{"product_id":"mezmerize","title":"Mezmerize","description":"Personnel: Daron Malakian (vocals, guitar); Serj Tankian (vocals, keyboards); Shavo Odadjian (bass guitar); John Dolmayan (drums).\u003cbr\u003eAudio Mixer: Andy Wallace.\u003cbr\u003eEditors: Dana Nielsen; Jason Lader.\u003cbr\u003eMany rock bands talk endlessly about their \"sound,\" refining a basic formula until it's either perfect or perfectly boring. 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":45308041953567,"sku":"827969064825","price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/c78087268dd47a399ee7d6f0ad8badc2_4ada92a8-18ac-4f05-9429-b43a51014f83.jpg?v=1782393823","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/mezmerize","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
