One good song, the rest..terrible
I think he would have been better off staying with System of a down! I looove that band and now they broke up and made their own albums. Both Serj and Scars on Broadway are pretty terrible albums. Download one or two good songs, don't buy the whole album.

One of the best cds in my collection
When I heard that he was going solo, I knew in my heart and head that his cd was going to be amazing, and every song was going to be mind blowing. Was I right? HELL YEAH I WAS!!!! This cd is out of this world kickass good. I am shocked that there are actually low reviews on this cd, but everyone has their own opinion I guess. But this is mine, and this cd is worth buying and you will not regret it one bit. It sounds like system of down, only it is different, and I dont know how to explain it. It is very political and just mind blowing. I love this cd so much, and this will always be a cd I will adore. BUY IT:D If you are a fan of system of a down, then there is no reason why you shouldnt have this cd.

No waaaaaaay....
For me, this album is entirely unbearable to listen to. Serj's vocals just sound completely retarted, and the rest of the music behind it doesn't display much talent. But whatever floats your boat, I guess...

"Love is not about the prophet nor the riches in your dreams." Without a doubt, the best album of 2007.
"Nelith is a prophet, from the prophet came the king, from the king came the prophet, from the prophet came the swing, from the swing came creation, from creation came love, you don't know what this life is all about!"
-Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition
As a metal fan, this album is refreshing. I listen to bands like System of a Down (Serj's former band), Iron Maiden, old school Metallica, Children of Bodom, Coheed and Cambria, The Mars Volta. THis album is amazing, and my favorite album of 2007. It's #3 on my favorite albums, and this may be the "Powerslave" of the 2000's.
On this album, Serj takes a direction similar to his SOAD stuff, except this time, in a personal way. "Empty Walls" is about his family dying in the Lebanon riots. "Money" is very reminiscent of Chop Suey- one of those songs that's fast in the chorus and slow in the verse. You can feel the emotion in these songs off the album. "Saving Us" is a song with lots of emotion, great music and lyrics too. "Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition" is a wierd, but great track nonetheless. And of course, the best song, "Beethoven's C***". A duet between Serj and a backup singer, with great music and lyrics.
Overall, this is an amazing album, and worth it if you like System of a Down. Yeah, SOAD is one thing, but Serj by himself is another. Be sure to buy this album!
