Hypnotize is the fifth studio album by Armenian-American heavy metal band System of a Down. It was released on November 22, 2005, six months after the release of its companion album Mezmerize, and just one year following the album's completion. Mezmerize and Hypnotize both debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 albums chart, making the band one of the few to achieve this with two albums in the same year.

[ru] Hypnotize

Hypnotize (рус. Гипноз) — пятый студийный альбом американской альтернативной метал группы System of a Down, выпущенный 22 ноября 2005 года на звукозаписывающем лейбле Columbia Records. Продюсированием альбома занимались Рик Рубин и Дарон Малакян. Hypnotize является второй и завершающей частью концептуальной дилогии Mezmerize / Hypnotize. Так же, как и на предыдущем альбоме, гитарист группы Дарон Малакян исполняет не меньше вокальных партий, чем основной вокалист группы Серж Танкян. Hypnotize стал последней студийной работой System of the Down до их четырёхлетнего перерыва с августа 2006 года по ноябрь 2010 года. Художественное оформление обложки, как и предыдущего альбома, разрабатывал отец Дарона — американский художник армянского происхождения Вартан Малакян. Журнал Entertainment Weekly описал альбом следующими словами: «Группа выставляет напоказ ранее „недоиспользуемую“ чувствительную сторону, компенсируя своей фирменной маркировкой рифологии со вспышками нежной лиричности»[8].
