| | System Of A Down Hypnotize CD System Of A Down Discography of CDs
Just when it seemed that System of a Down couldn't do anything to improve on their standing as the most unique and ambitious band in the alternative metal world, they decided to drop their sprawling, Rick Rubin-produced double album by releasing ... Full Descriptioneach disc separately. Early 2005 saw the arrival of MESMERIZE. After that album gained significant exposure via tours, radio, and videos, the album's counterpart, HYPNOTIZE, was released in late November. The albums were recorded in the same sessions--so there is a strong sense of musical cohesion, and even the CD packages themselves are designed to fit together to form one set.
"Attack" and "Dreaming" the first songs on HYPNOTIZE, are classic System of a Down with their furious riffage, schizophrenic song structures, and the slinky, nasal vocals of lead singer Serj Tankian. The band knows how to craft a hook ("Kill Rock 'N Roll," "She's Like Heroin"), raise political consciousness ("Stealing Society" is about the Armenian genocide), and rock with the ferocity of the heaviest speed and thrash metal bands. In short, System of a Down seems capable of doing anything, and HYPNOTIZE is further, indisputable proof of that fact.

DVD Features:Rolling Stone (No. 988, p.117) - 3.5 out of 5 stars - "...Hell immediately runneth over on Malakian's scoured-staccato guitars and Dolmayan's furious hammering...."
Spin (p.102) - "[The first album's] tracks, all around four minutes long, ricochet through a clutch of ideas, compressing what might otherwise be prog-rock suites into jump-cut barrages. That strategy certainly keeps the songs moving..." -- Grade: B
Spin (p.62) - Ranked #20 in Spin's "40 Best Albums Of 2005" - "America's most compelling metal band hones a mash-up of Cali-punk absurdism, political outrage, and jump-cut headbanging."
Entertainment Weekly (No. 851, p.100) - "...[T]hey're flaunting a heretofore underexplored sensitive side, offsetting their trademark stampeding riffology with flashes of delicate lyricism...." - Grade: B+
Uncut (p.109) - 3 stars out of 5 - "System succeed through their skill at wielding complex, progressive heaviness in a pop context." Hide Description System Of A Down Hypnotize Songs | 1. | Attack |

Purchase Hypnotize CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Tool Aenima CD (1996)
Hypnotize album
 $15.49    
AENIMA was nominated for a 1997 Grammy Award for Best Recording Package. "Aenima" won the 1998 Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance.
On its second full-length album, this hard-rocking quartet delivers 15 tracks of unrelenting aggression and focused intensity. Rather than overwhelm with huge sonic washes of guitar and booming drums, Tool employs a propulsive, snaky approach that makes use of undulating rhythms and clipped, percussive guitar riffs. Maynard James Keenan's vocals follow suit, opting for a heavily processed slow burn instead of the post-grunge bellow favored by so many hard-rock bands. Instead of flailing uncontrollably in all directions, the group's raw, energetic sound is tightly directed for maximum impact.
On songs like "Stinkfist," Keenan rails against injustice while the band churns mercilessly behind him. There is very little humor or light in Tool's worldview (except for song titles like "Hooker With A Penis"); these are songs of painstakingly articulated angst, and they are delivered ...

Hypnotize music CDs
$15.65 
AMERICAN SOLDIER, Queensr˙che's 12th studio release, culminates in a full-album concept, similar to their 1988 rock opera masterpiece, OPERATION: MINDCRIME. The primary difference is that this time around, Queensr˙che are not weaving a tale. Rather, ...

| | Tony Iommi Fused CD (2005)
Hypnotize album
$12.35 
Following up 2000's cast-of-thousands album IOMMI, Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi resurrected his solo project for 2005's FUSED. Session-drummer extraordinaire Kenny Aronoff and bassist/keyboardist Bob Marlette are once again on board, with former Deep Purple member Glenn Hughes joining in on vocals and bass. Given Hughes's history with Iommi--he sang on Black Sabbath's SEVENTH STAR, as well as an aborted 1996 Iommi record that eventually saw the light of day in 2004--their pairing seems quite natural. While nobody tops Iommi's rapport with Ozzy Osbourne, Hughes does an admirable job playing off the guitarist's gargantuan riffs, particularly on the fierce "Wasted Again" and the brooding "Resolution Song." FUSED closes on "I Go Insane," a nine-minute-plus suite that ...
| | Tool 10,000 Days CD (2006)
Hypnotize CD music
$15.09
To its legion of fans, everything the band Tool does is an event, but the elaborate plan behind their sporadic release schedule--roughly five years, on average, between albums--is due primarily to the time and effort the band packs into each successive effort. To title their fourth album 10,000 DAYS, then, isn't as much an exaggeration as it would seem. Tool are America's most consummate mainstream perfectionists, revitalizing progressive rock to the grandeur of its '70s heyday, but updated with technocratic tension and existential dread not known to previous generations. Perhaps it's the development of more musical genres at the turn of the millennium, but it's also Tool's ability to take what is needed from each and leave the florid excesses behind, forming a seething gray core of angst and release across epic-length songs that are as accessible as they are complex. The material on 10,000 DAYS provides typically thought-provoking grist ...
| | Green Mile CD (2000) Original Soundtrack
Hypnotize music CDs
$9.09
Although the movie (from a Stephen King novel) is set in the '30s, THE GREEN MILE's score by Thomas Newman (son of Alfred, cousin of Randy) is thoroughly contemporary, and postmodern to the max in its mix of styles and sounds. Newman is equally at home with a full orchestra, a rock band, or samples; his score switches on ...

Hypnotize CD music
$20.25
As you read this, hopefully you are listening to the music of Denis Farfone.Denis Farfone is a super hornman. He can play any style of music which is evident in his many solo albums. He started performing in high school in a rock band playing Led Zepplin on the organ and Jethro Tull on the flute. He auditioned for an original rock band on alto saxophone and was hired on the spot. He also auditioned for an original band in New York City on alto saxophone and was hired immediately. The guitarist said, "You really have a hot sound!" Denis also recorded a tenor saxophone solo for a recording studio in New York City. Denis auditioned for a college big band in Nashville on the tenor saxophone and made solo chair. He was also hired on tenor saxophone and flute for the Evans-Gerard Jazz Quartet playing original and copy tunes from such groups as Weather Report, Chick Corea...to name a few.

He also auditioned for a symphonic band in upper Westchester County on the tenor saxophone and made solo chair where he played many outdoor concerts and met tenor saxophonist Carmen Leggio.After years of playing for other groups, this album showcases his PopJazz sound: a pop style and a soulful sound with a jazz feel...on the soprano saxophone.Denis Farfone's musical voice is now ...
| | Elend World In Their Screams CD (2007)
Hypnotize music CDs
$14.09
The always fascinating French duo Elend create stormy, neoclassical goth-scapes in various shades of grey, supported by the occasional piercing soprano and the excellent musicianship of a chamber orchestra. Their seventh album, released in 2007, is the coup de grace of their compelling Winds Cycle trilogy. With pieces like "Waves of Blood," "I Touched the Borders of Death," and "I Gathered Your Members," it would be unwise to expect a good-time party record, but for mood-making intensity, Elend are the best.
