System of a Down, however, developed a loyal fanbase with the opposite approach--the group mixes genres so freely that describing what their music sounds like is nearly impossible. Sure, SOAD is, at its core, a metal band, but on MEZMERIZE's first two songs alone, vocalist\/guitarist\/mastermind Daron Malakian and crew zigzag their way though Beach Boys-like stacked vocal harmonies, Anthrax-esque hardcore thrash, Cameo-style funk, and prog rock of a CARESS OF STEEL-era Rush variety. \"Revenga\" adds a touch of swooping Freddie Mercury vocal drama to the mix, while \"Sad Statue\" sports a guitar riff that sounds like a Greek bouzouki. Even sharper, tighter, and more ambitious than System of a Down's previous albums, MEZMERIZE makes for a consistently surprising listen.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 5\/17\/2005\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"System Of A Down","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46186892361969,"sku":"QVR7ZN-HQH9-BH","price":15.37,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4401\/5345\/files\/system-of-a-down-mezmerize-explicit-content_N2My2.jpg?v=1748728106","url":"https:\/\/outofthepastrecords.com\/products\/system-of-a-down-mezmerize-explicit-content","provider":"Out of the Past Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
