Steal This Album!


$8.00 Released November, 2002

Product Shot 1 The Pros:Unique and clever CD design artwork. Disc art comes in a variety of collectable editions. Aggressive and innovative hard rock compositions.

The Cons:At times guilty of SOAD's tendency to make songs sound too similar. Style is not as groundbreaking as it seemed on the self-titled album or Toxicity.

Parental Advisory: Mature Content

This is the third album by System of a Down. This album was made after a number of leaked songs by SOAD emerged on the internet. The band decided to release the finished songs on Steal This Album! after expressing concern that fans were listening to unfinished material.

SilenceOmo7: #steal_this_album I bought this today on iTunes. Why would I bother to comment on this fact? Because iTunes charged me for the album twice. Needless to say I was ticked. Apr 1, 07
