i'm not writing this to review the cd, as much as review the reviews. i'm not entirely sure that these people understand what a 'tribute album' is. By definition, it's an album that's a tribute to another band. This means that it is *not* going to be a remix cd, since it's very difficult to do a tribute to your own band. It is *also* not "a couple of their songs and your own songs that were SOAD styled," this would be a CD with some cover songs on it, which is also not a tribute cd. So, in my opinion, if you are ignorant enough to buy a CD without even undertanding what it is, you deserve a CD one hundred times worse than whatever it is you get.

What were they thinking? Don't be fooled by everything that says System of a down. The loosers that made this must really hate system or something. People like this should keep tributes like these to themselves. System deserves better than that.

Seriously though, usually when people do Tribute albums, it's either a different style than the original band, or it's a bunch of popular bands doing covers. This isn't either of those. Musically, this CD sounds exactly the same as the original songs. This band just did a bunch of SOAD covers and threw them on a CD. But this band [stinks], yeah sure they play the songs pretty well, anyone can do that, they dont change anything at all. So basically what you got is a CD where the only thing that really sounds different is the vocalist, and not a good one at that. This CD could've been made exactly the same by taking actual SOAD songs, removing the vocals, and having your friend sing karoke. Don't waste your money.

Well, it looks (and sounds) as if some musicians who love System just as much as I do got together and decided to create a tribute to them. System Of A Down definitely deserves a tribute album; hell, ... has a tribute album, and they pretty much suck. Anyway, this CD is alright, the vocals could be better though, I guess no one can match Serj's trademarked screams and roars, but musically the songs are pretty true to the originals. It would have been neat to see some well-known groups make a tribute album to SOAD, but for now, we'll have to settle for this. In closing, I'd reccommend this album to hardcore fans who are interested in hearing the album, but otherwise, don't waste your time.

These guys tried to make a tribute to the most awesomest,best band but it sounds like .... I don't see how anyone could like this cd. The vocals are simply ..., it hurt my ears listening to it, all i can say is if you like ... then this is for you. After i'm done writting this i'm going to burn this cd.

... The weak mothers who made it didn't even have the guts to put their names on the CD but attribute it to various artists when it's not. The singer does a [bad] Serj imitation throughout. The guitar playing is not a new interpretation. It's just wrong. The only way that this album succeeded for me is in making me realize the unique brilliance of the original

Systyem of a Down is the best band in the world. Theyre originality and talent are what make the band so great. serj's unique voice and the talent of all the other members are taken away, leaving only the amazing lyrics, which are in turn spoiled by the lack of talent by the artists on this cd. System is the best band and are not to be messed with!!!! Any other wannabes should stay away from them, nobody can be better or equal to system, so stop trying. this cd is horrible if you are a true fan of SOAD.

As response to the other reviews. . . It's all true. This is HORRIBLE. I wouldn't even recommend purchasing it if you were curious. If you are curious listen to the samples, that's all you need to hear how horrible this is...

I don't really like it. I think they would be better just singing their own songs, cuz they're not THAT bad. Just bad in comparison to system of a down. That's kinda confusing, but if you get it, yeah, its true. So, i dunno. My advice to them is write your own songs, and see how it goes. My advice to you is skip this, and buy an actual system of a down cd

If u open your ears and listen the listen isn't bad. He is alittle off but don't sound like a retard. So if u like SOAD and actually like them and not just into them because it makes u cool or what not why not give this a listen.
