October: System of a Down’s Toxicity​

October’s Rock Record of the Month is System of a Down’s Toxicity, the band’s socially conscious record. It’s pressed on 180g “Toxic Red & Black Quad” colored vinyl with lacquers cut by Barry Grint at AIR Mastering, and is the first-ever release with a gatefold jacket. This album will not include a hype sticker or Listening Notes booklet.

this is criminal

That's interesting, I wonder why that would be.

That’s odd. I presume it is still a VMP exclusive?

Band request. They really liked the way the original came out and they wanted this one to be exactly like that. I think they said they'd mail out a booklet after. Not sure about that though.

they're shipping the OBI outside of the LP I know.. and also I dunno why they want exactly like this when this is also the first gatefold pressing

Also no booklet for STP either

I honestly have no idea why since they are doing this new artwork and fancy colour so it's just weird

Easy swap to Ode to Billie Joe ..been after a copy of that for a while

Not to stoke the fomo flames but per Storf in discord, System of a Down might sell out in the swap window.

Btw the listening book they would have shipped is on their website

System of a Down's Unrelenting, Peerless Attack

Thankfully (or sadly for some) it is not written by storf but by Andy O'Connor

I can't imagine Storf would have written something worse than that. It made me cringe and the band should be glad it's not going in the record. I don't normally hate on these things, but this was painful to read.

Amazing you made it all the way through. These listening notes need to stop pretending like every album put out was a cultural touchstone.

I didn't. I made it pretty far, but it was just too embarrassing to think that this was "professionally" written.

I'm perversely curious now...

...oh man.

This is awful.

It's like a mediocre high school blog with no Editor.
