Believe me, remember my last interest on Imogen Heap, how I felt like I couldn't listen to any other song but that one? It was because I was getting sick of my music. I had heard it too much, it didn't offer a thrill anymore like that song did. I turned to Celldweller and the Underwater for some temporary relief, but I was quietly begining to despair. And then, I finally on a whim ask Aman for the new/old System of a Down CDs Mesmerize and Hypnotize. I'm so glad I did. BYOB and Cigaro gave me the wrong impression about where the band was headed...those songs were OK, but nothing compared to some of the other tracks on the CDs. It is like a massive intake of fresh air and I just am enjoying listening to the music again. Oh System of a Down, why did I ever doubt you?
Look at the time, 4:45. I can't go to sleep, I can't stop hearing this music. Lyrically powerful, musically innovative (moreso than many of their past songs, not so many power chords more intricate guitar parts). Yes, the guitarist Daron sings more, which isn't necessarily a good thing but he's certainly gotten better and they are using his 'talent' more effectively to compliment Serg's awesome voice.
I am at peace. Music is once again restored to me.
