System Of A Down - Toxicity

I really admire this band. They have so much balls. They clearly don't give a fuck what people think about them. Especially coming out of the late 90s LA scene. To come out of that and make a record that's got so many amazing riffs but also has this really theatrical side to it as well… I just think it's really brave. They're all just amazing musicians as well. They just made it feel really natural and effortless. None of it feels contrived.
