OK, on this review I'll talk about the mini-DVD. If you wanna review on the music read my review of the normal-version "Toxicity", not this or the red covered one.

The DVD includes 4 things:The music video for "Toxicity", which is really cool, but I'm sure you've seen it, and 3 live performances, which are for "Chop Suey!", "Bounce", and "Prison Song". I like the music video and the music, but what takes away from it is that each performance is in the same place, and nothing really special happens in them, so, if you wanna good System of a Down live DVD, get the one that's (I think) is coming out in mid-summer. OK, I'm done now.

System of a Down is an awesome band, for all you SOAD haters (as seen below) :) This album completely rocks, there isn't a bad song on it. SOAD is a little strange, yes, but so is Maynard from Tool/APC. System of a Down is a very talented group and I personally appreciate the way they express their beliefs through their music. This album, along with all the other SOAD albums, is definetely worth listening to and buying.

I know this cd is pretty old now, but I still crank this cd up. Every single cd is the best!!!! How do they do it? If you do not have this cd, BUY IT!!

There hasn't been a band that rocks this hard since old Metallica. I love their style. They have a unique sound which combines Armenian influences in their guitar riffs and great vocal variety. Their is also a humor to all of their songs which I find very refreshing. If you like metal and music that rocks give this a try. S.O.A.D. Rules!

To begin with, I LOVE this cd; however, when I purchased 'Toxicity' I was expecting all of the tunes to have the harmonies present in Chop Suey! and (the song) Toxicicity. That was not the case. Not all of these tracks are quite as catchy (at first) as the songs getting radio play.

With that said, this is an incredible cd! It'll definitely be on your list of cd's that make you drive about 80 miles/hour on the highway without even noticing. This cd has some heavy material on it, great for unwinding after a long day. There's some serious intensity on this disc that I can't describe in words. I picked up the disc after hearing Chop Suey! and Toxicicty and it's been in heavy rotation in the car ever since.

PLUS - You get the bonus DVD with the Toxicity Video and 3 live tracks (Prison, Chop Suey!, & Bounce).

If you're looking for somthing heavy, pick this up. But just know that it's not all "Chop Suey!" and "Aerials".

all the soad haters really should go get a life instead of attempting to review an album they probably listened with alot of prejudice no matter what anyone says this is a master piece enought people say so to make that a reality ok its not everones cup of tea but neither is any album by any artist right to the album the album is a phenominan and highly innovitive see my review of the album under all reviews

the bonus material is great and makes you yearn to see system of a down live truely wonderful

First time ever you look at this band?
This will not be your last.

This is not a korn copy.. This is a new and fresh SUPER BAND! Making revolution -like Metallica did in the 80's.

System of a down is if not thé most important music today! Being critics, making RAGING lyrics -some very beautiful others very angry ones! Breaking rules of music -defining new rules!
These 4 men will tell you a story through SYSTEMS own diversity.
This album TOXICITY with a limited DVD makes a 2 disc peace of heaven and hell!
ALL songs are of tremendous quality! SOAD made a total of 30+ songs and filtered the best stuff out -and even this is not true. Some of the other is available thorugh Steal This Album -AGAIN QUALITY! Ever heard Innervision or Mr. Jack? Roulette?

I'm telling you. Limp Bizkit or Linkin Park can't deliver the same way -these guys do it!
This is not one package! All songs bring different topics! All different moods. Chop Suey! makes you think -why MUST CHILDREN DIE! Why have god/allah/buddha forsaken them? Go cry -and then listen to Toxicity.. A hardcore packed song with absolutely fantastic drive to it. And Shimmy fx... ->don't be late for school again boy! As you see the music wants more than just tell you -let's party! They want YOU to think! And Prison Song. A political song -about the American prisons being filled with minor -mandatory minimum sentenced kids.. instead of helping them...
Serj Tankien -A man who thinks on his own -and questions stuff -and asks himself -look people our system is so rotten. So will you please wake up and look what goes on in the real world!

They don't love god, satan, allah, buddah or Garfield.. They are none religous. Maybe because of religions actually causing wars.

So System Of A Down is here to shake you up and tell you F*** the System -think different -don't watch MTV and listen to consumer radio..! BE DIFFERENT!

I would say -buy Toxicity first! The first album they made is also superb! -but the album is much much harder to listen too! I listen to it ?=know! :)
It's a bit more dark and more political -Toxicity is somewhat more an introduction to System (well so I think)! I first bought Toxicity... then all the albums:)

This album is 111% percent quality!

PEACE ON EARTH!

PEACE ON EARTH!

I had already bought the other special edition cd that came with the cd rom disc and i loved it. When i saw this i had to buy it just for the bonus dvd. It was very worth it. Toxicity is a good video and the three live performances of prison song, chop suey! and bounce are awesome. It is very worth the money to buy this cd. Even if you have the cd itself already, buy this version too.

I love this friggin CD. It has to be one of the best follow-ups I've heard for a while, right along the lines of Slipknot: Iowa and Disturbed: Believe (in case you're wondering, I just bought this the other day). Buy this one!...
