Review by Jay Phoenix


What can we all say about Mr. Serj Tankian, the leader, frontman, the mastermind behind System of a Down. He has brought us the majority of society, the world, and the corruption we have lived in for generations into one entity. The truth behind his eyes into great hit singles and favorite themes. After over a decade, Serj Tankian brings us a new vision with his solo debut "Elect The Dead."

I have managed to witness the reasons why he does more than just sing and perform for fans but he also makes us, as a society, understand whats really going on through "Empty Walls", "The Unthinking Majority", "Sky Is Over", "Baby", "Money", "Feed Us", "Lie, Lie, Lie" and many more groovy, hard hitting masterpieces. Serj Tankian takes us on a journey of a lifetime. Along with being an activist, he co-founded "Axis Of Justice" with Tom Morello.

"Elect The Dead" has three packages. The original version has 12 tracks, the "iTunes Special Edition" package comes with the original 12 and also includes "Falling Stars", music video of "Lie, Lie, Lie" (only if pre-ordered), "Blue" and "The Reverend King.", and the third package is the "Deluxe Edition", which consists of the original 12 plus "Falling Stars", "Blue" and acoustic versions of "Empty Walls and "Feed Us."

My view of Serj Tankian is this: a magnificent, energetic, honest, open-minded, individual on a mission. Through his talents he shows the world that the problem is right in front of us and when people disagrees it makes him that muchstronger. He makes us learn from our mistakes.

If Serj Tankian decides to do another solo album and another System Of A Down record, I would love to hear them. "Elect The Dead" makes another point to the society just like the previous System Of A Down record records. I have always admired Serj Tankian's ability and determination. I salute him for all that he has done over the years.
