Nearly a decade after the release of their groundbreaking debut, The Sickness, Disturbed have become one of the most respected bands in the hard-rock universe thanks not only to pummeling riffs and jackhammer beats but passionate insights into our troubled times. Three platinum-plus albums—Believe and Ten Thousand Fists charted #1—have led to Indestructible, the group’s darkest, angriest outing yet.

Summary: Redemption
Comment: I've been a disterbed fan from their first cd. Prayer and stricken were good from their other cds, but the rest was nothing special. This new CD Has elevated Disterbed to their music potential. It seems they found a nitch that they should have been in for a long time.
This is one to get.

Summary: So this is what the lowest common denominator sounds like!
Comment: I guess one should expect this from a mass of listeners who only know of 'metal' though this new (read 10 years) trend called 'nu-metal'. Ugh. Lyrically, vocally, even instrumentally these guys bring nothing, nothing nu (see what I did there?) to the table. There is such a bevy of talent available amongst the varied and wide number of genres out there, why elevate such a mediocre act? Look to bands like Porcupine Tree (although, admittedly, their last album was a tad derivative), RPWL, Symphony X, Amorphis, Amaseffer, Demians, Boom Boom Satellites, etc. for bands in which talent actually counts for something. Disturbed are just a small example of why populist music is becoming so boring, and dare I say it, undisturbed. We need some really radical changes. No more of this Hollywood-script-meeting-lets-gut-the-balls-off-this-for-the-mindless-masses music.

Oh well, back to the drawing board.

Summary: Guitar work is soo tight and getting better and better, but other than that, too much the same!
Comment: I love Disturbed and love their live shows, but their new album is not what I thought it was going to be, especially after such a powerful album as "10,000 Fists". There is really nothing wrong with it but its just a little lackluster at times! David Draiman didn't offer much exciting vocal melodies or even screams as he usually does, but he still sounds good just too much the same! Mike Wengren, was decent in this album but he didnt top what he did in the past albums. Dan Donegan was the highlight of the album with some great guitar work. His guitar solos are really cool over these songs which is a newly added attribute with Disturbed. They really started the guitar solo thing from their last album, but this album has them all over the place, which is a great change for the band. I can't be too upset becuase I would probably be upset if they were to change too much but just a little more of experimentation with their music wouldn't hurt. At least they are on the right path with adding guitar solos. Lets hope they keep changing and come out with something great like "Believe" and "10,000 Fists".

Summary: An okay cd of Disturbed
Comment: I liked it, is not the best one of course but i don't think its a bad one either. If you liked Disturbed all the way through here you will like this cd, if you are a new fan get it too.
i know some people didnt like it, but this always happens, nothing will be like the first material, the first albums of a metal-rock band are usually the best ones, its so hard for bands to keep the quality, they have to go with the market too, if what's selling is something a bit different then they gotta change too, if they dont sell then no more music at all.

Summary: 10,000 Reasons Not to Buy This Album
Comment: 10,000 Fists was a far more coherent and musically exciting album. This album is for the most part flat as a female Olympic gymnast. For me, their saving grace are tracks 1, 2, 8 and 11. To me, listening to them talk about putting down the "nastiest" stuff they ever had was a bunch of promotional talk. The riffs just aren't as powerful as their previous efforts. It's almost like they're trying too hard. The flow in some songs isn't there and the lyrics don't sound as pissed off. I think "Divide" is the most powerful lyrically, now that sounds like someone beating you with a tire iron in the jimmy! Not a bad album, but it will largely be forgotten once the newness wears off.
