Larsen B 26 Report post Posted November 2, 2005 Progressive as in prog-rock or a progression for them as a band? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marsh 14 Report post Posted November 3, 2005 More of Darrin singing - boooooooooo!It's okay, but I wouldnae rave about it. And I actually liked some of the last album. But Serj is one of the most unique vocal talents ever and I feel they are not playing to their strengths when Darrin is singing. Back - up vocals - fine. Lead vocals - no.The album will follow in a similar vein I think................. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paranoid Android 2107 Report post Posted November 3, 2005 It's a good song, not absolutely amazing though. Saying that I've only heard it properly once. I didn't think there was anything progressive about it though. If the album is half as good as Mezmerize I'll be more than happy. darren has an amazing voice as well and I'm happy for them both to sing a bit of lead vocals.

Knight of Swords 0 Report post Posted November 3, 2005 Argree with Marsh, let Serj do all the singing.SOAD have been a big disappointment for me. First heard them when they supported Sabbath on the Last Supper tour and I really liked the first album. Downhill from there. This single is better, but it doesn't really happen in a big way.

Paranoid Android 2107 Report post Posted November 3, 2005 SOAD have got better with every album and Mezmerize is five times as good as any of their other albums. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marsh 14 Report post Posted November 3, 2005 SOAD have got better with every album and Mezmerize is five times as good as any of their other albums.Sorry, I strongly disagree with that. Toxicity is way better than Mezmerize. And i'm sure many would agree with that. Mezmerize has it's moments, but as an album Toxicity is far better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jimmygoodein 1 Report post Posted November 3, 2005 Progressive as in prog-rock or a progression for them as a band?well, the whole element of prog-rock is progression and doing something different. You couldnt really call a band prog-rock if they didnt progress in some way, whether that is music progression in general or progression of the band. A band should not be tagged prog rock just cause they sound like Genisis or whatever, Genesis were a prog band because the bands music Progressed and they changed the music scene of the time, to me it sounds like SOAD are progressing in many ways, just listen to sugar for a start and then listen to hypnotize, I believe there is quite a progression there. So i guess there answer to your question is yes, and yes.wey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
