Absolutely awesome, the spiritual nature of every song brings the listener to peace and gives them a sense of happiness. Awesome rock album. Awesome feeling.

Surprisingly different from SOAD methodic berserk style : guitars and rythms feel softer and even smooth. Voices are awesome, melodies too. Funny/exotic weird intruments here and there. Serj's music's definitely inspired and builds a very interesting world. If you look for most brutal SOAD song types, forget it. If you seek for creative, genuine and subtle music, go for it!
Ben L. gave it a10:
This album is fabulous. I got started on SOAD back when they released SUGAR and I've been hooked on Serj's voice and his crazy sound ever since. This album allowed him to take over, and it's freaking great! Best album I have bought in years. Not very often can you put in a cd, start at track 1, and listen to the whole damn thing and jam out the whole damn time! Awesome album!

Great, album. Refreshing twist from SOAD.
Tim T. gave it a2:
I'm sorry, really really sorry and sad about this absolutely empty album that Serj has thrown together... together with the deftones, System of a down have been breaking the rules of metal and reinventing it with every new release. But this is utter boredom he just whines and bickers and we are left with absolutely no music to speak of. his songs bounce around and dont land together... just wailing, he clearly needs his lead guitarist to make the music that SOAD have been giving us all this time...
James A. gave it a5:
This album sounds like Mezmerize or Hypnotize minus the spontaneity and aggression of System of a Down. So all that is left is a bunch of annoying tunes with the same lyrical themes as you have come to expect from Mr. Tankian. Disappionting.
