    Pretty disappointing. I wasn't expecting another SOAD record, but this was a bit too 'alt' rock' for my likings.

    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]
