Pretty sweet CD. Just as good as SOAD stuff, IMO.

One thing I don't like about Empty Walls is how much weaker Serj's voice sounds with out Daron behind him. I've always liked their harmonies.
System of a Down is that rare rock band that sells millions of records and is praised by critics. For good reason.
As for Serj's vocals in Empty Walls, I think they're as strong as ever, though Daron's backup vocals sure do add something to the band's sound...
Critics don't know about rock/heavy music.
Serj is an overrated vocalist. His singing ranges from mediocre to annoying as . If I wanted to hear a lot of out-of-tune moaning I could just as easily watch a ty garage band on youtube.
Wow that's pretty brutal. What's the name of your band?
From what I have heard, this cd is pretty decent. I really like empty walls. I do like me some SOAD from time to time. This is a watered down version. Pretty much like the way A Perfect Circle was to Tool.
Ive always thought system of a down sucked....and i think this is prett much too...
i cant stand that operatic rock voice ...reminds me of when butthead (beavis and butthead) tries to sing...
TRUE, BUT THE OTHERS ARE FIRST GENERATION, SO I'D SAY WHAT DAN HAD TO SAY WAS STILL EXTREMELY RELEVANT. I THINK THAT ALOT OF WHAT SERJ SAYS IS IGNORANT . PLUS, DON'T THEY WORSHIP THE DEVIL?
Empty walls is pretty tight...but I still like SOAD better. Daron writes most of the music anyways and his vocals are pretty nice as well. They both keep themselves in line that's what's good about the band.
No one said not to.How dare they criticize our government...
But to look down on us, and do the typical "stupid americans" bull , yeah thats what I hate.
I actually agree with Tpark here.
I really cant stand this angsty polical rock that, for me, started with Rage against the machine. of course it has been around forever, but in my generation it was rage... I really liked Rage's sound, i think they are talented as , and their guitarist is amazing, but....please spare me the political message ...i just dont get into the whole music with a cause thing...use your money and fame to promote your cause, but stop making all of your songs so politically charged...it just comes across as fake to me...like you are trying to be some intellectual, when all we want is a kick ass rocker!
U2 does that aspect of rock correctly...as do the beastie boys...
but...even with out the over blown so called righteous messages he is trying to portray...the music is just poop....
I fully expect to see this on the album cover.
I think it's hilarious how these pop-rock groups like SOAD, Green Day, etc think it's groundbreaking making an album criticizing the government. If anything, the government's become an easy target for these MTV bands whose audience is primarily teenage morons that don't know any better. I might be forgiving if the music was somewhat decent, but, when you're talking about a band as terrible as SOAD, that's hardly the case.
Well put![]()
I've got a simple message for those that don't like a type of music:
Dont. Listen. To. It.
Let the people who enjoy it enjoy it, and go off and listen to whatever the you want. I can't stand today's hip hop but I also don't go into threads touting hip hop music just to on the people that do.
