    Nice record, but lacks originality.

    Pretty mediocre. A few good songs but the rest is pretty average stuff. Take the good songs from this CD, add them to the good songs from the Serj CD, put them onto one CD and pretend it's another SOAD B-Side album.

    Fans of System's earlier work will be used to their unique brand of lyricism by now and will be more impressed with the band's ability to make a solid assortment of songs in a toned-down genre. Even with half the members.

    Malakian and SOAD drummer John Dolmayan have indeed brought something new for their fans to love--and perhaps even for non-fans as well, given the more direct and accessible nature of Scars' music.

    The polemics are occasionally clumsy, but the band's gloriously over-the-top heaviosity still makes this a fine addition to the SOAD canon. [8 Aug 2008, p.68]
