I have been always very critical of the popular music business or now, organisation. This music can be self-defeating especially for Serj Tankian. I mean in A.D.D. From Steal This Album! he talks about an ego-tistical war on some basis but yet he plasters his ugly mug all over the cover to this album! Serj Tankian has already established himself as an outspoken critic of politics and government – even Daron Malakin of Scars On Broadway as an activist through music but this- I haven't listened to this album and I don't want to; my giflriend might but why bother- This is just, vacant. I can't listen to this without wanting to go out there and kill someone. By the way this Serj Tankian has no credibility anymore and neither do the rest of his band of clowns. He is making a sizeable amount of money off people trying to live private lives by sensationalising and blowing way out of proportion things that happen of which are just part of life and shouldn't be taken seriously quite frankly.
Mezmerise and Hypnotise are both good albums, a bit mellower especially the song Lonely Day but many other people wouldn't recommend those albums because of their sounds, oh well.
