Mezmerize is the latest release from System Of A Down, and I can only think of one word to describe it… AWESOME!
It’s a rare day indeed that I get a CD from an artist that I can truthfully say does not have a bad track in the bunch. I’m more than happy to announce that’s exactly what I must say about this one. There simply isn’t a bad one in the bunch. No fillers here at all.
Mezmerize has a pleasantly varied, mix of 11 tracks that are very well written and brilliantly performed songs by these clearly outstanding musicians. Most of the songs display a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen. Seemingly drawing from what I can only imagine are their own real life experiences. At different points touching on the most real emotions of love, and the pain of failed relationships can certainly be heard.
Listen to this CD and I believe you’ll find there’s not much to dis-like about it. The songs are inspired, the production is simply outstanding, and this is clearly the work of a group of musicians in top form. So much so that if you’re even mildly into Rock music you’ll enjoy this CD.
While this entire CD is really very good the truly standout tunes are track 3 – Revenga, track 9 – Sad Statue, and track 10 – Old School Hollywood.
My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 11 – Lost In Hollywood. It’s a great track!
