Title: Classic SOAD gets freaky
Review: SOAD return with the same "metal with an offbeat twist" sound you expect. The biggest difference is that Darren, the guitarist had taken a much more prominent role in singing and lyrics on this album. Serj is an awesome, original singer in his own right, but this evolves the band into a newer realm - something that most bands can't pull off, but is necessary to survive more than a few albums. I have all the SOAD albums and have been listening to them since before their first radio single. The only problem is that a few songs are so repetetive you are glad they're only a couple minutes long. The interludes and instramentals in most songs are great, and the switch between political statements and songs about loving your "****" are a crazy, entertaining combo. However, I'd like to see less repetition that reminds me of bad rap sometimes. Overall, SOAD rules!!!
