System of a Down Quiz: Guess the Song & Test Your Trivia
Two voices and a political streak drive a System of a Down quiz, where the vocal can flip from calm to shout mid-line. Guess the System of a Down song from 'Chop Suey!', 'Toxicity', 'Aerials' and 'B.Y.O.B.', then test your trivia on the Armenian heritage, the anti-war lyrics, and the stop-start tempos. Tell 2001's 'Toxicity' from the 2005 pair 'Mezmerize' and 'Hypnotize', hear Serj Tankian trade lines with Daron Malakian, and find out how well you know the band that formed in Los Angeles.

System of a Down Trivia: Politics and Two Voices
The Armenian heritage, the anti-war lyrics, and the vocals that switch mid-line.
How Well Do You Know System of a Down's Message?
The Toxicity singles are easy points; the politics and the traded vocals are where the lead changes hands.
The Toxicity singles everyone knows (easy points)
'Chop Suey!', 'Toxicity' and 'Aerials' are the ones most players name in a beat. All three come from the 2001 album 'Toxicity', so casual fans bank quick points before the 2005 records arrive.
Telling Serj from Daron
The band trades vocals between Serj Tankian and guitarist Daron Malakian, often mid-line. A round here asks whose voice is leading, since the switch from a calm verse to a shout is a signature the casual ear misses.
The politics in the lyrics (where superfans pull ahead)
Many songs carry a message. 'B.Y.O.B.' protests the Iraq war, and the band has long campaigned for recognition of the Armenian Genocide. Naming the cause behind the song is where the deeper fans move ahead.
The stop-start tempo traps
Tracks like 'Chop Suey!' and 'B.Y.O.B.' lurch from a slow passage into a sprint without warning. A guess-the-track round leans on these, since the section you hear may be nothing like the part that made the song famous.
