''Toxicity'' has sold over 12 million copies worldwide and is their only multi-platinum in the United States. ==Critical reception== On review aggregator website Metacritic, ''Toxicity'' attained a score of 73 out of 100, based on reviews from nine critics, which indicates "generally favourable reviews".〔 Don Kaye of Blabbermouth.net gave the album ten out of ten, one of only 21 albums to achieve a perfect rating from the site.〔 Keith Harris of ''Rolling Stone'' gave the album 3.5 stars out of 5 and wrote, "Both manic and schizoid, Tankian veers easily from sing-rap rhythm to Korn-ish hysterics to demonic baritone growl to doomily ruminative... the music insists on forward motion without trapping itself in a thrashy lock-step rut".〔 ''Q'' gave the album 4 stars out of 5 and wrote that the album "matches Slipknot for manic intensity while employing a freeform approach to songcraft which invites comparison to the lunatic-fringe rock of the '60s".〔 Tom Sinclair of ''Entertainment Weekly'' gave the album a B– and wrote: "Strange and engaging... It all adds up to bizarro type of metal that has a warped majesty and strength".〔 Joe Gross of ''Spin'' wrote that the band "have an undeniable nerd-prog charm". However, not all reviews were favorable. ''Uncut'' wrote, "''Toxicity'' is virtually unlistenable: thrash metal splintered into a million pieces by unnecessary time changes, topped off with excruciatingly theatrical vocals."〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Toxicity (album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
