1 Freedom - Isaak Hypnotizer

Advantages: Melodic, memorable and all round entertaining
Disadvantages: None...

...'t stand System Of A Down, then whilst I would still say try and give the album a chance, I think you might struggle to get into it overall. For me, this is an album I certainly don't regret buying and am very pleased to have it as part of my music collection.
