System Of A Down's chaotic brilliance comes doubled in this 2CD edition, pairing the band's 1998 self-titled debut with 2002's Steal This Album! Two explosive albums, one compact package.
The Los Angeles quartet, all of Armenian descent, burst out of the late-nineties metal scene with a sound unlike anyone else. They fused thrash, punk and Middle Eastern melodies with absurdist humour and sharp political anger. Producer Rick Rubin helped capture that wild energy from the very first album.
The debut is a ferocious introduction. Sugar lurches between bouncy, off-kilter verses and pounding, unhinged choruses, while Spiders slows things down with an eerie, hypnotic atmosphere. Serj Tankian's elastic vocals leap from operatic wails to rapid-fire babble, and Daron Malakian's riffs hit with startling force.
Steal This Album! was assembled from material recorded around the Toxicity sessions, after early versions leaked online. Far from leftovers, it is packed with standouts. Innervision bursts with urgent riffing and melody, and Boom! takes direct aim at war with a pummelling, furious attack.
Together, these two albums capture a band at their most raw and inventive. For fans, it is an easy way to own both on CD. For newcomers, it is a thrilling place to start.
