8/31/2023 0 Comments Hypnotize system of a down meaning![]() It doesn’t help that the songs directly after are truly bad songs She’s Like Heroin may very well be the worst songs from the double album, with the excellent guitar work ruined by a generic chorus and insipid lyrics such as “I need someone to make some cash selling, ASS!”. ![]() However, it’s placed directly after Holy Mountains, quite possibly the most emotional and epic song in System’s discography, and thus it’s generally overlooked as a crock. Vicinity of Obscenity is a great track in and of itself, being a strange and fun little romp through Serj’s much, much more straight-up and well…obscene writing style (Daron wrote nearly all of the songs on the album). After Holy Mountains, the tracklisting was sordidly more…shall we say, awkward. Much of the criticism stemmed from a trio of extremely misplaced songs on the album. It’s surprising, because it’s probably the one that showcases their two strongest points in highest fashion Daron seemingly decided to include his best guitar moments from the recording on this disc, while Serj is at his best singing here, even if he may have lost a bit of the conviction that had previously made him. This is why I have to regard Hypnotize as being the most underrated of all the System records. In particular, Hypnotize sufferred much backlash, and much of it was the fact many regarded it as a b-sides to Mesmerize, and generally disregarding the album in it’s entirety. It received extremely mixed sentiments some felt that this was exactly what System should have come out with, while others felt System had “sold out” or, at the very least, become a mediocre band. The end result of that five years was the double album (released seperately), Mesmerize/Hypnotize. However, instead of capitalizing on that success, they released a “b-sides” and waited around 5 years to release anything new. ![]() There’s no denying that it pole-vaulted them to the upper echelon of metal superstars, and possibly made the biggest metal act in the world.
