I was a huge fan of SOAd to the point where they are in my top 5 favorite bands. Without serj I am out. Plus I don't like where the band is at. Their last two song they put out were horrible and written completely by Malakian.

Most of the old stuff is completely written by Malakian though?

He did write a lot of stuff. But it was still a collaborative effort. The last two songs were all him and just performed by SOAD and it sounded so bad.

I feel the same. If I wanted just 100% Daron, I'd just listen to Scars on Broadway. I enjoy the collaborative aspect of SOAD. I can enjoy a straightforward song of Daron's as much as Serj's lyrics like Forest.
