This review is from: Maximum System of a Down: The Unauthorised Biography of System Of A Down (Audio CD)

I bought this CD with a gift certificate I had. If you have to purchase it with your own funds, I suggest you don't. This biography is unauthorized, so the band doesn't have anything to do with it. All it is, basically, is some British woman talking about the band for an hour. There are occasional sound bites of things that the actual band members said, but these don't last long. I've listened to this CD once. If you really want to know more about the band, go ahead and get it. But it is kind of boring if that's not what you're looking for. There is no music of there's on here or anything. If you want some good stuff, buy System's actual CDs, now those are great. But this is not a System of a Down CD, they had nothing to do with its production.

I suppose that if you just absolutely have to have EVERYTHING about System of a Down, then you should pick up this CD. BUT, I was quite disappointed when I took a listen to it. Especially after paying full price. It consists of a British woman simply reading a shoddy biography of the band. I was hoping to hear of individual biographies of each member. Or maybe to hear the band members themselves talk about their experiences - but instead we get 5 second snipets of the band talking over the phone to an interviewer. Not recommended at all.

Alright this audio biography cd is okay. The main speaker is a British woman who gives details and facts about the band but this cd wasn't made very good. When the lady talks about what SOAD's music sounds like you hear some kind of drum beat background that doesn't even sound like them and it totally throws you off. The background beat is boring and after 60 minutes you can take it anymore. Another thing that throws you off is that she says like 50 other band names from Limp Bizkit to Backstreet Boys to Fear Factory and it takes your mind off SOAD and makes you think about the band she mentioned. There are short interviews at the beginning of each chapter by someone in the band but you can't even understand them because theres people talking in the background and its all muffled. There were some cool facts about the band though. One I found interesting was that the guitarist Daron was in a side project with my favorite drummer Joey Jordinson of Slipknot and there band was called The Ambulance. There are plenty of facts for any SOAD fan to know but the audio features are bad. If your new to SOAD get the unauthorized DVD instead of this. At least you get video and pictures on the DVD. If your a SOAD fan already buy this for your collection.
