The record

Title: System of a Down – System of a Down
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1998, Rock, Alternative Metal, Los Angeles, CA
Condition: New

Cultural Facts:

  1. Political Science: Armenian diaspora identity was baked in early—genocide memory and immigrant politics showed up in how they spoke publicly, not just in lyrics.

  2. Studio Lore: Recorded with Rick Rubin, who pushed a stripped, performance-forward approach—less studio gloss, more “caught on tape.”

  3. Scene Ecology: Built locally through L.A.’s Armenian community ties plus the late-’90s alt-metal club circuit, turning a niche scene into a national jump.

    This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

    Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
