hey - what do you think about his solo album "elect the dead" ?

discuss!!

I think it's a good one - even fantastic considering he's done everything by himself. There are some strong tunes on it for sure.

However, I do think System's arrangements were more powerful and elaborate though! But that's just the way it should be - let's hope he goes go back to system after this!

I expected more from my voice and face look a like .I tough that he would go a bit more far a way from SOAD,and do some thing a bit different.Songs are not bad,but as Kris sad,SOAD sounds better.:)IMO

bleh.. I saw him live and I didn't like it. First of all, his voice sounds horrible when he tries to sing that extremely high pitched voice. Secondly the songs sound like a band of 13 year-olds trying to make SOAD songs. It sounds just like SOAD, only it's much worse.

I didn't really like SOAD that much either, but this is just plain horrible.

I think Serj has done pretty well for himself, especially considering he plays almost all the instruments. And when it comes to SOAD i think he most of the say when it came to writing the songs because once the guitarist, daron i think his name is, starting contributing more it kinda went downhill. i didn't like hearing him sing songs by himself. it kinda reminds me of how scrappy doo ruined scooby doo back in the day, lol.
