System of a Down...two from them, actually.

Self-titled: I'm gonna have to give this a few more listens...hard to absorb the first time around.

Steal This Album!: Their "new" release, a collection of unreleased stuff from the past couple of years. However, the whole concept behind its release is interesting.

When you go to buy it, you will notice that there is no front cover and no liner notes. There are four different CD faces...one created by each member of the band. (The one created by guitarist Daron Malakian is, ummm, straight out of grade school.) The back of the case has a song listing and tells you to go to a particular section of SOAD's site for lyrics and CD credits.

So, you go to the site, follow the instructions, and it reads your CD to determine that it is indeed the new CD. Then, it opens up the lyrics and credits section. Weird stuff.
