[@Bradford659]

Discographies

[@mollyesanborn]

Yes, I'm SO glad I dove into their entire discography! So many great tracks to discover and I loved every one of their albums. They all had their own unique flair to their sound.

[@RottenlyMoodyChild]

They really do never get old! They are timeless in my opinion. Still stands up today and still gives me goosebumps ❤ And absolutely love how they can go from super heavy and wild, to super hauntingly beautiful and melodic and make it work so seamlessly. Their transitions always blow me away with how smooth they are.

[@Danjoker.]

Stealing Society is one of my favorite SOAD songs. Serj and Daron's vocal dynamics are so fucking good.

[@jababokolishvili4171]

and they've NEVER played it live! still waiting

[@ext93]

I love that song too, especially the section where Daron starts with "Crack pipes"

[@4qu4h3x]

YES YES

[@qbert362]

It’s also possibly the catchiest thing SOAD have ever done

[@robertjones4361]

Ahhhhhhh my favorite little budding metalhead!!! Missed ya girl!

[@TheBrandonn]

Haha I love the facial expression in the thumbnail lol!!

[@mollyesanborn]

I call it my "I don't know what I just heard but I really liked it" face :D

[@Danjoker.]

This is the SOAD album that Daron sings the most. It's almost 40/60 between him and Serj.

[@mollyesanborn]

Really? That actually surprises me! I would have guessed Mezmerize, maybe Steal This Album would have been the album with the most vocals from Daron. Thanks for letting me know.

[@Danjoker.]

@@mollyesanborn he progressively sang more with each new album. You can hear him sing a lot more with his band Scars on Broadway.

[@romaretaylor9953]

@@Danjoker. it might be, kinda hard to tell between this and mezmerize but I think that’s in intentional since they were recorded within the same sessions

[@deathboyizzy8834]

This album has such a nice polished sound and sounds like they was so insane

[@mollyesanborn]

Yeah I love how they do that. Polished insanity, haha!

[@remor__]

What a great series this has been! System of a Down has another album/compilation called Storaged Melodies that's comprised of some of their unreleased songs and collaborations with other bands. I'd love to see a video on that album at some point in the future!

[@mollyesanborn]

Oh yeah, I forgot about Storaged Melodies! A few others have mentioned that in past SOAD videos I've done, I'll definitely have to give it a listen now.

[@MultiMiasma]

I'm glad you liked it. SOAD had a massive impact on me as a young teen back when this albums where released. It's always a pleasure to see someone else discovering their music and enjoying it. Their messages never get old and songs like Tentative or Attack are still relevant today with all that war in the world. To bad serj and daron can't get their shit together anymore when it comes to writing music. There's still so much amazing music out there. I can highly recommend to you the band Mastodon. I think you'd liked them. They also have a total unique sound like SOAD. Anyways, Thx for this great reaction series.

[@mollyesanborn]

Thank you!! Your comment made me happy to read, I love that fans of the band are enjoying these videos and sort of getting to re-listen to their music for the first time. That's really cool. I'll definitely have to check out Mastodon soon too, thanks for the suggestion.

[@fart54]

YES I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS

[@mollyesanborn]

Yay!!! Hope you enjoy it :)

[@rheathesaturnmoon9124]

Molly after "She's Like Heroin": 'I feel like Daron was more of the main vocalist in this song.' "Lonely Day": 'I'm about to ruin this man's whole career.' Also, I'm really glad you've listened to all of the SOAD albums. This is one of the best bands of the modern era, and they deserve the popularity they have. Love 'em so much.

[@ZombieRoca]

I’ve been waiting for this one. If you truly want to continue your System of a Down journey, I recommend you listen to Serj Tankians first album “Elect The Dead” and/or Daron Malakians first album Scars On Broadway. They aren’t exactly System of a Down but you can see how they together make System of a Down and how unique they are on their own.

[@mollyesanborn]

Thanks for letting me know, I'll definitely have to give them both a listen!

[@RudMuss]

Great reaction on this album! Im so glad you got to hear almost all their songs, they released 2 new ones called Genocidal Humanoidz and Protect the Land. And if you loved their songs you’ll love Darons band scars on broadway, their first album was supposed to be the 6th soad album but it’s still an amazing album even without serj

[@mollyesanborn]

Thanks for letting me know, I'll definitely have to give their two new songs a listen now. And I'm planning on checking out Scars On Broadway too, not sure yet if I'll do a reaction video to it but I'm looking forward to hearing it either way!

[@Marcin.K380]

If you really like SOAD and will still listen to them in your free time I'd recommend listening to their live performances from 2002-5. From my experience - at first they may sound a little bit repulsive but after a few times they just feel like different songs. And the vocals sometimes are even better than studio. What Id also recommend is listening to their covers like snowblind or out of albums songs like metro. You could also check on darons solo career - scars on broadway. It maintained the SOAD soul. And to finish my enumeration there are still 2 more "main" songs to listen to - their newest songs from protect the land released in 2020. Nice reaction video and to everyone who is reading this: have a nice day!

[@mollyesanborn]

Thanks for letting me know! Sounds like I've still got some more System Of A Down exploring to do :)

[@haiderkhan6486]

That U-fig reaction was chef's kiss. That part always gets everyone. Got me too first time listening!

[@redfivestandingbye3668]

Memorize and Hypnotize are musical masterpieces! I'm sad SOAD hasn't done much since... But honestly I can't think of a bad song by them! So even if they never make another album they've already achieved legendary status! Another group you should absolutely check out if you haven't (either in your free time or on video) is Streetlight Manifesto they're pretty f@#$ing dope!

[@mollyesanborn]

I know, I'm a bit sad that my SOAD journey ends here (at least for their main studio albums). I've enjoyed every minute of it though, they're such a unique band that always delivers on each and every one of their albums. I'll have to check out your suggestion, I don't believe I'm familiar with Streetlight Manifesto.

[@samuelmcgovern]

It's common for SOAD fans to respectfully disagree on favourite albums, all the while respecting anyone's list because there isn't a weak record out of the bunch. It'd be great to see you return to these by doing your take on a SOAD: Worst to Best.

[@mollyesanborn]

I'll have to keep that idea in mind!

[@sriver004]

I was in High School when this album came out and imagine one of your first rock experiences ever to be Mesmerize and Hypnotize lol my friends had been converting me from rap/hip-hop to rock, and they started me off with Linkin Park which I really enjoyed, then moved me up to Mesmerize and Hypnotize, which was insanity to me lol But the fact that these albums were so melodic, even jazzy in some, made the transition easy. Specially with how wacky some of these songs were. I knew they were something special, despite me being new to rock. If you want more Serj and Daron, I'd recommend listening to their solo albums. The obvious bummer here being that we can't get more duet songs of their two voices, but they each have 2 solid albums. Serj has seeveral i believe, but I think his first two are the ones worth listening to, "Elect the Dead" and "Harakiri". Daron made his solo band Scars on Broadway which is a self titled album. Then more recently he kind of rebranded it to Daron Malakian and Scars on Broadway, with an album from a few years ago called Dictator.

[@aqsw57]

Damn same, first LP and then SOAD. I was 14 when my cousin gave me meteora and live in texas and then one of my friends gave me mezmerize and some months later hypnotize

[@sriver004]

@@aqsw57 after System they graduated me to Slipknot LOL yeah I was 16 when I got introduced to rock. So many albums from that era were just bangers. Every single track gold type of thing. Taking Back Sunday, All American Rejects, Silverstein, etc. Good times.

[@mollyesanborn]

Yeah I feel that System Of A Down is a great gateway band for new listeners just getting into metal/nu metal for that very reason, they're very jazzy and melodic at times with their sound and as crazy as their music can be that aspect of it makes it more palatable in a way. And I'll definitely have to check out Daron and Serj's solo stuff now, I'm curious to hear what they sound like separate from each other.

[@trueform2348]

The SOAD journey doesn't end there, they released 2 new songs the end of 2020: Genocidal Humanoidz and Protect The Land. You'll have to react to those too.

[@jons_7402]

A little observation: they put the same grunt at the end of both Kill Rock n' Roll and Cigaro. And the "falling bomb" sound effect at the end of Lonely Day is the same one at the end of Soldier Side (Intro). It probably doesn't mean anything special, but I always felt it gave some sort of connectivity to these two albums.

YOOOO LET'S GOOO! I've been waiting for this so bad, the absolute banger of a close up to teir discog, I adore this album in particular so much. It mixes up so well all of their previous ideas and sounds with the more unique traits of this one, it being the overall more complexity in their instrumental while mantaining an absolute insane groovyness and melody throughout the record. And let's not forget the aggressiveness, it blends so well with the more quiet and melodic elements. The stand outs of this record for me are probably Holy Mountains, U-Fig, Kill Rock'n Roll, Stealing Society and Soldier Side, wich is honestly one of the best closer tracks I've ever heard.

[@JUJUJUNO]

Actually, not a close up per se, I forgot they released some singles a while ago with a beneficent campaing. Still, the last LP.

Mezmerize & Hypnotize album are SO good to listen to together. :D

[@Dankmemes555]

YESSS!!!!! MORE SOAD REACTIONS!!!!!

[@heavytherapy]

This is my fav SOAD album and it's not even close.

[@derrickallen2419]

This is my favorite album if theirs, and I'm glad that you enjoyed it too!

[@metalmania3678]

I love this album, congrats on 15k!

[@mollyesanborn]

Thank you! And yeah, Hypnotize is fantastic. A great album to close out my System Of A Down journey on.

[@danimalman3]

I used to blast this album while playing Halo 3. Those were the days man.

I really loved every single one of your reactions to the albums of my favorite band and the one I started in the rock/metal world when I was a kid, really thank you very much and I'm so glad you liked the albums, it would be great if you could also react to their last 2 songs after so many years without making another album (And which is almost impossible to come out), the songs are "They Protect the land and Genocidal Humanoidz" were made to support the problems faced by the Armenian people recently, it is not an album but those two songs brought a lot of hope for the Armenians and for the fans that we had many years waiting, greetings and best wishes Molly, I will continue to enjoy your reactions Edit: You should check the solo album's from Serj and the second band that formed Daron and John (the drummer) called Scars on Broadway!

[@mollyesanborn]

Thanks for this comment! I'm so glad that you enjoyed the SOAD videos, they're a truly amazing band and so unique with their sound. I'll definitely have to give their two newest singles a listen now, as well as Daron and Serj's solo projects.

[@kaknazebali6073]

One song has forgotten - Shame (Feat. RZA). :)

[@jumbopaulo]

every song in this album is my favorite

[@jakubbriza7274]

My favourite album alongside with Toxicity. Good memories of listening to them.

[@jakubbriza7274]

Kill Rock 'n Roll is actually pretty sad song.

[@Bandito2304]

WOOO!!!

[@mollyesanborn]

:D

[@alessoguiven]

Nice reaction, congratulations! You should react on System of a Down´s STORAGED MELODIES. Its kind of a non official SOAD album made by hardcore fans who desesperately collected all hidden tracks that where never included on official albums, even collabs they made with other artists, waiting for a sixth album that never arrived :( Give it a look 🤘
