Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
The second in System Of A Down’s projected 2005 two-album set picks up where its predecessor Mezmerize left off, melding together bug-eyed political rage, complex prog-metal, and incomprehensible lyrical absurdities and packaging them all together in one of the ugliest sleeves ever seen in Christendom.

Mind you, to be aesthetically pleasing is not System’s way: "She’s On Heroin" and "Stealing Society" are lurid snapshots of society at its most grotesque, schizophrenic canvases of thrash metal and dizzying Cossack rhythms as warped and twisted as the drug addicts and insane dictators they inevitably depict. A bizarre highlight comes in the shape of "Victim Of Obscenity", where frontman Serj Tankian chants "Banana banana banana terracotta/ Banana terracotta pie". As with Mezmerize, Hypnotize finds guitarist Daron Malakian handling many of the vocal duties: he takes the lead on "Kill Rock’n’Roll", declaring "I felt like the biggest asshole/When I killed your rock’n’roll", and again on the uncharacteristically slow, emotive "Lonely Day". If anything, though, this is a heavier, more bewildering work than its predecessor. An album to sort out the men from the boys – Louis Pattison

From the Label
Produced by Rick Rubin and Daron Malakian, Hypnotize maintains System of a Down’s reputation as full-spectrum agitators who adeptly channel righteous rage into compelling, provocative and relevant rock. Daron, singer Serj Tankian, bassist Shavo Odadjian and drummer John Dolmayan recorded some 30 tracks for Mezmerize/Hypnotize at Rubin's Laurel Canyon studio between May and December of 2004. The songs are more complex, more progressive, more unorthodox and more experimental than ever, while retaining the idiosyncratic, ironic and schizophrenic qualities that make System of a Down so distinctive.

5.0 out of 5 stars Now that's one damn fine album!, 22 Nov 2005
By A Customer
I'm gonna have to say this is the best System of a Down album, and just goes to prove why they won Best Alternative at the MTV awards, and I love every song on it. Favourites being..... Soldier Side, Kill Rock 'n' Roll, Hypnotize, Tentative, Vicinty of Obscenity, Dreaming, Lonely Day (ok so that's most of the album. Although just a word of caution, if you didn't like Mezmerize that much (as I know some people didn't) and especially the last four songs, then you may want to be cautious here, because this isn't a really heavy album, so people who were expecting something like the first or second albums be warned. But of course that's where System of a Down excel, they aren't afraid to try something new and radically different, and this album fills both, and with some of the most powerful political songs I've ever heard this is sure to be a great hit.

5.0 out of 5 stars hydrocloptic-perrifertingular, 5 Dec 2005
imagine a world with no fresh fruit, i cant. so this album is to a greater degree, comperable to finding a vanity case full of firm dew spangled apricots. i cant say fairer than that.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best of the two!, 5 Feb 2006
By Holy Smoke (Somewhere in Time) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
System of a down have definately pulled off another classic album yet again. The song writing has improved on this release from Mezmerize which I felt wasn't a little bit weak on song writing in areas. Hypnotize makes up for that with some of the best melodies I've heard in a good long while. The album features your usual System quirky songs like "vicinity of obsenity" which is very weird (but in a good and quite funny way). But also some unexpected classics like the single "hypnotize" and "stealing society". There are a few tracks that I skip "dreaming" and "soldier side" but other than a couple its a very enjoyable listen from start to finish. I will definately be playing this more than mezmerize as its certainly the stronger album of the two.
Highly Recommended!
