Why were they so hated at the time? Most of their political lyrics still stand up...

For once, they sound better than the shitty power metal from Sweden/Finland and most USA trash brutal bands

Serj did some songs in Armenian on his solo career and he and his grandpa (a survivor) were interviewed in Screamers, a doc on genocides

"I had an out of body experience the other day, her name was Jesus.
And for her
Everyone cried
Everyone cried
Everyone cried

I wanna FUCK my way to the garden, 'cause everyone.
Needs.
A mother.
FUCKER!."
Man, the first album lyrics were a thing

WE DON'T NEED TO MULTIPLY WE DON'T NEED TO MULTIPLY WE DON'T NEED TO MULTIPLY WE DON'T NEED TO MULTIPLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

hearing toxicity on vinyl is life changing

WIRED WERE THE EYES OF A THE HORSE AND THE JET PILOT, ONE THAT SMILED WHEN HE FLEW OVER THE BAY!

A little boy smiled it’ll all be well THE LITTLE BOY SMILED IT’LL ALL BE WELL

PUSHING LITTLE CHILDREN!
WITH THEIR FULLY AUTOMATICS!
RHEY LIKE TO PUSH THE WEAK AROUND!

Tbh, I like Steal This Album a bit more.

Deer Dance is the best song in the album
