Background[edit]
Mezmerize was praised by critics, scoring 85 at Metacritic based on 19 reviews.[1] The album debuted at number one in at least 12 countries,[11] including the US Billboard 200, with 453,000 copies,[12] and has since been certified Platinum by the RIAA. It was chosen as one of Amazon.com's Top 100 Editor's Picks of 2005. The hit single "B.Y.O.B." won a Grammy Award in 2006 for Best Hard Rock Performance.
Metallica's Kirk Hammett named the album the eleventh best album of the decade and "Violent Pornography" the 16th-best song.
Despite the time difference between releases, Mezmerize and Hypnotize were recorded within the same time frame. The album features guitarist Daron Malakian sharing most of the vocal work with vocalist Serj Tankian, splitting the vocals at least halfway on many of the tracks.
Malakian wrote "Old School Hollywood" after playing in a celebrity baseball game for charity. The song mentions Tony Danza and Frankie Avalon, who also played in the game.[13]
The Japanese version of the album contains a slightly different mix of "Soldier Side (Intro)" with strings, while the leaked mp3 version of "Cigaro" contains a 4-stick hit intro not present in the retail version. The album artwork is done by the father of guitarist Daron Malakian, Vartan Malakian.
Soundtrack appearances[edit]
"B.Y.O.B." appeared In Guitar Hero: World Tour, Guitar Hero: Live and was DLC for Rock Band 2.
The song "Lost in Hollywood" was also sampled by rap duo Capone-N-Noreaga (CNN) in a 2008 promotional single for The War Report 2: Report the War—the single was simply entitled "Hollywood".
The song "Lost in Hollywood" was also used by YouTuber "PewDiePie" in some of his videos as his outro song from the 13th of October 2012 to the 3rd of January 2013.
