Notes
- The album was initially going to start with a Middle Eastern-style instrumental track entitled "Hezze", which Malakian stated was one of his favorite songs on the record prior to its release. It was dropped at the last minute because the group wanted to open the album with a heavy song, and because the band felt it was incongruous with the other songs on the album. However, during live performances of "Mr. Jack", Malakian would yell "Yalla hezze" (English translation: "Come on, shake!") after the first chorus. A funk/jazzy guitar instrumental, is then played after.[citation needed]
- "The Charade", originally titled "Charades", a song written and eventually released by Tankian in 2010, was being considered to appear on Mezmerize or Hypnotize, as footage of the band rehearsing it exists on YouTube.[14] The reasons it was not featured on neither Mezmerize nor Hypnotize remain unknown.

Hypnotize —en español: «Hipnotizar»— es el quinto álbum de System of a Down y la segunda parte que completa el disco doble Mezmerize/Hypnotize. Fue lanzado el 22 de noviembre de 2005 por American Recordings, Columbia Records, seis meses después del lanzamiento de Mezmerize.
[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].
