Toxicity is the second studio album from Armenian-by-way-of-L.A. prog-metal band System of a Down. The album was released a week before the terrorist attacks on 9/11 and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard album chart. Due to politically sensitive lyrics on the hit song “Chop Suey!” (“I don’t think you trust in my self-righteous suicide”), the song was immediately taken off the airwaves, though it did earn the group a Grammy nomination. Other hits on this album include “Aeriels” and the title track “Toxicity.”
