Come on, two reviews of this album and not even one for "The Sickness"? Guys, step it up...

Anyway, you got the name of the group wrong; they are called OrthReLm, not OrthLeRm. You mixed up T and R.

The album intrigues me a lot... But you could have written a little more...

"Toxicity" in my opinion is an album that will go down in history. With a 99% probability, it is the best nu-metal album ever released, even superior to the self-titled Korn album from '94 and "Around The Fur" by Deftones (although that label is somewhat inadequate in this context, it's the closest one). There's little doubt about this. One of the most damn intelligent bands of recent years. Especially those who can give a 1 to an album like this probably understand very little or nothing about music, especially metal music. People, come on, open your eyes for once. True metal is now outdated. The System won’t be Opeth or Darkthrone, nor will they be Rhapsody or Brutal Truth. So what? Let’s be serious. In terms of originality, skill, and musical intelligence, the System stand to Manowar like Einstein stands to a dockworker at a third-grade level. And finally, just to clarify: do you really believe that "Toxicity" is inferior to any album by Pantera? Come on. I loved "Cowboys from Hell," I was even hyped by "Reinventing The Steel," and so on. But "Toxicity" is a classic. A MODERN classic, yes, not a metal classic (and who cares, that label is indeed restrictive), but still a great, glorious, beautiful, and essential classic. Unique.

There’s little doubt about this. One of the most damn intelligent bands of recent years. Especially someone who can rate an album like this with a 1 means they perhaps understand very little or nothing at all about music, even more so about metal music. People, come on, open your eyes just this once. True metal is now outdated. System of a Down may not be Opeth or Darkthrone, nor Rhapsody or Brutal Truth. So what? Let’s be serious. In terms of originality, capability, and musical intelligence, System of a Down stands to Manowar as Einstein stands to a dockworker with a middle school education. And finally, just to clarify: do you really believe that "Toxicity" is inferior to any album by Pantera? Come on. I loved "Cowboys from Hell," I even got hyped about "Reinventing The Steel" and so on. But "Toxicity" is a classic. A MODERN classic, yes, not a metal classic (and who cares, that label is actually restrictive), but still a grand, glorious, beautiful, and indispensable classic. Unique.

And Sallu comparing them to Radiohead makes me laugh uncontrollably... I don’t think Tom would approve. And neither would Daron and the gang.

Yes, it lasts 31 and a half minutes... it's almost a real album...

No, I'm sorry if I responded with such enthusiasm!;-) Obviously, Celestial is inferior to an Oceanic and, just imagine, to a Panopticon, but I think it's still a very underrated album (I'll review it soon). Let's not forget what this wonderful band was like back in the days of Mosquito Control... Their evolution was natural; it's normal for it to be that way. I still haven't managed to get that project! :-( But sooner or later, I'll find it... I don't think Turner can let me down.

Green Day have been around for quite some time; they were the ones who created the so-called pop punk genre. Good Charlotte thrives on the punk image that gets teenage girls so excited during puberty. They don't make music; they're just simple puppets to make money. If you really like the genre, listen to Green Day or Blink-182...
