THE LOWDOWN: Listening to albums shouldn't require too much hard work -- but `Kultura-Diktatura' is an album that rewards perseverance. Because, to start with, it's seriously fucking weird. It's System Of A Down finally consumed by their folk-isms; it's a Romany campfire gathering where gypsies turn amps up to 11. It's six languages spilling over rock, hip-hop, samba, balladry and punk.

But most of all, it will rock your world.
