System of a Down: Toxicity

System of a Down, I'll admit, is one of my favorite bands. Their music is ecclectic and sort of a mix of punk and heavy metal. This band is like Michael Jackson or Weird Al Yankovic: you either love them or hate them. No one "tolerates" or is indifferent to System of a Down once they've heard them.

This album is one of their many albums (a couple of which are linked here), but in my opinion might be their best. It's probably the most political of all their albums, which is saying something since they are a very politically-charged band.

I would highly recommend this album to anyone who likes SoD's music (or hasn't heard it before). Great songs like The Prison Song, Deer Dance, and Aerials make this album a must-have. Every track is great!
