Mesmerize/Hypnotize is, essentially, a double album carved into two equal chunks of metal in the studio. John Dolmayan stopped by to talk with Sona Oganesyan about System of a Down unreleased/demo tracks from the Mezmerize/Hypnotize sessions in 2004/05 and how h. And it's precisely because of that weird aggression/aggravation dynamic that Mezmerize/Hypnotize is as strong a concept/double album as metal can offer in 2005. Of course, truth also drives SOAD to make passionate, if slightly screwy, decisions: Serj Tankian's ADD sputter of "eat 'em eat 'em eat 'em eat 'em" and "banana banana banana terracotta" on Hypnotize Mezmerize's detour into celebrity baseball game outtakes on "Old School Hollywood." These moments are head-scratchers, no doubt, but they're integral to the experience - System of a Down confound and irritate even as they rock. It drives the boiling rage in Hypnotize's "Attack," "Stealing Society," and "U-Fig" on "Holy Mountain," it inspires SOAD to transform the sad facts of genocide into the album's most vicious, powerful, and arresting moment. Truth is the motor for System's spazzy, modernist thrash. It was released on November 22, 2005.Tra.

But the extra cardboard slotting's a little extraneous, as are some of the sonic parts on both albums. ago I can agree with you on that, hypnotize has more simple riffs to play lol 1 SOADfan123 3 yr. Despite the time difference between releases, Mezmerize and Hypnotize were recorded within the same time frame. Released in November 2005, roughly six months after its counterpart, Hypnotize does indeed feature a tri-fold design.
