Fans react as System Of A Down’s ‘Toxicity’ album is pulled from Spotify
“We have an international crisis” The post Fans react as System Of A Down’s ‘Toxicity’ album is pulled from Spotify appeared first on NME.

Fans have been reacting after discovering that the System Of A Down album ‘Toxicity’ has been removed from Spotify.
The iconic 2001 album was first noticed to be missing from the streaming platform last night and, at time of writing, it looks like the issue is still at hand.
Strangely enough, the top three singles from the record – ‘Chop Suey!’, ‘Toxicity’ and ‘Aerials’ –are still displayed accurately on the list of SOAD’s top songs, although none of them are listed as part of the actual album. The first two are displayed in a compilation rock album called ‘Rock Classico’, while ‘Toxicity’ is shown as part of an album called ‘Nice 2000s’.
As for the remainder of the songs from the 2001 album, there seems to be no sight of them on Spotify at all, other than various live versions and covers of the songs by other artists.
Unsurprisingly, the album being pulled from Spotify has got System Of A Down fans talking, with many taking to social media to share their thoughts – with responses ranging from lighthearted to devastation.
“WHY IS TOXICITY BY SYSTEM OF A DOWN GONE FROM SPOTIFY THIS IS THE WORST DAY EVER,” one X/Twitter user wrote, while another added: “they took Toxicity by system of a down off of spotify i need to sit down.”
“Forget about the election!! We have an international crisis!!!,” a third wrote, and someone else made a quip about the situation, implying that the decision was made by the government due to the frontman sharing his political outlook. “Serj Tankian being on the fbi watchlist rn and getting toxicity taken off of spotify oh 2005 soad we are so back,” they wrote.
