THE REVIEW
If I were asked to describe the album Toxicity with one adjective, I would undoubtedly say "MASTERPIECE".
From the first time I listened to it, I said to myself: these guys are geniuses, because combining typical nu-metal sounds (metal-hip hop-rap) with sounds from their homeland (Armenia) is not a simple task.
The song that makes an impact right away is undoubtedly ATWA (number 9), sweet, heartbreaking, tear-jerking, but at the same time crazy, vibrant, and explosive.
Not to be forgotten is their signature song AERIALS that finally gave these 4 guys their well-deserved recognition.
If you don't know how to spend your money and you haven't bought Toxicity yet, well, I think it's time to go to a CD store and buy this "MASTERPIECE".

Chop Suey! has a break down and an ending chorus that'll make you scream at the top of your lungs like you never have, EVER!
Every time you listen to it again, it’s like it’s the first time. And I guarantee the emotion is masterful!
By Devin Davis
The skill of Serj Tankian and company in composing songs is so immense that you would never stop listening to their tracks.
You must have "Toxicity", original or copied. And I guarantee that it will stay in your stereo or cd player for a long time.

Toxicity is an album that changed my life.
There’s nothing, I mean nothing, in this album that isn’t there for a specific reason.

Not only a complete and well-made album but also very original.
Finally, even in the realm of hard rock, we find calm and catchy riffs that shouldn’t be underestimated.
By Bertoldo
In my opinion, as one of (if not the) best albums in the entire nu/heavy/alternative metal scene from the '90s onwards.
'Chop Suey!' the group's flagship, an extraordinary song that fits every ear thanks to its thousand facets.
