Music Debate #71: System of a Down

[Reed Rothchild | 9,521]

 

[Reed Rothchild | 9,521]

Part 4 of 4 for the 2000s

[mbd39 | 2,020]

I like them a lot. Solid 7/10, maybe 8 on a good day.

 

[Skorp | 383]

....and WAKE UP!!! I love that band. Always puts me in a good mood.

[Bearcat-Doug | 5,104]

5/10. They're okay, but not great.

[Hammerfestus | 3,836]

Really don’t know anything beyond first 2 albums.  Was stuck between 6 & 7.  Gave them benefit of the doubt.

[Gloves | 11,776]

One of my favorite bands.

[Calan87 | 45]

I think they're a damn good band

[RH | 4,903]

Never listened to them much but I never liked what I heard.

I use to be a camp counsellor at a summer camp when I was in college.  I have no clue why, but all of the kids thought I looked like the lead singer.  Personally, I don't see it.

Photo of me on my honeymoon back in 2005, which is about the earliest I could find on my PC.  I did have long hair, though, when I worked at the camp.

Huge SOAD fan here.

[noiseredux | 232]

5/10 for me. If I hear one of their songs, I generally like it. And I give them loads of credit for their actual talent. But not really music that I'm in the mood for all that often, as in actually listening to an album beginning to end.

[TDIRunner | 2,734]

I loved them in college, but I don't listen to them much today.  Probably a 6 today, but I would have said 8 back in college.  

[DefaultGen | 5,401]

I put 8. Sometimes they're a little too edgy for edginess sake, but Serj is an absolutely killer vocalist. I still have a few songs of theirs on my playlists.

[themisfit138 | 523]

5/10. I will listen to them on the radio. That’s about it.

That is also a possibility.

[Omerta | 47]

They’re pretty good. I went to one of their shows in Denver a bunch of years ago and I remember the live act being a positive experience.

Serj's voice is the single worst sounding thing on the planet. lol

 

If I could listen to instrumental tracks only, I'd like the band. But I cannot stand that dude's voice, phrasing, just all of it.
