System of a Down albums get review of 7.1 and 7.9

Since this is a System of a Down forum, I'm curious what people think of this review.

http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/record-reviews/s/system-of-a-down/mezmerize-hypnotize.shtml

Personally I don't like the album that much. I'd be curious to hear what points people here disagree with.

hell, i even hate their lower scoring reviews for albums i despise.

I'm with you. I've liked their other stuff a heck of a lot more... These albums are pretty much just annoying.
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

Lassev: I guess there was something captivating in savagery, because I liked it.
