System of a Down - Hypnotize

NOTE: I'm viewing this as the second part of a double album with Mezmerize.

...but I think I prefer Hypnotize just a little more. I don't know, something about this album really speaks to me. It feels much more dramatic, as if it's the second act where everything goes down. It's filled with this sense of ironic grief, almost?? That makes it feel the most emotional of any Sysrem release ever, Songs like Dreaming and Soldier Side are genuinely so amazing, it's genuinely insane. This is one of those albums where part of you hopes it ends on this note, because if it does, damn, will it be a high one.
