soon Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 They're both awesome! I love SOADs blend of politics, faith, spirituality, love and rage. What a powerfully timed release too, with members of the band being divided in opinion about Trump, but the band members have looked beyond that to address more pressing issues like the situation facing Armenia. Download proceeds benefit the cause for Armenian independence - by way of relief. Its just like Trump who? MAGA what? They are shit stains on history. All those betas getting ready to play toy soldier because theyre so dumb that they think Biden is a socialist need to give their fucking heads a shake. Look around the world where there is actual catastrophes happening. Heavy as it all is, this release just made 2020 kinda alright for a second 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibson87 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 I've been waiting for this for years. Gonna listen to them on my way to the gym. If I know System, these tracks will be good 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoSoRose Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 What an awesome surprise. I'm half Armenian, and although I'm not as educated on the crisis as I should be, I was moved by "Protect the Land". Both songs rock, and it bums me out they can't get their heads together for new material because this shows they still have it. Is GNR now the only big reunion band that hasn't put a new song out? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amir Posted November 6, 2020 Author Share Posted November 6, 2020 Protect the Land has really grown on me. I put the SOAD discography on shuffle on Spotify and when it came to Protect the Land I thought it was an older song that I had somehow overlooked. Such a great band, I love going through their back catalogue every once in a while, every time I do so it's like I'm rediscovering the songs and everything is a pleasant surprise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amir Posted November 6, 2020 Author Share Posted November 6, 2020 (edited) Unlike a lot of fans I actually really dig Daron's voice, but Serj is weirdly realllllly low in the mix on Protect the Land, just a little louder would have been perfect.

Yeah I love Mesmorize and Hypnotize. Seth should still stay in the forefront though Edited November 8, 2020 by ZoSoRose 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mendez Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 People seem to be surprised that Dolmayan (drummer) is doing blast beats, when he's done them before on, Dreaming, Attack, Cigaro, Sad Statue, B.Y.O.B., Bounce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rage Against The Machine come to mind too. The new SOAD songs are ok. They still sound like SOAD and it's cool that they got together and released these for a good reason. Protect The Land is obviously the better of the songs (though I agree Serj should've been mixed a little higher.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axlr0s37 Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Awesome to finally get new SOAD. Really like the songs as well! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAGE too. These songs are good, but like Mesmerise and hypnotize Darons vocal is just too prominent. I'd live if he sang half as much and let Serj do what he does best! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibson87 Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 I like Genocidal Humanoidz the best, sounds like it could have been on Toxicity. Additionally, this has reignited my interest in System. Going through all their old stuff now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoSoRose Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 I saw them in 2012. It was a great concert 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
