I don't think it's even slightly fair to say he's underrated. I grew up during the nu-metal era and let's be clear: most of the rest of the scene they were a part of has more or less been forgotten. System of a Down and Serj Tankian are already considered the high points of the era and worthy of a place in the rock/metal pantheon. They have their immortality and history has already decided that they're the ones to remember.

Knowing that these guys are Armenian-American and influenced by eastern music really makes my ears perk up to certain sounds in this song. Like the plaintive trill on the first "sacred silence and slee~eep" or the last "diso~order" in the first verse feel very familiar to me as a Greek, really redolent of traditional music in our part of the world. It just adds a subtle and unexpected layer of color to this heavy metal song.

True observation. Also interestingly other artists like the Seattle based Layne Staley (R.I.P. Layne) in Alice and chains do this naturally in his vocals without the Eastern influence. Check out her video on "Down In a Hole" by Alice in Chains. Melismata is just a very cool technique in vocals.

Makes me wonder what rock she has been living under😅 Like watching a colorblind person see color for the first time. It's been interesting also to see someone who I assume comes from a classical background (correct me if I'm wrong) be introduced to gunge/metal. There is such a different thought process about the relationship between the vocalist and the instruments. In classical it may be more like a vocalist as a performer and a piano/orchestra as accompaniment. The vocalist in these bands are definitely front and center but more often than not they are playing their voice as an instrument with the band. This is a big contrast in my mind between 80s pop and 90s alternative. Eddie Vedder, Chris Cornell, Maynard, all amazing at this. Serj does a great.job as well. Think of the vocalist as another sound texture like a different kind of guitar and your expectations come closer to what you will hear.. Think more choir with solo sections in the classical sense, but with a lot more raw emotion and intensity.

I came across 'The Vocalyst' tonight as I can't sleep... To 'The Vocalyst'...I absolutely love your reaction to music. An innate ability and intrigue to the rawness, spice, sound, vocals, season's, the intricacy of a storm and all it delivers. All if it in a song. A full presence, completely encapsulating the soul, all coming through the waves... like a sun suddenly breaking through midst the flood... I totally appreciate the excitement you dissect it note by note... The waves and riders of the storm if you will. I love the mystical and magic side of music... It's a whole another language and tongue I not only speak, feel, absorb, comprehend and fully understand. Thx for loving and appreciating music as much as I... Music overwhelms me on so many levels, it's surely one of the most magical things in the universe...

When this album came out, it was an event for my friends and I. One of the group, Chewy, got it and we car pooled to his apartment parking lot and listened to it blare through his car speakers into the night, from start to finish without pausing. It was important. I don't know how to explain it because things are so different now. It mattered a great deal that this art was made. Still makes me smile seeing it show up in spaces like this 20 years later.

I really recommend you try the song "Question!", even if in private. The song is amazing, the range they go through and the harmonies are wild.

Your initial reaction when his vocals come in are exactly the same as mine even after 20 years of loving this band. His voice is really fantastic - warm and clear with fantastic tone that cuts through the down tuned guitars so well.

I love watching people that love music and can feel it in their bones. There's something magical about watching really good music wash over someone like that.

@@rickhaddad7261 No problem, wikipedia is just one click away. The Ukraine war and the US wars in the Middle East are really interesting in how they massively shape the way we look at the world. After 9/11 there came a period in which the Middle East firmly became 'the other'. It was an unnatural but not entirely new border between 'the west' and Islam. It had been created before under the crusades, Islamic invasion of Spain and the Ottomans. But at the same time, both Christianity and Islam come from the Middle East. Muslims have lived in Europe for hundreds of years at this point. Then the Ukraine war happened. And suddenly Europe exploded in size in Western media. Western media had operated in this realm where everything east of the Iron Curtain was 'the east'. Some countries there could be seen as European, mostly Central European countries. But anything east of that? Not really European, tainted former soviet states. Now everything between Ukraine and Western Europe is firmly Europe again. Effectively erasing the othering of the Cold War. The lines we draw dramatically change over time. The divide between the West and muslims will die down with time unless Iran joins an open conflict vs the West. But even then it's probably going to be Shia Islam specifically as we'd have many Islamic allies in placed like Turkey. What is part of our in-group heavily depends on politics.

Serj really new how to hook us with attention then blast those messages in anger. This is what made their music so amazing, giving us that outlet and also providing some of the best music my generation has ever heard.

Was acutely aware of System when they were really hitting, but never got into them. Most of the Nu/Alternative Metal (if you will) didn't do anything for me, but I always loved John Dolmayan as a player and a person and always thought Serj Tankian was a powerful vocalist who was perfect for the music. This reaction made me appreciate him even more. The song itself has Rick Rubin spray-painted all over it. Again, perfect for the style. The sound of an era.

I would recommend checking them out more. They may have come out during the Nu-metal genre, but they are so much more. They are a truely special group with their own sound.

You MUST listen to "System Of A Down - Chop Suey!" It is another masterpiece.

Took me a while, but now I fully appreciate this amazing music and vibe!

SOAD will forever and ever give me goosebumps

nothing makes me happier than a vocal coach reacting to SOAD for the first time. BYOB next maybe pls? 🥺

Bloody hell I've listened to this song hundreds of times since it was released and it STILL gives me full body chills. ❤

I cry at how beautiful their music is❤

If you want to listen to another System if a Down song, I’d highly recommend Dreaming. It’s not one of their most popular but there’s awesome harmonies and vocal layering.

I concur. Also to add to that list: Holy Mountains, Question, and Hypnotize. All songs that highlight their harmonies but rarely get reacted to because they weren't singles that got visibility.

@@TheSyncos Holy Mountains would take an hour for her to breakdown and I want it!! That song is eerie, creepy, terrifying, powerful. Incredible song!

How is it possible she has never heard this vocal as a vocalist? In my world his voice is legendary.

I learned so much about voice control and human vocal chords in such a short time. Amazing teacher.

I can't help but smile while watching for your reactions! Serj's voice is a real treat

When the vocals really are another instrument in the band.

So in lve with Serj's voice... thanks for this very interesting reaction

SOAD is one of my favourite bands of all time...I just love their musicality and harmonies

Was so happy to see them a few years ago in Toronto, the entire audience was standing the entire time, and they we're just so fantastic.

Very cool watching you react as you are reacting! Well done again 😄
