Notes

Similar to System Of A Down - Mezmerize but this version has embossed cover.

Released in a 4 digipak with reverse alignment (front is back and back is front). Includes obi strip. Embossed front sleeve. 12-page booklet.

This album is a twin release with the album Hypnotize. Both digipaks are designed to interlock with each other via a cardboard flap on the Hypnotize release. Assembled, the whole package looks like a double release with each obi around its own digipak.

Recording location: The Mansion in Laurel Canyon, Los Angeles, CA and Akademie Mathematique Of Philisophical Sound Research, Los Angeles, CA.
Mixed at Soundtrack Studios, New York, NY and Enterprise Studios, Los Angeles, CA.
Mastered at Sony Music Studios, New York, NY.

Additional note on Rights Societies: the French 'SACEM' logo appears on the CD but it's very small and blurred. Even with a magnifying glass or a mini-microscope it's too pixelated to read if the societies are either SACEM SACD SDRM SGDL or SACEM SACD SDRM SCAM or anything else.

    I've waited a long time to buy Mezmerize and Hypnotize by System Of A Down. I had two copies and together they make 1 decent album. Some numbers should have been b-sides and SOAD decided to add them and make two albums out of it. Both albums are very short and released at the same time. Reminds me of the days Metallica made 3 singles out of every song released. Makes it almost impossible and priceless to collect all work by one artist. I finally bought both albums for 14 euro's total, which would be a normal price for one album.

    Still, both albums do have good tracks on it. Some lyrics are a bit simple (take "My dick is much bigger than yours") but that's true for a lot of bands in the metal-punk scene. What's the main difference with the previous albums "Steal This Album", "Toxicity" and the selftitled one is that these two seem more serious. Also more vocalistic than the other ones. I would have rather seen one album (not 2) with the same explosive music like the first 3 albums.
