The reason the lyrics sound so different is because there’s Serj the lead vocalist but there’s Daron the guitar player and he does backing vocals. If you listen real close in some songs you can really hear it.
For the longest I thought Arto was a troll song. But just searched it up it translates to “lord have mercy” and is played at funerals the instruments are Armenian and is meant as a dedication to the Armenian genocide that is a central core to their band. Never knew that and I’ve been listening to them for about over a decade now
@@ArkaeaFCL3 Yeah, I thought they were just trolling but it honestly has a lot of meaning to close off the album. Makes me appreciate the overall narrative of the album
What do you guys mean by a "troll" song? Like, I know trolling means to mess with people to get a rise out of them, but how does this translate to music. Could I get some examples of some other "trolling" songs? This might help explain it.
Fun fact, that song almost made the band to breakup because serj initially wanted to use the word "my" (pull the tapeworm outta MY ass) but shavo and daron didn't like that and it was a whole drama until they reached the version with "outta your ass" haha
To be fair, every one of their songs is underrated lol. But really, so many hang up on chop suey it's become so overrated (good but not close to their best song) and the rest of the library gets overlooked
@@Dr.Spatula Hey let's not sell Chop Suey short, it's a masterwork of a metal song. It's the one song that got dragged to mainstream popularity, but it's a quality SOAD track, and dare I say one of their best.
ATWA n deer dance are some faves off the album. While forest and Science are 2 of my all time second favorite System jams PERIOD. But Second to none other than Sad Statue. Ljbh play it at my funeral Nothing is ever touching that masterpiece.🤌🏼
1:22:00 Someone probably mentioned it, but SOAD guys are from Armenian families, as said in Songfacts: "Arto" is System Of A Down's version of the Armenian hymn "Der Voghormia," which translates to "Lord Have Mercy" and is traditionally played at funerals as a prayer for the dead. It's titled "Arto" because their friend Arto Tuncboyaciyan played on it.
The fact that a song about a horse is so deep in meaning it makes it such an interesting listen, it makes everyline standout on their own even out of context
I always love the meaning in their songs. Used to creep kids in my school when I used to recite “pushing little children with their fully automatics” 😅
This band/album transcended boundaries/genres/scenes in a way I've never known before and brought everyone together. Young, old, rap fans, pop fans, metal heads, punks, even non-music fans. Such an out there and unique album that shouldn't have become as mainstream as it did but it's just that good and so much fun!
I remember one of my punk rock friends played the tape of their first album in the car on a drive, and I'd heard different stuff that sounded like different parts of it but never anything that sounded like all of it together. Toxicity became one of my favorite albums when it came out.
Serj Tankian is the main vocalist. Daron Malakian is the second vocalist and the guitarist. Arto Tunçboyacıyan, a Turkish-Armenian folk artist, wrote Arto with Serj as a guest on the album and I believe he also does the chants in that song. All of the members of SOAD are Armenian and Armenian folk plays a big part in their unique sound
Important to notice that Arto just was born in Turkey. I remember the documentary when he was in Yerevan taking sometimes in Armenian and in English. He was talking how it was prohibited to creat songs on Armenian, or just taking in Turkey. And that everything after a genocide when people was killed just because of being Armenian, Greek, Assyrians, Bulgarians and Jews, being non-muslim
YESS!! An unironic 10/10 Album for many, the pure raw production and vocals, it kicks so much ass and it rules, so glad you finally got to listen to it
The last song called Arto (hidden in Aerials commonly) is traditional Armenian song Der Voghormia (Տէր Ողորմյա) played on funerals. And here are some African motives i think, and Armenian duduk ofc
To me, the best is their last album Mesmerize/Hypnotize which was split into two, there is no song in there that I don't adore, hope you can react to the rest of the albums bc I really enjoyed your reactions!
You are quickly becoming my favorite person to watch album reactions! It seems like you had a blast listening to this album and I had a blast listening with you! You kept saying “this shit is just fun to listen to” and I couldn’t agree more. It’s a perfect way to describe this album
People talk about the switch ups in every song, and I'm obsessed over that too. But the harmony between both vocals in every song is what I'm here for.
It's sad that 23 years later, this is still relevant. An album that looks at the problem of humanity, and emotionally screams about it, trying to convey the essence to people.
@@PrimalExerciseMaybe you're right. I once heard a version that this song is about pedophilia, and perceived it as a satire of the connection between religion and pedophilia. It seemed like Daron was talking about this version, but it was more likely either a joke or just my false memories.
This is top 5 album all time any genre, decade or whatever. Every song is good and I have listened to it since it came out hundreds of times and still love it.
So wholesome u a goat bro... you listened to the whole album... respect... when you're 15 in 1998 that shit is dope... better than being 41 in 2024 i tell ya... broke my back just movin at it 10:59: with the voice of Roger Smith: " Daron Malakian....

Everyone thinks their era was the golden age of music, but there was truly something special about the late 90s early 2000s nu medals genre! For me, it’s a time when the shackles were released and people were truly able to say think and feel how they truly felt and before a time where everything was just about making money and severely overproduced, it’s a medium and culture shift that I fear we will never see again! Keep these album reactions coming men absolutely loving them!!!
@@ppaulisdeadd5879 I agree with that statement I only say it because he has been reacting to a lot of new metal recently and I don’t want to confuse anyone with music labeled politics! PS I agree with, and respect your opinion thank you for the reply.
SOAD, Incubus and Deftones get lumped in with the shittier Nu-Metal but they were just in the same scene. They all had a lot more to offer than Limp Bizkit, Staind, Godsmack, Powerman 5000, Drowning Pool etc.
I didn't hear about that cover till after this video, I had to go watch it. It's surprisingly bad lmao. It might be the worst cover I've heard. And it's not even cause it's rap. I've heard some pretty banger rap covers.
@@cartercolson7975 brother, do you not have ears? List to me everything you liked about the song and I will tell you that that's everything wrong with this song. There are no redeemable qualities to be found and don't you pretend that there are. He's trying to recreate the Mona Lisa with off-brand crayons from a diner.
@@losxdescabezados I literally found nothing wrong about the song so in confused why it's being hated on is it the instruments the voice the produc tion like what?
If you haven’t already you should check out Rage Against The Machine’s self titled album, I feel like you’d love it! Loving these reactions man, keep it up!
on god 2023 was my first time ever getting into SOAD and this was my first album too... forest was my top played song of the year, along w 3 other songs from this album too lmfao
I mentioned a few minutes ago My December on your Linkin Park reaction was great because you appreciated it as much as I did. Now - you vibed with my favorite track on this album - Atwa. Keep it up amigo!
❤ this react vid! Most people just do one or two but this whole album is worth a listen. If you liked this, try listening to some "rage against the machine" 😊 happy listening!
You should listen to the songs johnny, its a b-side track from the Japanese release of this album. Definitely in my top favourites by system. Its not on spotify, but there are plenty of videos on TH-cam.
Dude, you make me relive my teenager years. I had the same thoughts back in 2004 when I was 14. Dude, thank you so much, really! Can't wait to watch you listen to the other albums.
The intitial reaction to soad being what the fuck is so relatable cant wait to watch all of your vids i put in my playlist to watch later i hope you enjoy soad!!
That 1:1:3 ratio of "this is tough", "this sounds awesome", and "what????" Lmfao. I really think youve captured what it feels like to discover SOAD. Just that initial hilarious bafflement, slowly morphing into genuine interest.
I agree to pick a top 3 on this album is impossible. My personal favorites are atwa or forrest which is crazy cause chop suey is there biggest hit. I got to see them last week live for the 3 time i got to seem them as a child and didn’t appreciate the greatness. SOAD and Deftones were killing it. John Dolmayan the drummer put it perfectly individually no one in tve band is the best at there craft but together they are the best band of all time. The beautiful part of this album is every song is repeat worthy timeless and can never be outplayed.
you won't hear many ppl recommend (hed) p.e. bc they're underrated but you'll LOVE them. especially albums 1 and 2 and the newest one. show em some love on the channel!
you GOTTA listen to the memorize album next with is a split of their other album hypnotize. if you like this album then you would absolutely LOVE that one and i think you would enjoy it a lot
Arto features Arto Tunçboyacıyan. If you dug it he did an entire album with the lead singer Serj called "Serart". It's quite experimental and pretty awesome.
Ohhhh great reaction! This album doesn't fuck around. You should try Tool. They're similar in the progressive aspects, while being heavy, intellectual real shit, and funky odd time signatures. A few of their introductory songs are: `The Pot`, `46 & 2`, and `Aenema`. (Audio only - music videos are distracting af). They're a great band to do full album reactions to also, but their songs are a bit long. Anyway, spiral out!
8:28 love what you doing dawg, but back when this was released on CD the songs meshed, so from the end of one song to the start of another, they played off each other, just a heads up, the production for like slipknot and black label society and these guys, they were meshed🎉
The very first album I bought with my own allowance money back in 8th grade. I can't count how many times I've listened to this album, just front to back greatness.
Great Reaction, I love this album so much, but I can't wait for you to hear the next one, Steal This Album! is my personal favorite album from them, extremely underrated in my opinion. Edit: also I hope you keep it up, I watch a LOT of reactions but sub to very few, I subbed to you a few reactions ago immediately because you are one of the exceptions and not the rule, in the way you actually make your reactions transformative and entertaining, and not just sitting there and listening while not doing/saying anything.
bro u gotta check out the downward spiral by nine inch nails. it is a wild adventure a huge part of rock and what it is today. it is hard af and i think u would love it a lot
Been watchin for not too long but I fw yo vibe. A lot of niggas don’t even give this type of music a chance. If u haven’t heard Bleach by Nirvana yet I think you’d like it a lot. It’s Dr. Dre’s favorite record of all time
I honestly feel their albums just get better and better, so I hope you listen to the rest of them in order. I will click those videos so damn hard. One of my favorite parts of their albums is also how well their songs blend together, but I understand why that might be difficult for you to do, due to TH-cam.
Hola. Ya que entraste en el Alt Metal, puedes ir con Tool, el Ænima y el Lateralus son sus obras maestras, también el 10,000 Days es excelente. Creo que Ænima es el mejor para empezar y a mi parecer tiene más “hits”.
The reason the lyrics sound so different is because there’s Serj the lead vocalist but there’s Daron the guitar player and he does backing vocals. If you listen real close in some songs you can really hear it.
Their two voices are like polar opposites yet they work incredibly well together.
For the longest I thought Arto was a troll song. But just searched it up it translates to “lord have mercy” and is played at funerals the instruments are Armenian and is meant as a dedication to the Armenian genocide that is a central core to their band. Never knew that and I’ve been listening to them for about over a decade now
That's interesting! I've been a huge fan for years and I never knew that. 🤔
@@ArkaeaFCL3 Yeah, I thought they were just trolling but it honestly has a lot of meaning to close off the album. Makes me appreciate the overall narrative of the album
Also, this may be wrong but it sounded Native American to me first time I heard it. Nice sendoff for the album regardless. Only System!!!!
They play this in Armenian church, like every week!
What do you guys mean by a "troll" song?
Like, I know trolling means to mess with people to get a rise out of them, but how does this translate to music.
Could I get some examples of some other "trolling" songs? This might help explain it.

They did a song with wu tang clan called “shame” it is a definitely an interesting listen because of the lyrics
Salut to you, bro! Was waiting ur reaction on Toxicity for weeks

Cant wait to see you check out their other albums
Atwa was probably My favorite non single on the album. There's no way it could've been a single with the Charles Manson references
always a good night when Reno uploads.
It is two different singers bro, they do harmonies ;) Serj is the lead, Darren does 'backing' vocals mostly.
Should listen to linkin parks Second album Meteora
definitely check out shame by system of a down one of my favorite songs by them top 5

Edit: also I hope you keep it up, I watch a LOT of reactions but sub to very few, I subbed to you a few reactions ago immediately because you are one of the exceptions and not the rule, in the way you actually make your reactions transformative and entertaining, and not just sitting there and listening while not doing/saying anything.
Serj is lead vocals and Darin is the lead guitarist and backup vocals.
System of a Down is one of the best bands history has known, period.
And this album is a beast.
Deer dance is my absolute favourite!
I love how much you love Forest lol, song deserves more love. My favorite next to Aerials
should do Steal This Album! next 😏
bro u gotta check out the downward spiral by nine inch nails. it is a wild adventure a huge part of rock and what it is today. it is hard af and i think u would love it a lot
ATWA is also my favorite song to playback, if im looking for the start of a playlist ill go to ATWA
ayyy ive been waiting for this
LINKIN PARK - Meteora next!!🔥🔥🔥
This shit doesn't only make you listen, you feel the frustration with the shit they're screaming about. You want to move and fight
Great video! Can you review Korns album Untouchables next? Banger after banger on that one!!!
This album is what's up, glad to see you get into it
All albums should end with some wild shit about genocide like Arto
i would love to see what you think of Avenged Sevenfold's album called Nightmare, it has some long songs but theres some real bangers in there
Been watchin for not too long but I fw yo vibe. A lot of niggas don’t even give this type of music a chance. If u haven’t heard Bleach by Nirvana yet I think you’d like it a lot. It’s Dr. Dre’s favorite record of all time
Linkin Park meteora album when?!?!
The pogo stick was his pebus
I honestly feel their albums just get better and better, so I hope you listen to the rest of them in order. I will click those videos so damn hard.
One of my favorite parts of their albums is also how well their songs blend together, but I understand why that might be difficult for you to do, due to TH-cam.
Hola.
Ya que entraste en el Alt Metal, puedes ir con Tool, el Ænima y el Lateralus son sus obras maestras, también el 10,000 Days es excelente.
Creo que Ænima es el mejor para empezar y a mi parecer tiene más “hits”.
