DISTURBED
Indestructible

fff

The Internet has not been kind to the band Disturbed. Reviews are split
between fan boys and metal purists. Some claim Disturbed is not metal at all
and is too mainstream. While the fans drool over the “guitar solos” and the
driving “beat”.

First off Disturbed is impossible to classify for many reasons. They aren’t hard
enough to be metal that’s for sure. They sound heavy but they don’t personify
it like other metal bands. 3 Inches of Blood is a great example. They are
absolutely insane about what they do and are almost one dimensional in their
view on metal (in a good way). They eat, sleep, breath, and worship metal.
Disturbed is just kind of between the lines of all classification. They are part
hard rock, part metal (slightly), part pop, and slightly overproduced. In fact a
little too produced.

10,000 Fists was a great example of Disturbed. They fused all of their
influences to the best of their abilities and really produced a solid album. What
was really bothersome about the album was its pop aspect. The ear friendly
riffs and lack luster guitar solos presented gave mixed signals. They present it
as this metal icon and it delivers a rather weak sound. Strip away the guitar
tone and they sound like Foreigner! This album was a step down and
regretfully Indestructible is yet another step downward. A very large,
expensive step ($15.99)

Indestructible shows how ineffective and bland disturbed can be. Every track
sounds the same and nothing sticks out as a real keeper. The lyrics,
musicianship, and vocals all sound atrocious. Singer David Draiman can’t make
up his mind weather to sing his heart out or growl the lyrics. This album shows
his attempts at vocal growth (futile as they may be).

The lyrics are a whole different story.

“Devon
No longer living
Who had been rendered unwhole.
As a little child,
she was taken
and then forsaken
you will remember it all
Let it blow your mind again”

…exactly. Only Disturbed could rhyme “F***ing up my life” with “Sucking up my
life”. There is no saving this album.

The only thing left to point out is the obvious lack of talent from guitarist Dan
Donegan. These bizarre guitar “solos” are just laughable. I won’t waste my
time naming the better musicians.

All in all I think they need to make drastic changes to save their careers,
because if another album this bad comes out their image will be significantly
unsalvageable. (Unless of course they go more mainstream, where people don’
t know the difference between Pink Floyd and Green Day)
