It really is just so damn good.
>>128240518Aerials is the best song.
ok boomer
I never could like most Beatles' songs. Daron loves the Beatles, though. Weird.
>>128240523concuerdo
Just an 8/10. Extremely overrated; listen to Maximum the Hormone instead, nigga.
>>128241497>I don't like the fact that so many people like this.Ok retard.
Going to see them live for the first time in my life. I grew up in a 3rd world country and was never able to see my favourite bands. I'm seriously anxious and constantly thinking about not getting a good spot in the crowd, I don't know how soon I have to be there.
>>128242654I saw them in the South America tour this year. Here are some tips:I was there in the line/queue to enter the gates since some 3 hours before they opened them for us to enter, and 8 hours before System got up on stage, and there was already a very big line of people (going through some 5, 6 or more street blocks/quarters), but it was worth it, because when I was inside I could get a good spot, near to the stage. So if it's possible for you, arrive there very early. If it's not possible, just try to enter normally and take the best spot you can.If there are blank spaces in the crowd (not even with backpacks or other items on the ground to mark the spot), you can gently walk and take it as your spot. If someone complains, you can talk to them and try to come to an agreement, but fighting is not worth the danger and the negate feelings while on the show. When I gently took these blank spaces (with people on the back and front of it), no one bothered. Some people take places in front of you as time passes, too, so if you're not being able to see the stage as much as you could before, you can talk to them as in checking whether they're gonna stay there or whether they are just trying to pass. Some people notice they hindered your field of view when you ask that and try to help it by changing their positions a little bit.Daron normally is on the left side of the stage, Serj and John at the center, and Shavo at the right side, if you have the preference for getting closer to one of them to see him better. In my case, I wanted to be closer to Daron.(1/2)
>>128243463Don't eat a lot before the show, because you can want to go the bathroom while waiting for the band or while they are playing, which you don't want to happen, because it's very hard to get out of the crowd and search for a chemical toilet to use. And when you're done in the toilet, it will be very hard to get to the spot where you were. If you're gonna eat (be it in your house before the show or in the show, buying food there) eat little and be sure to use the bathroom if you need it before the show starts, otherwise you can end up shitting your pants.People bring fire flares to the show and like to jump a lot and form mosh pits. Unless you feel you're really safe and really want to enter the mosh pit, don't enter. They can be dangerous because, if you fall to the ground, people will step and trample you, which can break your ribs, or nose, hit your eyes so you'll close them and reflex and not be able to see anything, etc. You can stay outside the mosh pit, jump to the songs, and the experience is cool too.You can get closer to the stage while people are agitated and changing their spots randomly when the show has already begun, but remember that the closer you get to the stage, the more agitated people are, generally speaking. I used their random change of spots to get closer to the stage, but among all the agitation I found a girl who was crying and people were opening space to help her get to the emergency room, probably because she got bruised or someone accidently punched her while dancing. So be careful if you're gonna try to approach the stage.It's hard to keep near to a friend if you're going with one as soon as the songs start, because people get very agitated and change spots constatly, as I said.(2/2)
>>128240518i worked at hot topic when this album came out and they literally played it non-stop, i didn't mind though it's a good album
it sucks and blows
>>128240607Daron is a histrionic attention whore and probably the worst member of the band.
>>128243889>Daron is a histrionic attention whore and probably the worst member of the band.although integral to the band I should add.
>>128240518Serj has an objectively incredible voice. No denying that.
>>128242501>Complete strawman with no relationship to what was said on the reply.Ok retard.
>>128246928Umm no I was explaining to you what 'overrated' means
>>128243470>>128243463I'm afraid of having to pee. I'm not going alone and now I have to convince everyone not to drink before.>mosh pitsI didn't expect that many and such rude people in there. I've been to only 2 shows so far and everyone was nice when it came to mosh pits, the picked people up and no one seemed to be overly aggressive (not a hardcore show).
Their first album is the best. Daron sadly opens his mouth still so it isnt perfect.
There's a reason they're in the metal top 3 popularity-wise.
>>128249053>I'm afraid of having to pee. I'm not going alone and now I have to convince everyone not to drink before.In my case, I ate/drank not much and used the bathroom too, before leaving my house. I think you guys can do that too. When the show was happening, the team responsible for taking care of everyone threw water plastic bottles to us (for free). And many people would get them and drink. Other people would even buy beer and meals that were offered to us by other merchants. I don't know how they managed to drink/eat there and not feel the need to pee or shit. In my case, I decided to not take the bottles as I as felt I was gonna be in need of peeing.>I didn't expect that many and such rude people in there. I've been to only 2 shows so far and everyone was nice when it came to mosh pits, the picked people up and no one seemed to be overly aggressive (not a hardcore show).It's not that they are necessarily rude, it's just that there's too many people and too much movement, and the movement is too heavy and frenetic at a metal show. So if you fall, because there's too many people, it will be hard for most jumping people to see you're laid on the ground. And if you fall, people can accidently trample you (or in the case that they are irresponsible, they can just not care about you and trample you knowing you're laid there) and injure you, as I said. So it's very risky. By the way, always try to stay standing. To do this, you need to counterbalance the force applied to you by both the people at your back (using your legs to push yourself backwards) and at your front (using your hands/arms to push yourself frontwards), depending on whether you're feeling force from your back or front. It gets very intense when everyone's jumping in heavier songs and when for example Daron tells everyone to spin around in the end of Toxicity etc. So be careful.

Its a masterpiece. Every aspect of it is well done. Especially the drums/vocals. The singles stand out, while not being timeless, they've stood the test of time>>128241497>Listen to thing japan instead>>128246767He did
Aizerbaijan mentioned!!
>>128249053>I'm afraid of having to pee. I'm not going alone and now I have to convince everyone not to drink before.I thought those were new SoaD lyrics
>>128241497Maximum the Hormone is mainstream overhyped bs bro, you gotta listen to Kebyo or you're just another simp to the system bro
