Editorial Reviews :
The Windy City alt-metal provocateurs Disturbed surprised everyone when their debut, The Sickness, sold over 2 million copies. Here, once again, the band's imperious chrome-domed vocalist David Draiman bleats out the band's messages of nonconformity, self-empowerment, and individuality with a passion and ferocity that hasn't been heard since the '60s--though there's little room for peace, love, and understanding in Disturbed's world. Instead, Draiman laces the band's message with equal parts rage, disgust, and menace, all delivered in a thundering voice that alternates from the lyrical to the grizzled. Ozzy Osbourne has called Disturbed the 'future of metal,' and he might be right; they have almost single-handedly plucked the genre out of the aggro dung heap and fueled it with intelligence. The band is just as aggressive here as on their debut, but they've lost some of their dark angst, and as a result have created a melodic, psychically lighter album, despite the fact that the CD kicks off with 'Prayer,' a conversation between Draiman and God, inspired by the singer's grandfather's death.
Buyer Reviews :
I'm quite pleased with this album. When I first bought it, I was expecting not much more than The Sickness Part 2... what I got definitly hold it's own as an impressive release from this windy-city quartet.
There are many of the songs that have the signiture Disturbed feel to them that was established in the band's debut, yet many of the tracks sound very fresh. Songs such as 'Rise', 'Believe', 'Breathe', and Mistress' are an example of some tracks that show that these guys can definity write heavy material, yet remain true to melody and harmony... some of Disturbed's mellowest work, yet, still undeniably well-written.
Tracks such as 'Prayer', 'Intoxication', 'Bound', and 'Rise' have the pummeling brutality (yet well-balanced melody) of the Disturbed we all have come to know and love.
Then as we come to the end of this album we reach the closing track, entitled 'Darkness'. Only one word can describe this song (and it's a word I never thought I would associate with Disturbed)... Beautiful. What a way to end an album.
This album proves that Disturbed is truely the future of modern rock music... though some headbangers may have dismissed them as simply another nu-metal act in a community of hundreds more, they've proved themselves to be much more than that with this, their latest, and best written, offering.
