    I have been a System fan for a long time and obviously a solo project from Serj is interesting to me but I had it ordered on Amazon and recently cancelled my order. I figure I will D/L it first to see if it is worth buying. Mainly because I am broke at the moment. $10 isn't much when I really think about supporting one of my favorite bands.

    I´m pretty sure that i´m gonna buy it...
    And i have heard and read some reviews that says that sound like SOAD...

    I don´t care... but i would like that SOAd stars Touring again and that they finally play in Mexico City...

    used to be a huge fan of system... im pretty tired of their sound to be honest

    and judging by the single.. no major evolution in that sound is happening on this solo project whatsoever..

    Yeah i agree i've heard 5 or 6 of the songs, sounds a little like SOAD, but cool in it's own way:)

    it's really good, although i'm a pretty big system fan... it's a quirkier system record really

    I am seeing him open for the FooFighters in the UK next month....should be cool!

    I'm also gonna pick up this album. I also hope that SOAD's indefinite hiatus doesn't last too long.

    This might not be good news BUT:
    In an interview a few months ago the SOAD guys said they would be going on an extended break. It will be a year or two until they get back together. It sucks but Tankians solo effort is a great record and it will be nice to catch him in concert. Plus the other side projects have been getting positives mentions so they are something to look foward to.

    I didn't know he was doing a solo album but I love him. (I'm completely out of touch with music these days). I'll look into it. Thanks!

    Has this leaked yet? I wanna hear it before I buy it.

    Has this leaked yet? I wanna hear it before I buy it. So far it sounds like SOAD, but w/o the crazy changes, and randomness.

    Any news on a Malakian solo album. I would be much more interested in that.
  • kenshuntkenshunt Posts: 2,863
    Yes it has leaked, but you can also buy it Tues.Oct.23 :)

    Indeed, but anytime I can give a good artist a first week sales boost, I try to do it. And anybody else can feel free to use that reason as justification for dling it early.

    I hope his duet with Corky Bucheck makes the album!
  • kenshuntkenshunt Posts: 2,863

    I have it and I am currently listening to it. Definitely for the fans only! Not too many surprises.. Just glad he is still alive and kicking!
  • Oh, JimmyOh, Jimmy Posts: 957
    First listen..........sounds like I thought it would SOAD without an imagination.
  • kenshuntkenshunt Posts: 2,863
    I think it's a good album, not great, but i'll listen to it.

    Just listening to it on his site...sounds good to me, I've always liked SOAD. I think these songs have some great lyrics and discuss some pretty intriguing issues...especially The Unthinking Majority
    I'm trying to drink away the part of the day I cannot sleep away...

    Serj's voice is wicked, but that's my opinion.

    Well, it doesnt really grab me. There is a good string of songs from Honking Antelope and the next couple ones. But dont think it will stay in my focus for very long. OK, and a lot like expected.

    Peace

    I don't know why but I really liked this album. It is SOAD and not at the same time.

    Beethoven's cunt and sky is over are my favorites. Of course empty walls is a nice opener.
