@@pa1nted eh, toxicity is my least favorite system album. Which still makes it one of my favorite albums of all time mind you, but it is the least interesting despite being regarded the most well produced, although the production is absolutely insane for Mez/Hyp. My favorite system albums are as follows: Hypnotize Steal System Mezmerize Toxicity. I choose hypnotize as it was my entrance to the band. A friend of mine ripped a censored version for me, and I bumped it often, because it was excellent. The censorship really only affects She's Like Heroin, which is a different song entirely without the rhythmic chant of ASS. At the time hypnotized was merely just another rock album that I was listening to at the time. When I appreciated muchly but it didn't make System of a Down impressive to me yet. Next I heard toxicity, and realized I had knew this band for a decade. I always wondered who did the singles off that album I kept hearing on the radio. But the first thing I noticed about toxicity compared to hypnotizes that they didn't sound like the same band. Serj Tankian was doing most of the vocals, the rifts were punchier but infinitely less complex and while the experimentation existed, it wasn't nearly as dense as their latter 3 albums. The heavy synths on steal and mez/hyp were background flavor occasionally on toxicity, but they weren't in the foreground, like on tracks like old school Hollywood. The rhythm section of the band was consistent tho. But at the time I much preferred toxicity to hyp, and I listened to it every day until I heard music from their first album from live shows on TH-cam. Toxicity felt much more raw than hyp. Less poppy. More metal. But those live shows where they played their old stuff...These live shows taught me how to sing metal. I was a singer in a metal band shortly after listening to their self titled album. At the time I had listened to all five albums and concluded that my favorite was the self titled album. But as I got older, I found other vocal inspirations like Darroh Sudderth from Fair to Midland, Nina Simone, Bjork, Bizzy Bone, Frank Sinatra, and I got better at guitar and bass and started to notice the work.put into their last two albums. And while mez feels upbeat with it's complexities and harmonies, hypnotize feels like an iron weight. There is zero optimism in that album. Mezmerize has a song about Daron Malakian, the guitarist, going to a celebrity baseball match on psychedelics. Mesmerize hits heavy notes, both lyrically and sonically, but it doesn't have the sense of impending doom that hypnotize has throughout. The most optimistic song on hypnotize is about ejaculating on a sex workers feet. Which could be incredibly optimistic, depending on your priorities, but sonically that track still descends more than it ascends. Hypnotize feels like a bombastic descent into nothingness. Like Dante's inferno. A case for the self titled album: all that rawness I loved about toxicity is way more present on their first album, which was heavier vocally, much moshier, and less poppy than anything afterwards. It is also perhaps the most lyrically direct they've ever been with the topics they're known for. The poetic rhetoric is still there, but they let you know what it is
Idk if the Outkast Stankonia "ehhh if you're a mainstreamer" comment was a joke but he literally did a Worst to Best for Outkast and that album was number 1 lol
I think he ranks those more in terms of objective quality and impact than his personal taste. At least that’s how the Kanye vid was, he had mbdtf number 2 lmao
@@batflashzyzz I think it was a whole algorithm, mixed with daily streams, reviews, and who knows what else. Because they weren't random, and they weren't always predictable.

I like how Anthony doesn’t even twitch when the Teal Album is picked as the best of Weezer, but he gets all offended when Siri choses Dark Side Of The Moon, just because it’s slightly overrated.
Also, he’s wrong. It is objectively their best record. Not my favorite, animals and wish you were here are better, but in terms of impact and locking in the signature Pink Floyd sound, yes it is their best.
@@jakeadair1642 i think it's like first place second place between dsotm and the wall. wish you were here is a solid third and animals is a solid fourth though.
I love the new slowdive album but I feel like people who say it’s better than souvlaki or their other pre s/t albums haven’t actually listened to those albums
Definitely! it’s not a bad album but tbh i think it’s their worst, except maybe just for a day. i have a feeling a lot of the people who say s/t is their best are just getting into them, but that’s just a guess
I think it’s newer and more accessible that’s why. I struggle to get into pygmalion for the same reason. I would put it second behind souvlaki but that’s personal opinion and any slot between 2 and 4 is respectable
*Anthony Fantano:* “But it turns out Siriʼs got some musical opinions!” Melon, it doesnʼt surprise me because you are the Human Siri, the only difference between you & Siri is that Siri is Apple & you are the Melon.
Fantano single-handedly took Apple to a trillion dollar valuation because he kept destroying and buying new iPhones every time he asked Siri for her opinion on the best albums.
priest really is one of those bands that are so unbelievely diverse, so many albums can be their best album. If you're a huge prog fan, Sad Wings of Destiny - Stained Class can be your favorite (SWOD is easily mine). If you love metal with amazing production, Killing Machine - Screaming for Vengeance (excluding Point of Entry) can be your favorite. If you love pure speed metal, Defenders of the Faith or Painkiller is your favorite. Not to mention their one of the few bands from the 70s/80s that is still putting out freaking bangers!! Firepower was amazing and based off the two singles from Invincible Shield, looks like priest are still killing it, unlike their contemporaries (*cough cough Iron Maiden)
i want to hear more about why SOAD is the true best SOAD album. im sure i disagree but im interested in the reasoning! i think its the easy number 2 but I can't see how anything but toxicity is the right answer - please do a video ranking SOAD albums!
I feel like Melon didn't realize partway through that Siri is only recognizing the band name and coming up with Self-Titled albums (if the artist has one). If they don't have a S/T, they pick the one with the earliest hit result. Just a theory though.
Dummy is iconic and both dummy and self titled fall in my top 10 favorite albums of all time but for me personally self titled is my favorite portishead album too. Nice job siri! A true fan, not just on the “dummy is influential” movement
