"Hypnotize"'s lyrics include 'They disguise it, hypnotize it' and 'Mesmerize the simple-minded'.Bookends: Mezmerize/Hypnotize double album, the one's outro echoing the other's intro ("Soldier Side").Bawdy Song: "Bounce", "Cigaro", "Violent Pornography", "I-E-A-I-A-I-O".
"This is not a rock and roll concert! To our murderers, THIS! IS! REVENGE!"
This numbering doesn't count demo tracks, bonus tracks or B-Sides, which would obviously push the numbers up. The band slightly changed the title from its original 36 to. Arc Number: 36 had always had its title since it was written and demoed back in the 90s, but the band specifically held over releasing it until it could actually be the 36th album track they released (It became this as the 9th track on Steal This Album).Alternative Metal: It's both an accurate and an inadequate descriptor for them.Hypnotize and Mesmerize each have a song that does this see Bookends below.Toxicity has one in the track it's named after.However, it's a coincidence, as the two names originate from different parts of the world. Daron is something of a subversion - it doesn't sound unusual to people in the UK and Australia, where the identically pronounced Darren is a common name (and thus often taken to be a variant spelling).The band's original drummer, whose real name was the impossibly bad-ass Ontronik Khachaturian, simply went by "Andy", making him an Aerith AND a Bob.Aerith and Bob: Serj, Daron, Shavo and.John.They are also in favor of drug decriminalization & are strongly anti-interventionist. They have been vocal in spreading word about the early-20th-century Armenian genocide, up to and including a tour to commemorate its 100th anniversary (though "P.L.U.C.K." and "Holy Mountains" are their only songs specifically about the tragedy itself). Probably their most well-known attribute is their rapid tone/tempo/time signature changes, giving the music a schizophrenic feel (most noticeable in songs like "Question!," "I-E-A-I-A-I-O," "B.Y.O.B.," and, of course, "Chop Suey!").
Some of their songs have absurdist lyrics, others are sung as if speaking directly to the listener and feature terse statements and lots of questions/demands, and others yet are more sarcastic and satirical. Their lyrics often revolve around themes of isolation, insanity, and criticisms of modern society.
