System Of A Down
Mezmerize
Rare & Collectible Vinyl Records

Sealed 2018 with inner sleeve. Recorded at The Mansion in Laurel Canyon and produces by Rick Rubin. "Mezmerize," the fourth studio album by System of a Down, released in 2005, presents a visceral blend of the band's signature chaotic energy and incisive sociopolitical commentary. The tracks weave through a tapestry of aggressive metal riffs, unconventional time signatures, and melodic interludes, a testament to the band’s ability to fuse disparate elements into a cohesive whole. Songs like "B.Y.O.B." and "Cigaro" exemplify the band's knack for juxtaposing frenetic instrumentals with piercing, satirical lyrics, aimed squarely at the political landscape of the time. This album captures not just the raw intensity that System of a Down is known for, but also a refined approach to songwriting that demonstrates their growth as musicians.
