In a video published on his YouTube channel, Serj Tankian explained the concept of his new solo album: “These are archival recordings, some very old. I wanted to release an album with collaborations that I hadn't released yet, along with covers that I hadn't done yet. The rest, the collages, are pieces that fit into the puzzle with the same tone, the same vibe,” he stated [transcription via Blabbermouth ].
