Released in 2001, this album is pure teenage nostalgia for me and for many of my fellow millennials who had an inclination for the heavier & louder music. Every single track is gorgeous and iconic thanks to Serj Tankian's incredible vocals, Daron Malakian's manic guitar riffs, Shavo Odadjian's sinister vibes, and John Dolmayan's perpetual beast-mode drum playing.
It was hard to pick ONE album but it got a whole lot easier once I realized that NONE are really radio-friendly except for Toxicity (or else I'll be spending the entire time on-edge trying to censor it per FCC regulations).
Tune in to Album of the Week this Wednesday, April 18th from 5-6PM to hear this album in its glorious entirety.
The brains and the brawn behind this group was Raul Cita, composer and arranger-pianist accompianist. He recently passed in his mid 80's , but willie is still chirpin' in NYC with his latest version of the Harptones. Raul composed Memories of you!.

Attending UC Davis as a Junior Communication major. Siler says one of his favorite pastimes outside of basketball is playing ‘Clue’ the board game, the question is what music is he listening to while practicing Bball, motivation for the game or playing a board game.
