Daron, singer Serj Tankian, bassist Shavo Odadjian and drummer John Dolmayan recorded some 30 tracks for Mezmerize/Hypnotize at Rubin's Laurel Canyon studio between May and December of 2004. The songs are more complex, more progressive, more unorthodox and more experimental than ever, while retaining the idiosyncratic, ironic and schizophrenic qualities that make System of a Down so distinctive. desertcart.co.uk The second in System Of A Down’s projected 2005 two-album set picks up where its predecessor Mezmerize left off, melding together bug-eyed political rage, complex prog-metal, and incomprehensible lyrical absurdities and packaging them all together in one of the ugliest sleeves ever seen in Christendom. Mind you, to be aesthetically pleasing is not System’s way: "She’s On Heroin" and "Stealing Society" are lurid snapshots of society at its most grotesque, schizophrenic canvases of thrash metal and dizzying Cossack rhythms as warped and twisted as the drug addicts and insane dictators they inevitably depict. A bizarre highlight comes in the shape of "Victim Of Obscenity", where frontman Serj Tankian chants "Banana banana banana terracotta/ Banana terracotta pie". As with Mezmerize, Hypnotize finds guitarist Daron Malakian handling many of the vocal duties: he takes the lead on "Kill Rock’n’Roll", declaring "I felt like the biggest asshole/When I killed your rock’n’roll", and again on the uncharacteristically slow, emotive "Lonely Day". If anything, though, this is a heavier, more bewildering work than its predecessor. An album to sort out the men from the boys – Louis Pattison Review: Underrated - Great album Review: Quite possibly my favourite SOAD album. - I love System. It's a real shame they can't put their creative differences aside and produce another album. The Armenia benefit songs are just a hint of what they could do if they just got on with it. In the meantime this last album serves as a reminder of what a truly exceptional band they are (or were). ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000BPCCZ0 | | Best Sellers Rank | 20,010 in CDs & Vinyl ( See Top 100 in CDs & Vinyl ) 198 in Alternative Metal 821 in Hard Rock 1,270 in Heavy Metal | | Country of origin | Italy | | Customer reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (1,418) | | Is discontinued by manufacturer | No | | Label | Epic | | Manufacturer | Epic | | Manufacturer reference | 82876726112 | | Number of discs | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 14 x 12.5 x 0.99 cm; 79.95 g | ## Images ![Hypnotize - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71qxFjlZmuL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Underrated *by J***E on 18 November 2024* Great album ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quite possibly my favourite SOAD album. *by P***M on 4 July 2021* I love System. It's a real shame they can't put their creative differences aside and produce another album. The Armenia benefit songs are just a hint of what they could do if they just got on with it. In the meantime this last album serves as a reminder of what a truly exceptional band they are (or were). ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is quite simply a brilliant, original and idiosyncratic album *by S***H on 28 February 2015* This is quite simply a brilliant, original and idiosyncratic album, quintessential SOAD. I'm a bit surprised at some of the less positive reviews on Amazon (2 and 3 stars). Yes there are some weaker tracks (She's like Heroin and Vicinity of Obscenity) but stand-outs like Attack, Tentative, U-Fig and Dreaming are as good as anything these boys have ever done. If you like SOAD this is an essential purchase. ## Frequently Bought Together - Hypnotize - Mezmerize - Toxicity --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/50191873-hypnotize](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/50191873-hypnotize) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
