 System of a Down just keeps on releasing classics... December 14, 2005
Hypnotize is the first and only single from the album "Hypnotize" from System of a Down, the second half of the Mezmerize/Hypnotize package. System of a Down has changed... for the better, or the worse? I think for the better. Not only have they make great songs that have been fast and crazy, but slow and melodic, jst like this song.
Hypnotize starts out slow, and starts to heat up. Like me, you probably won't like it, but it grows on you... and then you can't stop listening. This song is just amazing. The song has the typical System of a Down political meaning. This is definately one of System's best singles ever released, up there with "Chop Suey!", "Toxicity" and "B.Y.O.B." Even though this doesn't include the music video, it is pretty good. I think now that the CD is out, you should just pick that up but Hypnotize was still great.
As for the live track "Forest" from Toxicity, lead singer Serj Tankian does a great job, as well as the band behind him. I already thought that the studio version was great, and this live track proves that System of a Down is a great band, both live and in-studio. So, if you want to listen to this great song, which if you haven't you have been living under a rock, pick up the single for the live track. If you dont care for the live track, pick up the enture "Hypnotize" package!
Short, but good July 12, 2006
This isn't a long piece of SOAD, but for those who have never heard SOAD live should really get this.
