It's been about 20 years since I've listened to this album and my god it has some great songs: I am Hated for Loving, Why Don't You Find out For Yourself, The Lazy Sunbathers, Used to be a Sweet Boy, The More You Ignore Me The Closer I Get (creepy lyrics).

Just had a weird visceral reaction to David Bowie's Heroes. Not sure I've ever really had one at all for it.

I've been listening to System of a Down today. I don't think I ever fully appreciated how interesting and inventive their music was while staying within a "commercial rock" framing, and also what a great singer Serj was

Better late than never. Now, for the most important System-related question: self-titled or Toxicity?

I mean I always felt positively about them but I never really dug in beyond the singles
It's Toxicity for me. I like the sound of it a lot better, especially the super dry drum sound

"Forest" and "ATWA" are probably my two favorite System tunes. Album is absolutely stacked.
