Serj Tankian – Elect the Dead

Tomorrow, Tuesday October 23, 2007 a great new cd is being released from Serj Tankian.  For those that don’t know who he is; Serj is the lead singer of System of a Down.  Elect the Dead is his first solo album release and it is sure an amazing piece of work.  Serj did the majority of the composition and played many of the instruments that are heard.  He had some help creating the album but the overall effort is said to be his.  The sound of the music is very much how I would imagine a new System of a Down CD but with some minor differences.   The music has great flow and sounds awesome.  It is a very clean sounding hard rock very similar to how the later System CDs sounded.  Across the cd there is an assortment of softer songs as well as the faster more furious songs.  The songs all contain the political and life messages that we come to expect from Serj.  I put a complete tracklisting below for fun.  If you are a fan of System of a Down I would say this CD is a must buy!  I will be picking it up for sure.
