[Album Review] Serj Tankian - Imperfect Harmonies

Those of you who enjoy System of a Down's (SoaD) may be disappointed at the ex-bands lead man and his new style. For others though this album is a great listen. It possess plenty of electric sections that are powerful and at the same time really cool. While the SoaD style is long gone the new style of Serj is not all that bad. Introducing piano's, and other more melodic instruments to the mix Serj Tankian continues to produce good music.

While the genre has drastically changed a definite message can be heard in his work. Serj does an amazing job of placing himself in the music he is creating rather then producing the old "removed" style while listening to the songs you feel that Serj is telling you about something he cares about. I believe that this is an important thing for any musician and that Serj is a master of the art.

In songs such as Deserving and Peace be Revenged Serj places himself in the song and truly makes the song what it is. This is greatly assisted by the great grooves that accompany many of the songs. This album is worth every cent of it's twelve dollars. I highly recommend this album and would rate it as a great album of this year.
