If I ignore their liberal/socialist/communist politics I fucking love their older stuff (eg self-titled, Steal This Album, Toxicity). I appreciate what they're trying to accomplish trying to bring attention to the Armenian genocide since my stepmom is the daughter of an Armenian-immigrant mother and father, but I can't stand SOAD's politics. How do you reconcile your politics with music? Most liberal pansy ass groups don't sound this good.

I can ignore the politics and listen to music with ease.
I like a lot of what SOAD has put out. Toxicity is probably my favorite CD from them. |
|
I think they suck ass and sound like shit, but of course, YMMV.
The "why do they always send the poor" song is really fucking annoying |
|
i REALLY like their slower, non liberal / hate America message sending songs.
the rest of their songs are just a bunch of fucktards slamming on instruments and alot of additional ruckus. Lonely Day Aeriels Roulette |

Talented musician who completely discredit themselves by attacking the very system they have used to become millionaires, thus becoming irrelevant and laughable twats. also see: rage against the machine.
|
|
SoaD is fuckin savage.
one of my faves, by far :headbang: Serj has an amazing voice, the music is brilliant. I wish the drummer would shut up with the screaming though. |
|
I haven't heard many of their songs, but judging by the ones I have heard, I cannot fathom how anyone can find pleasure in listening to that noise.
Without a doubt, the worst group of noise makers I've ever heard in my life. The lead singer needs to suck start a 12ga. |
|
I don't care about the politics, but the music and singing itself sucks. Big time.

I agree 100% I saw rage against the machine in socal a couple of years ago,and the ''people of the sun'' were the ones cleaning up the trash afterwards.Slightly ironic |

Love the music and ignore their message. I do it with a lot of musicians. Life would get stale listening to Toby Keith and Ted Nugent all the time.

This. but i like the guitar riffs, so I tune out vocals when they come on the radio. This is pretty much where I am. I just kind of ignore their actual lyrics. I hear Serj's voice, but don't listen to what he says. Their guitar work fucking rocks though. |

If a group spends time working against the things that I hold important, they don't get a dime of my hard-earned cash.
Seriously, why would I add one dime to benefit their lifestyle? |

"why do they always send the poor" might be the dumbest thing ever said since "what's so civil about war anyway".
it's a volunteer army. |

Actually in the past I did actually buy a couple of their CD's, so... |
|
The difference between SOAD and Rage is that Rage can actually play.Other than that, both bands are hypocritical,spoiled,elitist cocksuckers.

|
If they would just shut up and sing, everything would be fine.
|
|
Funny, SOAD came on the second I clicked on this topic.
I like most of their stuff. |
|
|
|
I never liked anything they did and I didn't know about their politics until now.

Old stuff is good (1st CD and Steal This Album!) but since then... Not so much.
|
|
Quoted:
If I ignore their liberal/socialist/communist politics ... they still suck donkey balls. eta: RATM are intolerable pinko commie faggots also, but at least they have some damn good tunes. |
|
I like a few of their songs, but a lot I can't stand if I actually start to listen to the words.
|
|
Their stuff is much better when covered by hot chicks in wifebeaters on violins....
Don't believe me? See for yourself.. |
|
I like there old stuff. other then that there music is pretty bad.
|
|
The clearest, most amazing concert I've been to was System of a Down. I've been to quite a few concerts too.
|
|
I like them havent really heard any new stuff. But the old stuff is good aerials is one of my fav.
|
|
they are hippys, but they are hippys that ROCK!
I like them for their music, not their point of veiw |
|
We don't need your democracy.
Execute them kindly for me. Take them by their filthy nostrils Put them up in doggy hostels. |

Do not agree with their politics at all but LOVE the band. I also like Serj Tankian's (lead singer of SOAD) solo stuff.
