From the band's chaotic rise in post-9/11 Los Angeles to the riotous scenes at a free concert gone awry, we recount the events that shaped this masterwork and its indelible impact on rock music. Biting social commentary, "controversial themes and humour abound, as well as creative tensions between Serge Tankian and Darren Malakian that fueled the band's unique sound. Delving into the surrealist and Beatles influences, we discuss how these elements, along with Rick Rubin's masterful production, helped craft the album's distinctive blend of humor, activism, and serious themes.
