Toxicity by System of a Down Album Review

In this week's episode, Matt and Ryan take a look at the 2001 album from System of a Down called Toxicity. This record was the big break for the group featuring singles "Chop Suey!", "Toxicity", and "Aerials". The group themselves are often held in high regard within the Numetal scene due to their instrumental dynamism and the vocal range of Serj Tankian. Check out what the guys have to say about the album!
