I'm not the biggest fan of this guy, but he's unique enough. Not a bad song.

I dig SOAD and his solo stuff. This isn't his best work, but it's solid.

Too much focus leads to tunnel vision
Too much faith leads to religion
Too much knowledge leads to confusion
Too many guitar lessons lead to jazz-fusion

I love the SOAD stuff leading up to Toxicity. In fact, the self-titled is one of my all time favorite records. I can't get into anything else he's done.

I'm liking this a lot better than his last solo album (not Elect the Dead) which was really oddball for Serj. I'd like to see what else is on this new album as Elect the Dead had some really out-there interesting songs and some cool vocal stuff going on.

I love Serj, dude is an awesome vocalist. Born of Osiris tried to cover Science and it just sounds horrible.

Serj went deep into the Ministry well for that one. Couldn't quite get into it. I still like his SOAD work best.

Heh, I was thinking it reminded me of Ministry as well, with a bit of Faith No More spice.
