      If you have a preference for doing music videos first, SOAD songs you haven't mentioned hearing before with music videos are: Sugar, War?, Boom!, Question!, Hypnotize, Lonely Day and the 2 they dropped in 2020 (the only 2 they've released post 2005), Genocidal Humanoidz and Protect the Land. If you don't care about a video, Mind and Holy Moutains are my top 2 😉 (Mind is probably their heaviest song and it's fuckin awesome!!!!)

    SOAD is one of those once in a generation bands where every single song from every single album is a classic! You could put on any one of their albums and I'm sure most people could sing along with every song. It's hard to put into words how iconic they were in the late 90's and early 00's.

    Lyrics are rather abstract in this one (like the video - and what a video it is!) but it's one of my top two contenders of the best System Of a Down song, the other being Toxicity. Serj's eastern glottal vocal technique (which is also hailed in Turkish folk and classical music) is quite dominant in Spiders that gives out a unique vibe 🤘

It's probably one of the most underrated songs from them. I really hope you react to that one, but honestly, you just can't go wrong.
    As for the meaning to this song, you pretty much nailed. There are a lot of theories surrounding it, but from my understanding, it's about how we are constantly being monitored and controlled, hence the line "the v-chip gives them sight". Also, spiders are also known as web-crawlers (aka search bots) on the internet, or world wide WEB. Just food for thought. Keep the SOAD coming please!!

    Listening to this album back in 98 i never would have guessed that a few years later they would be one of the biggest bands of the 2000s. Just not the sound you would expect to have such mainstream success. They really helped usher in the *new* (no, not nu. They are not nu metal) metal of the time.

The lead singer James Hettfield of Metallica couldn't make it due to a jet ski accident. Bc of that we got to see the rest of Metallica perform with members from the other bands as well as free tickets to a Metallica concert in a few months in the same area.

    Huge fan of System when I was a kid. I didn't know honestly how incredible they really were til 20 years later nothing better has been done haha. At least not in the genre.
