As much as I love SOAD (Lebanon represent), Serj's individual album is too much Serj. SoaD was great because each member had something to contribute and the band was balanced. Sure Serj's album has some good tracks and is pretty well done, having composed most of it himself, but honestly his voice gets annoying at times. I like Sky is Over more than Lie Lie Lie, but this is all just my opinion.
