It’s got stuff that’s really heavy, heavy and there’s a funny aspect and then there’s a song about my son.
“It kind of runs the gauntlet on diversity of thematic expression: political, non-political,” Serj continues. “I guess that’s always been me, all over the place. I think I’m gonna call it Elasticity just because I wanted to do it with System and it didn’t happen.
“For me, it’s not Toxicity but it is Toxicity (laughs). That’s what I’m thinking of calling it. I haven’t finalized it, but that’s what I’m thinking of calling it. We’ll probably put it out later this year.”
