The music is widescreen / Heavy Rock of the best variety. Where they always have a variation in stock. Be it the funky guitar in "Enemy", Alice In Chains - echoes in "Cute Machines", there is a Nine Inch Nails-style broadside at "Chemicals" or even a folk guitar and a little psychobilly. All this would sound any with any other band, but Malakian transformed these influences into independent, exciting music.
And that is a lot more exciting than last SOD and any supporters of the "old" band definitely like.
