I just heard the isolated vocals the other day and holy shit was that a treat,” one person wrote.Someone else, however, admitted that they don’t like the song’s spot on Steal This Album!. “I think the reason ‘Ego Brain’ is one of my least favorite SOAD songs is its placement in the album (maybe even the album it’s on). When I’m jamming to StA, it just cracks the groove for me. In a vacuum the song is great. In the totality of the album and a listening session, it is a speed bump to my smooth brain,” they explained.System of a Down, “Ego Brain”Other Songs MentionedSome of the other tracks fans mentioned were “U-Fig,” “P.L.U.C.K.,” “Forest,” “Peephole,” “Mr. Jack” and “Attack.” Check out the Reddit thread linked at the top of the story to see more of the discussion.Top 50 Nu-Metal Albums of All-TimeThese are the top 50 nu-metal albums of all time.
