Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about issues of the world, with lots to talk about, as the band decries drug abuse, sexism, political scandal, war, and the downside of living a wasteful life. Also, could the language be toned down with same impact?

Great music, but not for younger kids
SOAD has always been a different band. I agree with joedude. Even with chop suey!(on the album toxicity) they are really not devil worshipers.

well, i wouldnt call it dangerous...
at a young age i was exposed to system of a down's music b/c my older brother listened 2 it in the car alot and i was in his car alot. i pretty much understood the music cuz i was in the 5th grade and i really didnt find it horrible. i was surprised by all the cursing, but thats b/c i was in 5th grade! i spent my 5th-6th grade yrs listening to this stuff by force and now i listen to it cuz i like it, and so far i've turned out just fine!

It all depends on your taste.
I liked this album, but it's not for everyone my age. Acctually, it's really a good idea if you don't listen to it until your older than me. But you never know, I've been listening to this music since I was 12!
