About Product Details In this strikingly illustrated book of original poetry, System of a Down fans gain an intimate glimpse into the soul of the band's frontman, Serj Tankian. Dey Street Books On Sale: Dreaming the Beatles by Rob Sheffield. Bare Bones by Bobby Bones. Set the Boy Free by Johnny Marr. Substance by Peter Hook. Altamont by Joel Selvin. On Bowie by Rob Sheffield. Year Year I do feel I'm getting a little carried away with my criticism; a lot of work has obviously gone into Tankian's work Anyway, the book has generally good ratings on this and other book reviews sites, perhaps from fans of Tankian's band, System of a Down, or perhaps he's just not my cup of tea and there's a quality to his work I'm missing.

Bought on a whim, a roll of the dice that was partially successful, partially a disappointment.

Mar 23, Andrea Bartlett rated it it was amazing. I really connected with much of what was being said here. Again, it was interesting to see different lyrics from Serj's songs contained within the poems. Amazing intro on the first couple pages; also Deaf Nation, Countless Manipulations, Vermillion, The messenger speaks through Chaos, and The Nerves of Them were just a few of my favorites here.

A dramatic difference and improvement from Cool Gardens, however I did notice "The Void" was a excellent artwork throughout and great, insightful poetry. A dramatic difference and improvement from Cool Gardens, however I did notice "The Void" was also included in this collection, and is also in Cool Gardens. I am curious to the reasoning behind including this. Apr 18, Michael rated it really liked it Recommends it for: This book had both amazing poems and artwork which made it worth reading for me. The poetry was quite similar to 'Cool Gardens' and I felt the same way about them. Some of the poems were not very interesting and I found them quite mediocre.

However there were many which made this book enjoyable.

This book even showed the inspiration to some of Serj's songs from as far back as System of a Dow This book had both amazing poems and artwork which made it worth reading for me. This book even showed the inspiration to some of Serj's songs from as far back as System of a Down. One of his poems talked about the generation of bottled water and that line is in the song 'Dreaming'.

Aug 06, Zac rated it it was ok. Serj is a great singer, musician, activist, etc. He tries too hard with alliteration and assonance that would work fat better as slam poetry.

May 19, Eze Vannucchi rated it it was ok Shelves: It's sad to say but even though this book helps me to fully comprehend some of his lyrics and the artwork is very cool, the first one Cool Gardens was way better. At some point son words or phrases feel quite forced or don't lead anywhere.
