Vekoma Fan Boy Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Before I get to the real meat of the post, let me just explain who Disturbed is for anyone who doesn't know... Disturbed is a Nu Metal band from Chicago, Illinois. They're line up consists of David Draiman on vocals, Dan Donegan on guitar John Moyer (Previously Steve "Fuzz" Kmak) on bass guitar, and Mike Wengren on drums. They are quite possibly one of the most popular metal bands today. Their most recognizable songs include Down With the Sickness, Stupify, Prayer, Guarded, Just Stop, Stricken (Featured on GH3) and a cover of Genesis' Land of confusion. And just because someone may recognize the band once they hear them, here is their video to Down with the Sickness (Undoubtedly their most famous song) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAmuzdGYGlo Anyway... To the real subject. Disturbed is currently recording their 4th studio album, named Indestructible, which is set for a May release this year. (Geez, I'm sounding like a stinkin' commercial!! ) But, who plans on buying it when it comes out? Just based on their past work, I know I will. Especially since they said that it would be "Ballsier" which to me, hopefully means something more like their first album, but combined with some of the deeper lyrics used in Ten Thousand Fists and Believe. So I, personally, can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterNut17 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 This is the first I've heard of a new album, and now that I've heard it, yes I am very excited! I'm definitely going to buy it when it comes out, or is available on Itunes. But man, Disturbed ROCKS!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrakenKing Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Nu Metal.... Their old material was good, but the latest material, not so much. They do put on a good show though. And Dave (Lead singer) is hot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And also later this year, they are going to go on tour with (YES!!!!!!!!!!) Slipknot, Dragonforce, and Mastodon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upside down Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Disturbed for life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolhandluke Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 ^^Slipkot is worth seeing/listening to for the drumming. Dragonforce, however, can barely play their own stuff live. It'd be like a perennial "Hard" Guitar Hero player trying to play "Through the Fire and Flames" on Expert. They get by, but I wouldn't get too excited about watching them shred on stage... Distirbed, however, is excellent through and through. What I really admired about TEN THOUSAND FISTS was the lack or vulgarity, showing they can still produce quality, edgy (dare I say controversal in some cases?) lyrics without using a bunch of %*@$&! stuff. Shows good writing skill. I guess they can play music OK to... I look forward to this new album, whatever the lyrical content (the lead singer Draiman said it will be more furiosly paced and darker than the previous work...WOW...)

sfotkid Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 No offense, But does anyone think they sound like a wounded monkey when the are singing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vekoma Fan Boy Posted March 8, 2008 Author Share Posted March 8, 2008 ^Well, that is one of David's talents so to speak! But, if you hear him really sing (Like in this vid: ) you can see that he is really a good singer. (Even though I thought that before I heard Darkness...)

coolhandluke Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 ^ And "Down With the Sickness" is an excellent combo of singing and "wounded monkey". I'm a fan of the choppy guitar work personally...and his voice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vekoma Fan Boy Posted March 25, 2008 Author Share Posted March 25, 2008 Good news and bad news.... Bad news, the release date has been bumped back to June 3rd. (I've known this for a while, Ive just been to busy [OKAY FINE LAZY] to say something. ) Good news: TRAILER!!!! Sigh, I'd like to say the trailer makes me less anxious, but really, it just makes it worse. *SIGH* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chmilo24 Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 The song kicks ass, but the video is sad. Can't wait for the CD to come out. Its on my calendar, June 3rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

307 Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 The video is awful. Just AWFUL. I saw Disturbed live once, back in 2001 with Mudvayne and Godhead. I was able to meet Dave Draiman and tell him that his band sucks. That's about the height of enjoyment I've gotten out of them... although their cover of "Land of Confusion" was actually decent. And with that I will exit the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vekoma Fan Boy Posted June 3, 2008 Author Share Posted June 3, 2008 Well, it's June 3rd. That means one thing... The album is out! I just got back from picking up my copy. I love it! I won't say much though. But if you like Disturbed, you will REALLY want to go buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekRx Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 I picked up the new album after work tonight, and although I am only about 1/2 way through it, I think it lives up to my expectations of what Disturbed should put out, much more so than Linkin Park's latest attempt at being Linkin Park. Sounds good, somewhat dark, more between The Sickness and Awaken than Ten Thousand Fists, and definitely powerful. Of course, I also think MLB is the most boring sport on the planet and Hydra is the baseball of the coaster world, so your mileage may vary.
