That System of a Down had become one of metal's most popular, creative, and ambitious acts by 2007 was no secret, and was underscored by the appearance of ELECT THE DEAD, the solo debut by System lead singer and lyricist Serj Tankian. Like his music with System of a Down, Tankian's solo work is highly progressive, blending metal, industrial, acoustic passages, and jazz and classical flourishes in one bone-crushing, carnivalesque mindwarp.
Opener "Empty Walls" crosses crunching metal with the drama of an operatic aria (vintage Queen is a clear touchstone for Tankian), while "Sky Is Over" rides a dirgey, yet catchy chorus, and "The Unthinking Majority" continues Tankian's relentless political and social critique. Tankian performed nearly all the instrumental and vocal tracks himself making this complex and unclassifiable labor of love all the more impressive.
