There is a moment on Serj Tankian’s new release, Harakiri, where you think, finally this is what I know he was trying to get across in the first few songs, and then just as fleetingly the moment is lost. Somewhere in between the tracks on the album it becomes sort of messy combination, a mish-mash of towering ideas that obviously started out with such creative, noble and honest intentions but may leave some fans feeling a little cold, not just with overwhelming subject matter but with the great man himself.
