I have NO IDEA what the fuck is up with the audio 😂🤣 I noticed that during the edit but thought I was tripping. So weird! Sorry guys. Hope it’s not too distracting ❤️🤘🏼

My left ear enjoyed him talking a lot.

I thought my right earphone was broken for a second

“Ha it didn’t give me a heart attack for a change” *gets scared 5 seconds later* Always expect the unexpected from SOAD. Always. Lol

I’m cracking up for a solid minute “didn’t give me a heart attack” 20 seconds in *jumps*

In a weird way SOAD is like a metal version of Queen. With their unique sound and amazing vocals.

Famous last words. "Didnt scare me for once"

I love how you explain the "message" of the songs you react to, i m a german dude just listening to songs because they sound good, but you make me feel that stuff in a different way, keep on the good work alex

I probably would’ve called it “Revisited” rather than “Reaction”, but happy to hear a fresh take on it from you after being exposed to much more of their catalogue!

This album is legendary

Alex: it didn't give me a heart attack for a change 20 sec: 😂😂😂 that kings jersey is ultra fresh

Imagine reacting to "toxicity" twice and not even once at "Aerials" .....

When Serj sings it's like I'm listening to some Gods prophet.

ALEX HEFNER SHOULD REACT TO SYSTEM OF A DOWN SPIDERS

Moral of the story: This homie likes seeds.

I’m pretty sure the “seeds” he’s talking about are either a reference to “morning glory” seeds, which contain LSA, a compound very similar to LSD which was responsible (scholars believe) for the Salem Witch trials. This is backed up by the lines following these lyrics, “the toxicity of our city, of our city...” . There’s also psychedelic imagery used. Another possible interpretation is that the seeds are the ideas planted into the heads of our youth and the mass population to get them to be more submissive, which acts as a toxic substance that becomes a part of our daily diets-as our diet’s are not just what we eat, but what we hear, see, read, and think about. Very deep song, and deep band. That entire album is amazing.

why is the balance wayy off when he talks? All left side....

As I Lay Dying: Nothing Left. Then a follow up reaction of As I Lay Dying: The Sound of Truth. The videos go together and are amazing!

* Alex keeps pressing the volume up button* "why wont the volume get louder" lmfao 😂😂😂 I feel that pain all the time.

This and Hybrid Theory are both albums that I can listen to beginning to end without wanting to skip a single song.

System of a Down Cigaro and vicinity of obscenity

"He's doing it for the views and the money..." Well, duh... he's a KZfaqr that's what he does and that's a great reason to do it!

Hey man I just wanted to say that chilling with you has been my pleasure for the passed year! Have a slamming day and keep being you bro! Awesome!

I've been waiting for this video!

I love it at the heaviest part "why won't it go louder?" I feel the same way

It sounds like a tempo change, but it’s not. It’s the time signature. The eighth note is constant throughout most of the song. That’s why I like this song. I think it’s super well written, music wise.

Love all these SOAD reaction!!!!

Glad to see your hand is healing well. It's good to revisit songs again. No worries. I'm not sure if I watched the first reaction video or not. I've watched many of your videos but just randomly. Probably should have started in order. Going to watch the other reaction.

Surprised this wasn’t one of your first reaction videos too System Of A Down, maybe the most iconic song by them. Ride The Wings Of Pestilence by From First To Last is a song I think you’d like.

Man this song is a masterpiece. Perhaps the best song on the album.

Keep up the work always supporting you man.

I'm glad to see you're a step further in the healing process! I'm about to start my physiotherapy studies, don't forget them exercises at some point... This song, however, remains a ride, for sure!

Bring me the horizon - "Dont go" for extra goosebumbs

hey i actually caught one of these on time for once lmao wassup

Awesome reactions bro, been watching your vids for a couple of weeks already and just decided to subscribe, keep it up 🔥😎👍🏻🔥

Great video man 👍

Aw yeh it's finally here, Toxicity, can't wait to hear your reaction. Also +1 for the Mudvayne - World So Cold, also listen to Cradle by them please, you're missing out, man, we mean it. They're not always hardcore like they were recording Dig. Like genuinely good artists as are so many of the songs and bands you've had requested. :D

Alex: Didn't give me a heart attack right away Me: snickering as i know what's about to happen...

I appreciate seeing you doing a re-reaction now that you’re more accustomed to the culture. Growing up I already loved this song but now that I’m more music enriched I appreciate it all the more myself.

As soon as you said it... I knew you were gonna jump hahaha 😂. Love the channel. Big fan

“Eating seeds is a pastime activity” I think it’s referring to prescription opioids, which are made from poppy seeds.

Wow, I'm early af. Please check out L'enfant sauvage or the gift of guilt by gojira please!!

Love these videos. Good song.

FUCKEN YEAH, MATE...... Right after you said it didn't scare you 😂. Love your reviews, mate

React to System Of A Down's I-E-A-I-A-I-O next.

Mudvayne - World So Cold. Full version, not the video version.

Love your videos bro alex 🤘

I have a feeling that by the end of the year you will be at 1 million subs......I spoke it into existence ♥️♥️♥️ you deserve it buddy

I went nuts for a moment. I thought something terrible happened to my earbuds.

You should react to Tech N9ne - Straight out the gate ft. Serj Tankian

Kudos for you bro for listening to this joint cause you wanted and not just to please others.

Great song man...a classic..🤘🏻

Soad I-e-a-i-a-i-o

React to norma jean: sword in mouth fire eyes

huh? I was so sure that you've already reacted to this song... what a surprise ^^

Thanks for the react bro. Glad u enjoyed the album so much. Now maybe u understand why system fans are so dedicated. They put their stamp on the world. I’m back by the way! Good to be watching u again.

Love the Chili Peppers shirt….react to them at Slane Castle…”By The Way”, please.

React to: Chunk! No, Captain Chunk! - In Friends We Trust

I got the notification for this video and was honestly in disbelief that you haven't already reacted to it lol

Oh well? This is my 5,000th reaction to this song since it was my anthem song on my Myspace page, and still listen to it while eating my lunchable

DEVILDRIVER

Please react to more shinedown! Devil Enemies Cut the cord 45 State of my head Get up!

Good to see your hand is healing. 🙏😎

System of a down is amazing and rocking as hell all their songs are unique and awesome

Are you gonna re-do "Chop Suey" as well? Id love to see your reaction now that you're used to System of a down. When you first did Chop suey i think it was your first time hearing them so you were a little sketched out lol to say the least ha

He should react to Mesmerize after he’s done with Toxicity. That’s their best album, imo.

my left ear enjoyd that a lot and is proud of you.

I absolutely love this song so does my 8 year old daughter. Hope you are doing well Alex much love from Dalton GA

React to System of a Down question!

Hey Alex, I'm still waiting for the Break In reaction that you promised me. Maybe you might take ONE day off for something a little different? 0_0 👍

Serj's voice is soothing and unique, and meanwhile has an authority...well done, you described perfectly why I'm in love with his voice since I was 14.

That jump right there 😂😂😂🤣🤣

Check out SOAD: Aerials if you haven't already.

React system of a down-violent pornography

Yeah! Hold the fuck up indeed! One of their most popular songs! Also, tell me about it! For a change, this song didn’t start off by scaring me either and every time as the songs progress, they all start to progress like that! Keep it up with this album of the month journey during this ongoing month! Keep on rocking, bro!🎸🎸🎸

Hahaha the fucking jump scares man! Hilarious 😂

React to halestorm uncomfortable

Papa roach Last resort !!!

I’m gonna lose my hearing by 40 listening to metal full blast every day but there’s no other way to do it haha good reaction

Haha I love how bad boys is playing in the back on ur tv 😂😂

Hey Alex, can't hear you speak bro. I can hear everything else just fine. Just not you.

Goddamn goosebumps!

Mind - SOAD, that's a great song for refreshing your mind

That breakdown live in the pit is fuckin amazing!

Almost done. Cant wait for Aerials

One of my favorite songs EVER 🖤 🙌🏽

😂😂😂😂 the moment you got scared I was drinking some coffee.. i laughed my ass off and well.. hot coffee coming out of your nose sucks. So damn funny though lol

Alex please stay safe I hope you and your family are safe

It never fails with the scares😂😂

The Hef.. what uppp!

System Of A Down-Sugar! Came out when i was 16 and it changed the way i looked ar music

I hope you'll do chop suey and aerials too, I know you reacted to them in the past but those videos are blocked in my country. Much love, keep up the good work.

To head bang to SOAD you have to expect the unexpected, but knowing their songs is the best way.

Brazil love you Alex❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

The title is accurate 🤣 glad to see your hand is developing well (:

That look from Will Smith in the background @5:50 when you began trying to describe tempo. Legit. XD

my left ear's really enjoying the commentary

bahahahaha everytime....love it

Bruh its like i said before, its because the drummer is a percussionist. He's not just a drummer, like the weirdest fucking guitar riffs are most likely only found within that type of drum beat, and or vice versa, like they make some weird ass fucking guitar riff and the drummers like aiight i got this, but its so i wouldnt say inconsistent but its definitely strange. Once you hear SOAD enough you kind of understand their flow tho :P but none the less man so glad you're here now with this soad journey these reactions make me so happy. Especially because not many even know of this band anymore and its not just about the rebelling against society type thing they actually lay it all out on the table and you're left with looking at yourself in the mirror thinking like holy shit this is true and or the reality i see and experience . Yee aiight this comment is to long hope you read and yeah man thanks for the vids! Have a dope ass day

Glad your hand is recovering! I think you'd also enjoy The Veer Union - "Slaves to the System". It's their new song, but they've got plenty of great ones, including, but not limited to "Living Not Alive", "Bitter End", and "Defying Gravity".
