'This package consists of previously released material.'

Serj's Poem on the cover of side B goes as follow:

"★Contraband contradictions, concocting contractions conceding to caucasian caucases causing casual conclusions concerning inconclusive karma, masking masochistic mosquito massages in masculine mosques, a must see mosaic ! Take your tartar sauce, and your Tinseltown tactics to a Tic-Tac filled trumpet and blow. Enjoy the eloquent essence of esoteric engines humming in Ecstasy, Etc. Actual arctic acronyms were asked to ascertain the astral auspices of acting astericks, that's ass! She sells sea shells BUY THE REAL WH★RE !"

Track 13 (Side C - Track 4) 'F**k The System' is misspelled 'F*** The System' on Lyrics Sheet.

"I-E-A-I-A-I-O" contains interpolations from "Knight Rider" written by Stu Phillips and Glen Larson. Courtesy of Songs Of Universal, Inc (BMI)

STEAL THIS ALBUM contains outtakes and previously unreleased tracks. STEAL THIS ALBUM contains outtakes and previously unreleased tracks. Even considering the enormous popularity of nu-metal in the late '90s and early '00s, the initial mass commercial acceptance of System Of A Down was pretty surprising. On STEAL THIS ALBUM! the wildly eclectic group continues to push the envelope by even more aggressively fusing brutal, razor-sharp thrash metal with a distinctly Eastern European folk-inspired melodic sense and bizarrely humorous/politically incisive lyrics worthy of Frank Zappa or Jello Biafra. To top it all off, the songs rarely have traditional verse/chorus structures or much in the way of identifiable refrains. Amazingly, however, most of the music manages to be both intensely catchy and far more memorable than virtually anything by Korn, Slipknot, Mudvayne, or any of System Of A Down's other genre-mates. In fact, System Of A Down has less in common with these groups than with '80s everything-but-the-kitchen-sink types like Fishbone and Faith No More. STEAL THIS ALBUM is a powerfully creative statement by a group determined to expand the boundaries of nu-metal.
