 Rating:  - It's "Steal this album, part 2"It's rare that I hear an album and am blown away by it on the first listening, but that's what happened with 'Scars on Broadway'. Musically, it's brilliant. Take all the most tuneful, melodious, catchy output of 'System of a Down', strip off Serj Tankian's voice, and you are left with Scars on Broadway. I haven't listened to anything else for 2 weeks, and there's not a single duff track on here, it's all excellent. So why 4 stars? It's the lyrics. Stripped of Serj Tankian's lyrics, we are often left with lyrics which come very much from the 'spoon and moon and june' school of songwriting. On top of the rhyming, which is incessant in every song, the lyrics in several songs seem a bit lacking in meaning. Then again, ... Read More: Rating: - Scars On Broadway'Scars on Broadway' is the excellent album from Daron Malakian and John Dolmayan, which they've recorded while SOAD are on hiatus. Although it is a shame to compare this to SOAD, it is almost inevitable that this will occur. This album has some great tracks that show a flavour of SOAD's previous work, but with Daron and Johns own particular influence on things. It almost has the feeling of a SOAD album, but without the politics or quirky vocals that Serj brings to that group. This is in no way a bad thing as this album has an brilliant feel and sound and with a completely fun feel the whole way through. Album opener 'Serious' is a particular favourite of mine and 'Chemicals' has the habit of sticking in my head for hours after hearing it. ... Read More: Rating: - While you suck on my....We all thought it.. Daren had all the best tunes, Serj the voice, but then Serj surprised us with a great album. So, with anticipation we waited for Daren and his hand. And what a delightful set of songs he has made and produced. It is clear now that it is he who possesses the natural song writing skills; Serj's songs seem more forced somehow (it is impossible not to compare the two). Scars are a great band with a great album. It is almost possible that it could be 5 stars, but to give the full 5 would be saying this is perfect... and there are very few albums of perfection. The cons: I am unsure of the longevity of these tunes, it is possible that, like mesmerize/hypnotize, they are addictive at first but without the long term ... Read More: Rating: - A very decent effortSo Daron Malakian is the Renaissance Man! He can sing, play guitar, bass, keyboards, melotron, etc. Presumably not all at the same time, so some nice employment for session guys when they go on tour. Serj moves to new Zealand so Daron goes it alone. Th results are really much better than I had feared. Daron has a more than passable voice, although lacking the sheer power of Serj's. Musically he is highly capable, an excellent technical player and a quality songwriter. Overall a quality effort with some interesting and eccentric lyrical diversions. Personally I think Stoner Hate is the best song on the album. Overall it's very good but not brilliant. A solid effort full of eclectic whimsy but lacking any really killer ... Read More: Rating:  - Metal album of the year so far!!!Ok to be honest with you I wasn't expecting much from this album but within a few days it has become permanently glued into my CD player at home and in the car. Jesus aren't side-projects supposed to be self-indulgent rubbish with albums filled with sub-standard tracks knocked out in a band members spare time? Not so here. AWESOME is THE word to describe this album. For a start if you're already a System Of A Down fan you will love it. The songs are equally as impressive as on Toxicity (which is my favourite SOAD album). From the very first second this album grips you and within a couple of listens the songs lock into your brain. And what songs!!!! 'Serious' the first track kicks things off in fine up-tempo metal style all crunching ... Read More: |
