DESCRIPTION:
2x12" LP - 2002- Rock / Heavy Metal LP Pressed For The First Time On Black Vinyl -In most cases, bands put out these odds and sods collections for die-hard fans, to fulfill a record deal, or to stall while they're taking seven years to record a follow-up. Steal This Album!, on the other hand, definitely doesnot fit any of those ideals. First, it's almost impossible to think of this as an "outtakes" record. System of a Down has managed to make tracks from a seven-year period sound cohesive without having to embellish or sacrifice. Some might argue that maybe they're just treading water. Not true. If System proved anything with 2001's Toxicity, it's that they're one of the few breaths of fresh air out there in mainstream metal land. This collection is no different, and with its amazing pacing, it's hard to not be moved by what this band can do. Secondly, Steal This Album! has everything that a "normal" album release would have; it's heavy without being a burden, political without being condescending, and in some cases, downright beautiful. It's been mentioned that this is the link to what they've done and what they're moving towards. If that turns out to be true, the next one should be a monster.

System of a Down is an Armenian-American heavy metal band formed in Glendale, California, in 1994. Since 1997, the lineup has consisted of Serj Tankian (lead vocals, keyboards), Daron Malakian (guitar, vocals), and Shavo Odadjian (bass, backing vocals), along with drummer John Dolmayan, who replaced original drummer Andy Khachaturian.
The band achieved commercial success with five studio albums, three of which debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200. System of a Down has been nominated for four Grammy Awards, winning Best Hard Rock Performance in 2006 for the song "B.Y.O.B." Their music is noted for politically focused lyrics, with songs addressing social and political themes, including anti-war commentary in "B.Y.O.B." and critiques of the prison industrial complex and the war on drugs in "Prison Song."
The band went on hiatus in 2006 and reunited in 2010. Aside from the 2020 releases "Protect the Land" and "Genocidal Humanoidz," they have not released new material since the albums "Mezmerize" and "Hypnotize" in 2005. System of a Down has sold over 12 million records worldwide, and the singles "Aerials" and "Hypnotize" both reached number one on Billboard's Alternative Songs chart. All members of the band are of Armenian descent, either born to Armenian immigrants or immigrants themselves.
