System of a Down, however, developed a loyal fanbase with the opposite approach--the group mixes genres so freely that describing what their music sounds like is nearly impossible. Sure, SOAD is, at its core, a metal band, but on MEZMERIZE's first two songs alone, vocalist\/guitarist\/mastermind Daron Malakian and crew zigzag their way though Beach Boys-like stacked vocal harmonies, Anthrax-esque hardcore thrash, Cameo-style funk, and prog rock of a CARESS OF STEEL-era Rush variety. \"Revenga\" adds a touch of swooping Freddie Mercury vocal drama to the mix, while \"Sad Statue\" sports a guitar riff that sounds like a Greek bouzouki. Even sharper, tighter, and more ambitious than System of a Down's previous albums, MEZMERIZE makes for a consistently surprising listen.","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51704175296799,"sku":"827969416129","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/4b78d373f12811259f8f294d6faab6a1_ad49f4ff-6010-47e7-8920-2fc7333a248b.jpg?v=1777941569","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/mezmerize-clean","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
