Released in 2005, 'Mesmerize' captures System of a Down at the height of their creative and political powers. Produced by Rick Rubin and guitarist Daron Malakian, the album balances razor-sharp thrash riffs with surreal melodies and biting satire. From the anthemic 'B.Y.O.B.' to the haunting 'Question!' and 'Lost in Hollywood', 'Mesmerize' fuses fury, humor, and heart in equal measure — a whirlwind of protest, absurdity, and emotion that solidified the band’s place as one of the most fearless voices in modern rock.
