System Of A Down - Hypnotize

About Hypnotize by System Of A Down Album

Hypnotize is the fifth album by System of a Down and the second half of the Mezmerize/Hypnotize double album before their hiatus. It was released on November 22, 2005, six months after the release of companion album Mezmerize. The album was released on both CD and DualDisc; the latter contains behind-the-scenes footage showing the making of Mezmerize and Hypnotize, the music videos for the songs "B.Y.O.B." and "Question!", and the entire album in enhanced stereo (LPCM at 16-bit/48KHz versus the CD standard of 16-bit/44.1KHz). The album case was printed with soy inks on recycled paper. Inside the booklet the words, "We don't have to cut forests to make paper anymore." can be read. The artwork is by guitarist/singer Daron Malakian's father, Vartan Malakian. The packaging for Hypnotize is specially designed to physically join Mezmerize and Hypnotize together, forming one unified product with continuous artwork. The additional panel on the Hypnotize slots into the inside of the Mezmerize digipak case, which opens on the left side instead of the right. According to bassist Shavo Odadjian, the album was originally set to open with an instrumental track called "Hezze," but was instead dropped entirely in favor of beginning with "Attack." "We wanted to start out the album really heavy," Odadjian explained. It is expected that "Hezze" will be released sometime in the future on an EP. The last track on Hypnotize, "Soldier Side" completes "Soldier Side - Intro", which appears as the opening track on Mezmerize. In addition to this, the song "Lonely Day" (which plays right before Soldier Side) has the same ending as "Soldier Side - Intro". Personnel * Daron Malakian – vocals, guitar * Serj Tankian – vocals, keyboard * Shavo Odadjian – bass * John Dolmayan – drums

- SOAD IS THE BEST

Hypnotize is the best song on this album. Every song is amazing. Ufig is so under rated.

- WOW

WOW, That Is All

- Soad

Awesome goes right to your face and explodes like pop rocks

- Good album

If you liked "Mezmerize" then you'll probably like this one as well.

- Hypnotize

I love this song it's one of my favorites of system of a down.

- They changed it to Rock!

It's no longer Pop!(;

- Solider side

I gotta Admit solider side is the best song I ever heard

- Cool music

I love system of down. My favorite song in this album is hypnotize.

- Awesome!!

Daron once again produces some odd stuff!!

- Least favorite album, still awesome.

Attack--9/10. Very heavy riff, very good meaning. Dreaming--8/10. Again, heavy riff. I'm not quite sure what this song means, but it's still a good song. Kill Rock N' Roll--6/10. Worst song on any album. It was sung really badly, to be honest. But I promise you, they play this 100x better live. Hypnotize--10/10. Perfect. This marks where the album starts getting a lot better. Stealing Society--7/10. I dunno...a lot of repetition. But it's decent. Tentative--11/10. Genius and emotional. If you had to get 1 song from this album, get this one. (Or one other one that I'll tell you later) U-Fig--9/10. Catchy. Holy Mountains--11/10. I have no words for how good this song is. This is the other song you HAVE to get. Vicinity of Obscinity--7/10. Weirdest song I've ever heard....O_o She's Like Heroin--8/10. It will seem like a bad song at first, but just really listen to the lyrics, and it's great. Lonely Day--9/10. Okay, Daron's not the best singer in the world, but he had to have sung this in tribute to his brother. Still, it's a very sweet, yet depressing song. Lyrics aren't the best though. Soldier Side--10/10. All very true. Extremely sad, too. You might cry when you hear this. Throughout the album, you should hear each song sort of end into the next. I really like how they did that! This is the only album that I didn't love as much as the others, but it still has some very good songs on it. Buy it now!

- S.O.A.D.

I have no idea why iTunes made this a pop album its not even close to pop but its really awsome! Plus I recommend getting Hypnotize and Vicinity of Obscenity cause those are my two favorite songs of the album.

- Guy below me..

Wow dude. I have nearly nothing to say to you, first off, u may wanna learn how to actually spell MEZMERIZE right??

- Great

I don't think anyone has noticed that this is the first half and Mesmerize is the second. The last song on this album (Soldier Side) and the first song on Mesmerize (Intro/Soldier Side) are the same and Intro/Soldier Side is linking these two albums together.

- POP=POPULAR MUSIC

just saying it is rock but it was so "popular" that it was considered pop

- Pretty Awesome!

1. Attack - 9/10 pretty heavy and just a great song overall 2. Dreaming - 10/10 AMAZING song with great lyrics 3. Kill Rock & Roll - 8.5/10 it's ok but sung really badly 4. Hypnotize - 10/10 great song. It's where the album starts getting really awesome 5. Stealing Society - 9/10 not much to say but it's a little repetitive 6. Tentative - 10/10 just awesome song. Buy it now! 7. U-fig - 9/10 pretty fast and funny and cool. A SOAD classic 8. Holy Mountains - 10/10 it's "that other song that's epic that you must buy so buy it but at first it's not that good and then gets awesome" type of song 9. Vicinity Of Obscenity - 9/10 -_- 10. She's Like Heroin - 9/10 pretty weird but good 11. Lonely Day 10/10 *epic* 12. Soldier Side 10/10 heavy. Buy it. NOW. Album 75,853,627,294,936,384,948,382/10

- Great

Love system serj has new stuff out that's really good

- Great album, but their worst.

Let's face it: System Of A Down's first album is their heaviest and greatest album. Once System Of A Down got to "Mezmerize", I could see a decline. I think "Hypnotize" is their worst album, but I still love it. Anyways, let's get the review started. "Hypnotize" leads off with a fast and exciting song, "Attack", which is a great album opener, although it doesn't stand a chance against "Suite-Pee" on their self-titled album. Then comes "Dreaming", an amazing song. It's one of my favorite songs off this album. Then comes "Kill Rock N' Roll". I've seen a lot of reviews saying that this is their worst song, but it's not. It's pretty good, but has a sort of boring meaning. It's great. The highly over-rated "Hypnotize" song. It's a freaking awesome song, don't get me wrong, but there are better songs on this album. My personal favorite song on "Hypnotize" comes next. "Stealing Society" may be not that good to you, but I personally love it with all my heart, although it is under-rated. Next comes another favorite off "Hypnotize", "Tentative", although it took quite a while for me to get into it. "U-Fig" is a catchy song, but not the best. After that comes a brilliant song, "Holy Mountains". The meaning is deep, the lyrics are intelligent, and overall it's an amazing song. My personal least favorite on "Hypnotize" is next, "Victinity Of Obscenity". It's catchy but it is lacking that awesome style that System Of A Down has. "She's Like Heroin" is the same. "Lonely Day" is a very, VERY, over-rated song. It's also an amazing song like "Hypnotize", but it's mainstream. When a band like System Of A Down goes mainstream, that's a very bad sign. I love it, but they have better. "Soldier Side" is the last track on this album, but it's my second favorite song on it. It's brilliant, sad, soft, and freaking amazing. I love it with all my heart. All in all, "Hypnotize" was an amazing album, with great tracks, but it's System Of A Down's worst album. If they continued making music instead of breaking up, they would be worse. Sadly iTunes took down their self-titled album, because that's their freaking best album. But buy "Steal This Album!" or "Toxicity".

- Epic

Man hope that's true, so want to see soad together again.(dreaming is my favorite one).

- She's like Heroin

is the defining song of this conglomeration of songs and beats and treats. This is in no way the best of SOAD, but it may be the test of the rest. U figure it...

- BEST BAND!

Title says it all

- Where’s the pie?!

You guys are missing one of their best songs from this album. How has no one complained that there is no terracotta pie?! Other wise this album is a sold buy if you love SOAD

- Shut up shiny man

System is the best. Screw you.

- Just a weird but great album

I personally liked Mesmerize better, but this is much different than anything they've made before.

- Worst album

This is system of a downs worst album do not but

- listening now

man i love s.o.a.d. but like many of the greats they were gone too early i miss them anyway great album

- Hypnotize

The best SOAD album ever

- Love it!

This is such a great album!

- Perfect album \,,/

This whole record just screams talent and amazing tunes that touches my heart! I got this record for my 13th birthday and these guys changed my life!

- Love this album

Can you sing a song in this album is amazing!!!!!!

- One of the best album ever

I ne ebet

- ERMAGERD.

This album is awesome. Even though I bought only like 3 songs from here, IT'S STILL AWESOME. Hypnotize and Soldier Side are the best songs on this album.

- Amazing

Look, it's good! And SoaD is not splitting! They will come back, it's just a break! Second of all: Don't hate it because of a new singer! They're good! Third of all: 'Kill Rock and Roll' is just flat out the best song

- AWESOME XD

To be honest, I'm secretly buying this album with one song song at a time! It's an amazing album! Catchy songs, SOAD, what's not to love?!

- amazingphil

I can't help but think of phil bless his heart

- Hypnotize is GOOD

OK 1st, this is not 'Metal', this is "System of a Down", every band is original. NOw as a genre sure it can be called metal, but fact remains they are Platinum album selling artists; they are Pop as in popular. Without bias, the musical craftsmanship and musicianship of this band is never replicated and seldom matched by their contemporaries since inception.

- Love the songs

SOAD has great songs. Wish they were still together. My 2 favorites are Lonely Day and Toxicity. BEST SONGS EVER.

- Hypnotize Review outta 10 stars

Attack 7.5 Dreaming 4.5 Kill Rock 'n Roll 10 Hypnotize 10 Stealing Society 6.7 Tentative 7.8 U-Fig (why does everyone hate this song) 10 Holy Mountains 10 Vicinity of Obscenity 10 She's Like Heroin 9.5 Lonely Day 6.7 Sldier Side 7.6 Album overview 8.7

- Itunes forgets the first album!

They took the first album off itunes. If you are a true fan, please join me in complaining to them about this. Every album needs to be on itunes because they are all great!

- Awesome, awesome album worth the money

There's nothing wrong this album! Every song is awesome five star quality

- Awesome Album👍👍👍

I thought I wasted my money on this album at first but then I started listening to it more. Plus I started skating to it after that I loved it!!!

- Yep.

Wasup?! !¿! I love this album! Just sayin! I really hope SOAD makes more albums at some point! Its been like 7 years! C'mon!!!

- Busted a

But cuz holy mountains is the bast

- Jesus

1. System of a Down did break up, but Serj said he would get the band back together if he could do the album HIS WAY. He has great ideas and is creative and I think the rest of the band should give him a chance and see how he would do the album. But anyone who didn’t know, Serj does have music of his own. Great album btw

- Next album?

I really enjoy Soad. They are crazy (in a good way). But when are they gonna make a new album... I mean really! Five years?

- Please Make A Way to Put This Album Clean.

If They made A way To make this album clean, I would buy it.

- Holy cow!

I love SOAD. And I can't say enough awesome things about this album.

- Rock fans and SOAD fans will be Hypnotized

Serj Tankian and company are an amazing all time Rock Group! And why is because the lyrics and voice of Serj is omnipresent and bizarre! The songs seem like mish mash gibberish but that's why they're so awesome!

- Sub par

Another Soad album with only one or two decent songs.

- Weakest SOAD album... still rocks!

As a true fan, I have no idea why iTunes took their first album off. But this is a slant forward ahead of time from that: Attack ~ 8.5 / 10 Dreaming ~ 9 / 10 Kill Rock 'n Roll - 7.5 / 10 Hypnotize ~ 9.5 / 10 Stealing Society ~ 8.5 / 10 Tentative ~ 9 / 10 U-Fig ~ 9.5 / 10 Holy Mountains ~ 10 / 10 Vicinity of Obscenity ~ 8 / 10 She's Like Heroin ~ 8.5 / 10 Lonely Day ~ 9 / 10 Soldier Side ~ 9.5 / 10 Definitely not their best work, but it still rocks! I need to rate their first album, but it's not present at recent moments! Shame on iTunes, love SOAD!

- The album that got me into SoaD.

Not their best album (in my opinion, their self-titled is best) but it is a great album.

Hypnotize Wiki

Hypnosis is a human condition involving focused attention (the selective attention/selective inattention hypothesis, SASI), reduced peripheral awareness, and an enhanced capacity to respond to suggestion. There are competing theories explaining hypnosis and related phenomena. Altered state theories see hypnosis as an altered state of mind or trance, marked by a level of awareness different from the ordinary state of consciousness. In contrast, non-state theories see hypnosis as, variously, a type of placebo effect, a redefinition of an interaction with a therapist or a form of imaginative role enactment. During hypnosis, a person is said to have heightened focus and concentration and an increased response to suggestions. Hypnosis usually begins with a hypnotic induction involving a series of preliminary instructions and suggestions. The use of hypnosis for therapeutic purposes is referred to as "hypnotherapy", while its use as a form of entertainment for an audience is known as "stage hypnosis", a form of mentalism. The use of hypnosis as a form of therapy to retrieve and integrate early trauma is controversial within the scientific mainstream. Research indicates that hypnotising an individual may aid the formation of false memories, and that hypnosis "does not help people recall events more accurately". Medical hypnosis is often considered pseudoscience or quackery.
