System Of A Down’s shouts from the vault

System Of A Down’s ‘Steal This Album!’ “Contains all unreleased studio recordings of original songs taken from the vault. They have all been refined and completed exclusively for this collection,” claims the ad.

The package is available in 5 designs: standard (or DIY, as we have customised it) and 4 limited edition versions with artwork completed by each member.

Some topics worth mauling over while listening to SoaD and fighting urges to mosh/air guitar:

Politics
Greed
Violence
Sloth
Sex
Drugs
Rock

With Rage Against The Machine gone/transmuted into a more trad-rockers AudioSlave, SoaD remain a rare politically aware force amidst nu-metallers.
