Serj Tankian – Elect The Dead

Serj Tankian – Elect The Dead

This has got to be one of the worst albums I’ve heard in a long time. I’ve NEVER deleted an album the second after I’m done listening to it, but I definitely do so with this one. I even still have Earshot – Letting Go even though I don’t listen to it. I don’t know how this album got 4 1/2 stars out of 5 on iTunes–absolutely horrible.

For some reason, I felt like checking out Serj’s solo album (even though its been out for a while) after listening to a few System of a Down songs. I’m a metal head, with a little bit of industrial, techno, and alternative mixed in but my roots have always been metal (of the Metallica, Pantera, BLS, Diecast, Acid Bath, and Rapture variety). So naturally, I’ve heard quite a bit of SOAD and happen to like a good bit of their music. Some of it is a little too ‘wacky’ for me, but I figured maybe there’d be a few pretty kickass songs on Serj’s album. I couldn’t have been more wrong. So wrong, that I feel like blogging about my blunder.

So I’m spreading the word. If you love metal, and like your ears (because if you’re a metal head, you _can’t_ LOVE your ears), do NOT download this album.
