Review :
{$System of a Down}'s self-titled major-label debut finds the Los Angeles band consolidating its gothic {\alt-metal}, sharpening its deadly riffs, strengthening its brutal rhythms, and adding muscle to its attack. The band differentiates itself from the legions of Southern Californian alt-metalheads by emphasizing its Armenian musical heritage, which gives the music an eerie, otherworldly quality. Part of the success of {^System of a Down} lies with producer {$Rick Rubin}, who helps give the band focus, but ultimately the record works because of the band itself, since they have contributed a set of strong songs that illustrates this is a band that relies on smarts as well as sound. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
