!! Tracklist:
# "Chic 'n' Stu" (2:23)
# "Innervision" (2:33)
# "Bubbles" (1:56)
# "Boom!" (2:14)
# "Nüguns" (2:30)
# "A.D.D. (American Dream Denial)" (3:17)
# "Mr. Jack" (4:09)
# "I-E-A-I-A-I-O" (3:08)
# "36" (0:46)
# "Pictures" (2:06)
# "Highway Song" (3:13)
# "Fuck the System" (2:12)
# "Ego Brain" (3:21)
# "Thetawaves" (2:36)
# "Roulette" (3:21)
# "Streamline" (3:37)
!! Musicians:
[[AC: System of a Down]]
* Serj Tankian - Lead vocals, keyboards
* Daron Malakian - Guitar, vocals
* Shavo Odajian - Bass
* John Dolmayan - Drums
[[AC: Additional Musicians]]
* Arto Tunçboyaciyan - Backing vocals and percussion on Bubbles
* Greg Collins - Theremin on Ego Brain
!! Pepperoni and green peppers, mushrooms, olive, tropes:
* AlbumClosure: Streamline is the most climactic song and ends with a goodbye.
* CallAndResponseSong: "Chic 'n' Stu"
--> '''Serj''': Pepperoni and green peppers, mushrooms, olive, chives.\\
'''Daron''': Pepperoni and green peppers, mushrooms, olive, chives!
* ClusterFBomb: The majority of the lyrics of "Fuck the System" are variations of the TitleDrop. "A.D.D." and the end of "Mr. Jack" have this to a lesser degree.
* EpicInstrumentalOpener: "Mr. Jack" starts its vocals around 1:17.
* FoodSongsAreFunny: Serj and Daron sing about pizza in an eccentric way in "Chic 'n' Stu", though the song is more of an anti-advertising song than an OdeToFood.
* MinimalisticCoverArt: Some stores have an inserted white slip consisting of just the title to keep people from thinking it had a booklet that was stolen. The standard "cover" is just a white disc modeled after a CD-R to make it look like a bootleg, reflecting the album’s nature of being mainly reworked versions of leaked Music/{{Toxicity}} outtakes.
* MinisculeRocking: "Bubbles" (1:56) and "36" (0:46).
* NoEnding: Just before the end of the last chorus, "Thetawaves" abruptly segues into "Roulette".
* ProtestSong: At least half the songs, but "Boom!" stands out with its explicit anti-war message and even having a video made by Creator/MichaelMoore.
* StepUpToTheMicrophone: Daron's backing vocals are more prominent here than they were on the first two albums, especially the first. He gets the intro and [[CallAndResponseSong response]] parts of "Chic 'n' Stu" and sings alongside Serj for the majority of "Mr. Jack".
* SpokenWordInMusic: The verses in "Boom!" are spoken.
