On the opposite end is F**k the System, something of a play of words. However, it’s just so breathtakingly melancholy, you can’t help but appreciate it. is not a fun song in any sense of the word in fact, it’s likely to be one of the most dark and depressing songs they’ve ever written. The definition of a grower, Steal This Album takes it’s occasional awkwardness and throws it at your face, forcing you to accept its goodness.
While songs may sound the same upon first listen, it wont take very long for each song to gain its own sense of being on you. The variety of the album is arguably enough to put them at the top of their careers, originality wise. Make sense?

They create a perfect balance of songs, ranging from said explosions, to charging tunes like 36 (far under-appreciated, as it’s a fun romp through nothing in particular. Then again, there are songs like Pictures that start off slow, and then suddenly explode into greatness out of nowhere. Jack don’t drone on, rather expand upon the original sound as it progresses rather than repeat itself for four minutes. With the songs clocking in at under 3 minutes each, there is little room for System to repeat itself. Part of the reason is that, per song, it’s the shortest System album date. Unlike other releases, where System gets too wrapped up in being too similar throughout a song or throwing ideas together constantly with varied results, Steal This Album! accomplishes the goal of what seems to be every System album: a group of songs that fit, and have four times the amount of ideas than the track number would suggest. You know those emotional, epic moments System like to have occasionally? Oh wait, I-E-A-I-A-I-O has that too.
You know the near-rapping vocals Serj occasionally likes to do? I-E-A-I-A-I-O features some of the most tongue twisting System moments.

I’m really only here to convince you to listen to this album. I will not bother dealing with any of that bulls hit. There are dozens of stories concerning what this album is, whether it be b-sides, the first cut of Toxicity, or hell, mostly old demos re-recorded or in their original form. Steal This Album can instead be described as System of a Down’s most surprisingly triumphant album.
