System Of A Down - Steal This Album - CD

Amazon Review

Following the breakup of Rage Against the Machine, System Of A Down rose to the throne of anti-establishment rock. And with this album, the Los Angeles-based quartet proves they deserve that crown.

Titleed a play on the late human rights activist Abbie Hoffman's book *Steal This Book*, this album features tracks from the mid-90s to 2001, but the band emphasizes it's not simply a collection of B-sides and outtakes. Indeed, listening to this album reveals System Of A Down at their peak. Driving the band's smart and diverse tracks is Serge's passionate staccato vocals. His Jello Biafra-esque vocals stand at the pinnacle of the band's majestic, edgy, metal-punk fusion sound. From the hilariously insane "Chic 'N' Stu" to "F**k the System," "A.D.D. (American Dream Disorder)," and "Boom!", the band prompts listeners to contemplate the unsettling changes of our times, perfectly matched by Serge's provocative lyrics. Maintaining their creative and fan-focused approach, they've also released four limited-edition CDs, each featuring artwork by one of the four members. This isn't escapist rock; it's a passionate and astonishing historical education through music, music that listeners can jump into and participate in. (Katherine Turman, Amazon.co.uk)
