I would think that are a few SOAD fans here. If not listen to Malakian and Dolomayan's latest project:

It's only one song we've heard so far which seems to be the most 'straightforward'
There's nothing unique about this song, but its got some good guitar riffs and intense Daron lyrics as always
Waiting to hear more before I pass final judgement

Superb album!
Recently I've been on an all things
SOAD
binge, listening to all their albums and
Serj
's solo effort, so when I came across this album the other day, I was happy if but a bit skeptical. It really is good though, you still get the
System
sound on a lot of songs but many are just general rock tunes with some great hooks, the three that stand out like this would be;
Serious
,
Funny
and
What they Say
, really good like, worth checking out.
They got 3 and a half stars in
Rolling Stone
, admittedly they are fairly clueless there.
When you've made your name and fortune on fierce weirdness, the most drastic thing you can do is flaunt some restraint. In System of a Down, singer-guitarist Daron Malakian's bright yelp was already the more normal voice next to Serj Tankian's operatic harangue. But as Scars on Broadway, with System drummer John Dolmayan, Malakian shaves System's punk-dervish and metallic-vengeance extremes into straight-on rock glazed with New Wave keyboards and impish-angel harmonies. It is a cleverly barbed normality. "Funny" is a catchy death wish that somehow evokes Roy Orbison's "Oh, Pretty Woman" amid burbling Eighties synthesizer. "Insane" is steady, rolling darkness with a Who-ish splash of power chords at the end of each verse. There is little hope or redemption in Malakian's writing ? "Chemicals" is a portrait of vicious co-dependency ? and his rage, irony and expletives sometimes overwhelm the music's simplified sparkle and drive. That doesn't happen in the bullet rock, hairpin turns and minimal chant of "Cute Machines." The song is basically nonsense ? and a fine, uncomplicated high.

For some reason I hold a grudge against Malakian, I know that it is unfounded, but I can't help it. The dude can write some music, but I think others would be best singing.
