| 367485 | 2005-06-28 02:55:00 | In which case "This is not for you" rings true, The band in no way promotes that sort of behaviour, they condemn it, They are a band who have a running commentry on society and what ails it. They take what is accepted as norm and spread via the media, paint in black and white then display it to the listener. But then, This band is not for you. Or me. |

| 367486 | 2005-06-28 02:58:00 | Never bothered to listen to them before now but have just endured an hour of ear-bashing to see what they were like. The noise is bad enough and not something I want to suffer too much of so didn't get as far as checking out the lyrics at all. Anyway, thanks Hamster, I have just regained 120MB+ on my hard drive after deleting everything I could find by System of a Down. Too bad if anyone else happens to miss them, they sound bloody awful to me. |

| 367489 | 2005-06-28 03:16:00 | To the untrained ear they may sound like out of control heavy metal maniacs, ripping the world apart with the heaviest of metal, twin shred attack, and beating Satan’s own drums of war . Lyrics also fester on the darker side, War, crime, murder, serial killers, a fair bit of Satan and other such nasties . Pretty much on par with a B-grade horror movie . But, To the trained ear . . . . . . . Well, as above . Muhahahaha . |

| 367491 | 2005-06-28 03:35:00 | Sound aside, the lyrics are crass. Anyone who supports a band that promotes 'choking chicks' is as sick as they are. BOTA-IDRGAF (acronym translation pending.....) Do you mean this line from Violent Pornography? Its a violent pornagraphy choking chicks and sodomy the kind of **** thats on your TV I think thats a commentry on TV content, not that i watch TV much, but i did endure TV exposure on Sunday evening where i saw a cop show where some hideously drunk fat chick passed out on a guy during sex thus causing his death and leading to an investigation as to what heavy object stopped his breathing, then another cop show where someone killed someone, and there was a big gun battle, another cop show where...(and so on) Then there was the news.. whoa, they feature some bad **** on that! It's fair to say that "its a violent pornagraphy, choking chicks and sodomy, the kind of **** thats on your TV" is an acurate observation of a typical nights TV viewing. Its on your tv Its on your tv turn off your tv can you say brainwashing brainwashing |

| 367493 | 2005-06-28 07:00:00 | Do you mean this line from Violent Pornography? It's not a "line", it's in the lyrics 5 times. It's fair to say that "its a violent pornagraphy, choking chicks and sodomy, the kind of **** thats on your TV" is an acurate observation of a typical nights TV viewing. No it's not. What channel are you watching? 'Choking chicks' in the context of violent pornography is not a typical nights TV viewing. I have to disagree with your comment Metla that "They take what is accepted as norm and spread via the media, paint in black and white then display it to the listener." I don't accept 'choking chicks' as the norm. It is not normal 'behaviour'. Does anyone disagree with that? The band have entertained the listener with the lines 'chocking chicks' 5 times and in the dying lyrics say 'turn off your TV' - this hardly promotes not to 'choke chicks'. It could be seen as a lame attempt to appease censors & lend some half-assed credence to their socially abnormal lyrics / warped sense of reality. In this context, who has been 'brainwashed'? Is that not a piss take? They wait until the end of the song to promote their message? The Tui slogan "Yeah Right!" comes to mind. |

| 367494 | 2005-06-28 07:33:00 | Like I said, its not for you, Its beyond you. And it is a commentry on what good honest folk sit down and watch on TV, Murder and sexual crimes, Its on everynight, Its a form of porngraphy in that its sleaze that draws the viewer in, its the darkest of human behaviour and yet we sit though it, go out of our way to particpate by viewing the shows. Get it? No? I knew you wouldn't, but never mind, You must be one of the brainwashed the song refers to. |
