System of a Down

Also does anyone know what happened with Shavo's project with GZA? They said it would be done in January of 2009...

I personally think Serj does a good job outside the band on his own. I actually prefer Elect The Dead over all of my SOAD albums. No lie.

^ I still need to pick that album up. As no one ever mentioned it to me, I thought it was a disappointment, seems it's the complete opposite.

Well if he's good on his own, I guess there's no point of dreaming of the past (I'm guetting a tad poetic I think).

It is great, very different to the SOAD norm. A lot of piano and I think even some strings. More like a classical metal alternative hybrid of sorts. I'd go so far to say some of it is even beautiful.

If they reunite they should go back to their older style. Daron is cool on backup vocals but he gets really annoying fast as the main vocalist. Serj is far better. And bring back the crazy screams and stuff, enough of trying to be super melodic.

I am a big fan of SOAD I have been since I was 12, Their split made me sad, but since 2010 is the year for their reunion as I saw, is a miracle, Disease will probably be their best album ever.

That may be true, But together, if Serj was backing Daron like in Lonely Day it would be awesome also. I mean Achozen, the band Shavo went too it sort of sucks, Scars on Broadway, a great band, but not as good as System of a Down, has broken up, and Serj by himself, he's good, but he'd do better with System of a Down

I like them.... But from what I can tell from my friends its a love or hate thing.

One of my friends describe them as Skitzos with music talent

It would be awesome if all the stuff they did was like their worst song? NO

To people wondering about SOAD reforming without Serj, Serj is busy finishing his new album, he wouldn't think about joining back up until he's done his own tour.

I was thinking of bumping the thread with my personal ranking of the albums, but I couldn't possibly, now that I think about it. Apart from Steal This Album!, they're all too good.
