album review
Disturbed's fourth full-length offering announces its arrival with an air-raid siren. It's an appropriate gesture for the popular Chicago-based metal collective, whose rapid ascension from buzzed-about Ozzfest highlight to commercial hard rock juggernaut has been as divisive as it has been impressive. While Indestructible doesn't meddle with the melodic hard-hitting Pantera-inspired formula that fueled its predecessors, the dreaded nu-metal tag that followed the band out of the turn of the century seems wholly eradicated. If anything, Disturbed owe more to early-'90s Metallica and Brian Johnson-era AC/DC than they do Tool or Korn, as each staccato, tech-heavy riff is balanced out by some truly artful soloing and frontman David Draiman's mean and melodious pipes. Standout cuts like "Inside the Fire," "Deceiver, " "The Curse," and the skull-cracking title track, even though they could have appeared on any of the group's first three records, still manage to fire on every cylinder. Like its closest contemporary, Godsmack, this is a band that favors reliability over experimentation, and each piece of Indestructible, whether it's the pseudo-horror/fantasy artwork, the drop-D riffing, or the obligatory "shout-outs" in the liner notes to the purveyors of each member's gear endorsement deals, fits together like the world's most obvious puzzle. That said, there's a reason each of the group's previous albums bested the million mark, and with metal growing increasingly self-aware and divided between hardcore and hard rock, a new Disturbed record seems like a solid foundation on which to duke it out. ~ James Christopher Monger, All Music Guide

Disturbed The Great
-
- By I Jedi 777

- Well, generally I'm very, very picky about what I listen to. Often times I only like a few songs from each band that I listen to. This is not always the case, especially here with Disturbed. Disturbed... is... the only band that I have more than just that "few" songs of that I talked about earlier with my collection. I've seen them live, watched the videos, and bought the merchandise. I am a true Disturbed fan at heart. Maybe not the biggest fan of them, but they have over 10 + trucks in my collection. Which, in my world, constitutes as being the best when it comes to my picky ears and music.

- disturbed is a good band that really knows how to put a dark smile on your face whenever your down. indestructible is one of their darkest albums yet and thats why i LOVE it. its even better when you hear it preformed live!! I saw disturbed on 4/20 when they came to erie, pa and inside the fire and indestructible were two of their best songs live, not including down with the sickness or stupify. overall it was a kick ass show!!! rock on my fellow disturbed brothers and sisters!!!!

- honestly, this is one of the best albums I've listened to all year. It's everything a disturbed fan could ask for. My top 3 songs are Facade, enough, and criminal. Overall, If you're a disturbed fan, and haven't picked up this album, I'd say do so, it's worth it

- Personally this is my favorite album of all time. There is not a single bad song on it. I cant stop blasting this album in my car, at home, or from my Zune. I've been listening to the hole album for weeks now and it hasn't disappointed me yet. My only wish was that it was longer with more amazing songs.
