7.1

“In the past six months, System of a Down have doubled their album output: In May, the critically successful quartet delivered *Mezmerize*, an 11-song, 36-minute blast of hyper-aggressive riffing, breakneck rhythm shifts, and Middle Eastern accented melodies. Six months later, they're offering the second side of the album, *Hypnotize*, which is meant as a companion piece; *Mezmerize*'s "Soldier Sid”

“**💭 Thoughts:** Some parts of this album feel like you’re watching a play, mainly due to Serj Tankian’s vocal style, which I’m not a huge fan of. I do somewhat understand why someone could like this, but it’s not for me. **🎶 Tracklist Review** 1.) Prison Song 🟡 2.) Needles 🟡 3.) Deer Dance 🟢 4.) Jet Pilot 🟢 5.) X 🔵🥉 6.) Chop Suey! 🔵🥈 7.)
