funny how of all the songs to forget you forget the one that says "PULL THE TAPEWORM OUT OF YOUR ASS!"

Arto is an interesting track because the melody you are hearing is centuries old. It's a well known Armenian prayer. It really expresses their armenian heritage.

one of the best metal albums of all time

I agree with a lot here, I would just switch Needles and X on the list.

4:06 really interesting analysis of prison song. Honestly the brick thing would never cross my mind until you mentioned it

Psycho is one of my top fav songs on the album solely for that guitar solo at the end. Like I ascend to a higher plane of being.

idk i thot u might find it interesting but ATWA was about Charles Manson being in prison. He's admitted he doesn't care if hes alive or not; he feels nothing.

What, Needles is my fav song from the album

Hey brad, I really like this format! While it isnt /quite/ as entertaining as your first reactions, its definitely more concise and informative, and allows you to review albums you've already heard. which is great for me because I'd love to hear you talk about some more of your favorite albums and thereby leach new music recs off you haha (& i love all the music I've discovered through you so far so thanks for that! :))

I love that Brad became much more vocal during the last 2 years, the fact that he has got much better not only phisicaly but also mentaly just show how much this channel has evolved

My top 5: 1: Prison song 2: Forest 3: Needles 4: Science 5: Bounce Making a top 5 for this album for me is basically impossible cause theres like no skips besides Arto and i actually like arto

What I love about your videos, is that you make me feel everything you experienced while hearing the music, and it makes me wanna chek it out for myself. Great new series, I really think it's super interesting.

I didn't start listening to SOAD until 2016. The song Toxicity got my attention when I heard it on the radio. Then I started listening to the album every now and then. Forest, Aerials, and Chop Suey. Got my attention.

Really liked this video and definitely wouldn’t mind more videos of this format in the future. I’m a big SOAD fan, so it was nice to see that you really enjoyed this album.

Bounce is pretty low and psycho is also said to be “forgettable” but they are probably some of my more listened to songs on the album. Your top 7 is pretty valid tho.

Good shit man ! Loving how diverse your content is , great editing too!

I find your reviews so interesting. Love SOAD, love the video!

I’d love to see a video like this for their Self Titled album or Mezmerize!

I loved this video because it reminded me of so many songs that I forgot to add to my spotify list again. Keep up the good work dude!

ayy finally ya did a video on soad! you mentioned them in your three cheers review so i was hoping for a discussion or something. personal favs are either aerials or needles. aerials has such a wonderful sound and message, and the final 30 seconds where serj and daron harmonize send me out of this goddamn plane of existence. i also love needles because it has the energy from their self titled album, but with the same level of refinement found on the rest of the albums tracks. even though toxicty is a wonderful album, imo self titled beats it. while self titled is definitely more grungy and not as refined as their other works, there's such a raw energy and aggression on that album that none of their other efforts really match. the pure blood-pumping aggression and power from songs like know, sugar, soil, war?, and P.L.U.C.K hit me in ways that the rest of their discography just doesn't.

Shimmy is a comment on the mundane nature of common core and how it invokes atypical, forwarding behavior on the kids on how life will be like later on, in a "better time", rather than what's happening right now. Or at least, that's how I look at it.

My top 5 5: shimmy 4: toxicity 3: ATWA 2: science 1: X (fav soad song)

ok so I think forest is about religion. The fist line, "walk with me me little child "could represent how when we're all born, we're pretty much forced into religion and don't have a say in it until we're older." through the forest of denial " shows how religion is huge, hence the word forest and when people question its flaws, people will go in denial even if it means to defend something that's morally wrong. And the chorus "why can't you see That you are my child, why don't you know that you are my mind" this can refer to God and how he created humans, him being the father and the child being Adam and even, and acting against God would result in major punishment, thus this line is a message from God to the humans that reminding them who's really in power. Idk maybe I'm overthinking but that's what I believe what this song entails

Loved this video, Toxicity is one of my favorites albums of all time.

this video was genuinely well done! would love to see other system albums!

Id love if you ranked the rest of their albums - love watching your stuff

I’m liking this format! Can’t wait for more! Also it’s pretty incredible to see how much better your lighting is compared to past videos

I really like this format ! You should do more videos like this :D

You really did Needles dirty

I like your analyses! (yes, I googled the plural for analysis) Please do some more SOAD videos!

Loved the video dude (also loved the Goonies shirt). I enjoyed this format honestly and if you enjoy making them I really think you should keep making them! Also interesting to hear you talk about your opinions in a more in depth and concise way since you've had time to formulate your opinions. Btw I have a suggestion, I think you should react to one of Jeremy Zucker's EPs, either Idle or Glimmer since I think you'd have some interesting thoughts on it. Personally i think Idle is more interesting and since Idle is only about 13 minutes and Glimmer is only about 10 you could do a quick review and it wouldn't take much time to make (comparatively).

Love your channel, Brad! Just keep doing what you enjoy, don't feel pressured to listen to whatever everyone else wants you to. Some of your fans might seem a little *coughcoughcancerous*, but most of us are going to stick with you no matter what content you choose to make in the future. Keep it up!

Thanks for making it :D. Could you also make one for Mezmerize ?

Ah yay!! I didn't think I'd see your review for SOAD so soon. Sweet 😁

OMG that Drake and Josh part KILLED me. Gotta share this with my bff!!!

Great stuff! I'd like to see you do the same sort of vid for Mezmerize!

Great video! Can you do System’s self titled too? Damn I love that record.

Nice honest review mate,im glad SOAD got you into heavier music too. Ever consider doing a review of a TOOL album? I only ask because your reviews are quite entertaining & TOOL is my favorite band,lol.

And I recently just bought all their albums (again) during my vacay.

1. Prison Song 2. Deer Dance 3. Forest 4. Toxicity 5. Needles 6. Atwa 7. Aerials 8. Chop Suey 9. X 10. Jet Pilot 11. Shimmy 12. Pyscho 13. Science 14. Bounce Didn't count arto since its technically a hidden track put right after aerials. But if I did it would be put at the bottom.

you should do this with every album!!

Toxicity is one of my favorite albums :) So glad you reviewed it

YES thank you for doing my favorite metal album

YAAAAAS, I WANTED THIS SO MUCH

I think Toxicity’s lyrics refer to how the world is a shithole and society is a mess yet we continue on our merry way distracting our minds with simple pleasures and acting as if nothing is really wrong, which is exactly what the powers that be want us to do.

Think this is a good format and really let's me understand what you like as a reviewer a bit more. Although it isn't as EXPLOSIVE as other reviews, it's still entertaining

Let's not forget how Brad was Rodrick back in the day

SOAD basically shaped my music taste, i think it was the 1st band I got really really into and listened to the whole discography :D they are amazing.

I just love to hear u talk...its so wierd. Ive never even heard of this album or band. This isnt even my type of music BUT i love the way u talk 😌

i didnt even know brad ever did this video til it showed u in my recomended

As much I enjoy that new panic single, I'd really love to see some kind of something on Chris Cornell/Soundgarden/Audioslave. A year after his death, I just really don't want him forgotten. It feels like he is and it's heartbreaking lmao

My ranking: 15. Arto 14. Shimmy 13. Prison Song 12. Bounce 11. Science 10. Deer Dance 9. Jet Pilot 8. Psycho 7. Needles 6. ATWA 5. Forest 4. X 3. Toxicity 2. Aerials 1. Chop Suey!

Also, your hair is a mess, it looks cute

you should so do more system albums, my personal favourite soad album is hypnotize but any of the other albums would be awesome to see too :)

You put Toxicity in first place. Good boy.

Thank you for putting “X” in the upper half. I feel that song does so much in its short timespan. Other than that I think your rankings are pretty aligned with mine as far as the bottom half is concerned. I’d have in my top 5: 1: Forest 2: X 3: Psycho 4: ATWA 5: Aerials

the whole idea of forest i think is that it's from the perspective of mother earth and she's begging you to stop harming her or something like that also i heard something about toxicity being about ADD or something like that

I really liked this rating system, especially because, like you said, the songs greatly differ in quality.

your hair is getting bigger

You have to do a haul of your favorite albums!

Love soad and loved the video. Would switch a few around though

Arto isn’t really an official track on the CD, but more of a bonus (a lot of older albums used to do that)

Hey nice video! Love your editing! Could you react to White Pepper by Ween?

You should do all SOAD's albums

I know you said you didn't like Blue Album by Weezer, but DAMN, you gotta listen to their most controvertial album: P I N K E R T O N If you like punchy, you'll get puchy ;)

i loved this format and ah this vid at all yeey say hello to brazil bye

I'd like to know your opinion on Shinedown, and maybe their new album if you've heard it... also Hoobastank has a pop rock album coming out on Friday... so there's that.

Oh man, SOAD was one of the bands that I grew up with, so it's always cool to see someone's take on them! There aren't a lot of bands who can mix politics and poetry the way they do, and they're one of the bands I find myself going back to for inspiration in wordplay. Personally I don't think Bounce is so bad, but it suffers from being in the wrong place on the album, because it breaks up this tone that should have flowed from Chop Suey into Forest instead of possibly being used to break up the similarities between Deer Dance and Jet Pilot. Also Aerials is definitely my top track from Toxicity. Would love to hear your thoughts abut Hypnotize and Mezmerize!

A bit of SOAD is always good!

Idk why, but I could never get into X. It just seems different

You forgot to mention that bounce is a song about an orgy and was used in a kids movie

Hey brad. I was wondering if you could react to the album Still searching by Senses fail. I feel like it would make for a great video. Anyways hope you have a great day.

Brad should make a full acapella cover of Forest just because of the tidbit at 13:40

Oh no. A video that rates SOAD songs. Someone please hold me in place.

Toxicity might be the only 10/10 album I’ve ever heard. Maybe also Wish You Were Here.

Science is my favorite. The music video to it with clips from Equilibrium is great. That movie is actually what I think of when I hear the song.

Haven’t seen this yet but I believe is all just amazing

When it says "self righteous suicide" I think it's talking about Jesus? Or anyone else who justified suicide? Idk, I'm not a Christian, don't @ me.

THANK YOU SO MUCH I LOVE SYSTEM OF A DOWN

I don't think prison song is metaphorical he literally cited prison statistics in the song

YASSSSS IT'S HERE!! ❣️

15. Arto 14 X 13 science 12 bounce 11 jet pilot 10 needles 9 shimmy 8 psycho 7 prison song 6 chop suey 5 forest 4 ATWA 3 deer dance 2 toxicity 1 airels

do whatever the fuck you want man, real niggas will watch your content bro, keep it up!

I love how brad is wearing a Goonies shirt

... m'kay i'm just dropping by to say i like your shirt

What my rankings are 1. X (my favorite song ever written) 2. Science 3. Aerials 4. Needles 5. Forest 6. Toxicity 7. Jet Pilot 8. Prison Song 9. Chop Suey! 10. Bounce 11. Deer Dance 12. Psycho 13. ATWA 14. Shimmy 15 Arto

You should do a music review on The Wrecks. They got some good stuff

You should listen to the album Mister Asylum by Highly Suspect!

Glad you got sober, dude!

X, chop suey, Shimmy, and Jet pilot are my all time favorites off this. Most of the songs got old after a while leaving me to liking the random lesser played ones but chop suey tho.. chop suey is somehow so good it never gets old.

the background records have returned!

Do you listen to any classic 80s rock?

it would help if you had the title of the song you're talking about in the corner so I can skip around the video

Aerials and the title track of this album are my favorite SOAD songs

I love the descent into madness 15:07

Wtf Bounce and Jet Pilot at the end??!!?! No seriously for me they're all very good and I can't just classify them

Massive fan of this!

Yo. Can you review Muse Second Law? It's my favorite album...

Prison Song is the best song on the album don't fucking @ me
