Poignant and insightful commentary on America at the time with issues that unfortunately still ring true in 2025 delivered in a way somewhere between the ramblings of a maniac and the vocal mastery of an opera singer. Serj truly is a master of his voice and in the upper echelons of vocalists. The guitar, bass, and drum work absolutely keeps up with the level he sets. If you think you don't like Nu Metal, give this an album a listen and see what it can be with people with a message and a vision at the helm.
