    now that it has leaked what do you guys think of it?

    I think its a GREAT CD. but i still like SOAD better, cause you CAN tell a difference..plus Serj+Daron=magic

    Serj=good but not magic

    favorite songs:
    Empty walls
    Saving us
    The unthinking majority
    Sky is over
    Money

    It's better than I thought it'd be but it's not anywhere near as good as System of a Down. I'd give it a 6/10.

    Better than Hypnotize. Have to listen some more before deciding on favourites.

    I honestly don't like it at all. The only song that's tollerable for me is ''Sky Is Over'' and that's it. I never was a huge System fan anyways, but still. I'm glad he is making the type of music he wants and can be successful, but I just flat out don't like the album. It kinda sucks because I was hoping it would be good.

    While it's an amazing album, I really think it lacks the dynamics and experimentation of System of a Down's albums. You can really tell Daron is missing. While it's kind of a more eastern rock sound throughout the album, he doesn't really move around much. There's the piano there.. and then he plucks some strings.. and then there are the power chords.

    Okay.

    Then it's throughout the entire album. And it sounds like he brings back parts of The Unthinking Majority in nearly every song, and that's slightly annoying for me, because I thought The Unthinking Majority was the worst song on the album.

    I'd say 7/10. I love Serj so much. He's one of my idols, but I think he could have done a better job. It's amazing.. but not fucking amazing.

    I say it's about on par with Mesmerize/Hypnotize, which I felt were far weaker than SOAD's previous work.

    Love the album, reminds me of Toxicity-era System, before they decided letting Darron sing was a good idea.:shifty:


    But this CD is better than Hypnotize and Memorize. :D

    Unfortunately I haven't been able to listen to it yet but i am eagerly awaiting a chance to get to the record store, esspecially now that i've realised the torrent site i used gave viruses and viruses + low amount of disk space = shit.

    Anyone else think the acoustic version of Feed Us is much better than the album version?:lol:

    Maybe he should've let the album start with amplified instruments (Empty Walls/Unthinking Majority) and gradually let it go acoustic (Elect the Dead/acoustic versions of some other songe i.e. Feed Us).

    :whistling
