anyone like SOAD? I thought toxicity was pretty good.

anyway, I just downloaded some pre-master version of what seems to be an upcoming album and it smells terrible. everything i liked about them, their creativity, independence bla bla bla - is nullified as this sounds exactly like toxicity, really, in that everything that was original and quirky about their voice and stylings before is made an instant cliche here. I would have hoped for better for their own sakes. ah well

I like them...have both CDs.

Uh...why'd I reply again?

I really hate them music-wise, but when i found out that they were all Georgian i started liking them a bit

Toxicity was already a self-parody. Their self-titled one was ok but nothing to get excited about.

edit: Shizo, I thought they were from somewhere near the Mediterranean. Am I just being gullible?

Toxicity sounds like one long annoying song that never ends...

Track distinguishability is almost zero.

I like them. They are silly. But what I really wanted to say was i heard they were Armenian.

That's also what I heard, Nimr0d. And they're okay, I guess. Much better metal out there.

Armenian then they are, i wasn't sure what it's called in English hehe.
Some names of countries sound different in English. Where is Georgia then?

Georgia is a US state.

Or a former Republic of the U.S.S.R.

Ill look up what its called on the map, and maybe find a translation..

What can I say, I'm a stickler for detail.

Ok i was close, Armenia is right next to Georgia. And i still didn't figure out the Russian name for it :0

Stalin was from Georgia.

Interesting FACT #5238428842.

Aha! Then i know what it is in Russian.
Georgia = Gruzija

Should I be taking notes? Will there be a quiz later?

ValarianROOT: They tell me was looking for a soul to steal. Something about being in a bind, 'cuz he was running behind, and willing to make a deal.

I just wonder where in America are they from. It must be a pretty populated region by Gruzin's

Holy Shit - I just noticed that lake feeding into (or maybe out of) the Kura river has one HELL of name... I mean, Mingechaurskoye Vodokhranilishche?!?!?!

Why are the members of the band always shown so much in music videos? Like in "Arials(sp?)", where they show the weird alien kid half the time and the other half is devoted to shots of the lead singer guy bouncing around with his eyes closed like he's singing about something incredibly deep. It's so contrived.

[Shizo] · member Member # Joined: 22 Oct 1999 Posts: 3938

Yes yes, that's so MTV

THats why i DONT like them too hehe.

yep in that same video there's a scene with the alien hanging out with rappers or somethhing and a car with hydraulics going up and down. total irrelevancy award goes to that scene. I mean it's so sad that whatever goes on MTV must be produced along a certain set of prefab features to the point that we have a bouncing ghetto-mobile in a system of a down video.
