Hypnotize

This record is a masterpiece that I hold very dear to me as a reminder of family and as my introduction to the world of music, as I also do with System Of A Down's other 4 projects. I recently found out that this album turned 20 today, which is crazy to me. As for the greatness of the album itself, the sheer creativity Serj and Daron show in the writing for this album is phenomenal, and it along with their other projects have reshaped rock as a whole. The protesting nature of the whole thing, speaking against war and political threats shows the stand the band has on society. The vocals from Serj and Daron bring the album to life in a way that is uncaptured by anyone other than them. Overall, this record is an incredible piece of artistry, a final battle cry from System Of A Down, and a piece of my life that I hold very dear.
