But I wanna lose, just to read it :lol:


I'm going to do it but it will be in swaheelee with a hidden subliminal message telling you to only wipe your ass with Charmin Ultra Soft toilet paper.

I checked out a few tracks off the album, I was pretty bored to be honest, I much preferred 10, 000 Fists, though with all the positive feedback here I might give it a listen.

Also, :lol: that song on GH3 was Stricken.

Yeah this album isn't really bad, just incredibly boring. Pretty basic melodies with a so-so performance. Not really well-thought out like their other albums (to a degree). I like "Haunted" the best.

I think Disturbed's best album is "Believe"

Believe was actually pretty good sometimes if I remember correctly. It was six years ago and all. Liberate was a fun track.

Good cd, A lot of those that bag this band out are closet fans afraid to admit it. As for the review, certainly different good for you. I take it from the score you like it.

I think thats because it was more of a drastic leap forward over the previous release. I think their last two have both been slight improvements.

But they're really just doing what they do now. I'd like to see their next release branch out a bit more. I mean, a couple straight up ballads, a couple heavier tracks, maybe something more epic.
Because its clear they can shit out 12 very good hard rock/heavy metal songs every couple of years at this point, which is fine, but what else ya got?

It's incredible how successful they are, TBH.

I have to agree with you Zed. Your genius is clearly, for some sad reason, wasted on some of these grunts. For the rest of the people who can read between the lines, however, this review is clearly a masterpiece.

Not a fan of this one, it was just too dull for my liking. Much prefer Ten Thousand Fists and Believe.

I have no idea or not if you're being sarcastic ("Zed", repeated "clearly", "grunts", "some sad reason") but if you are then :P :rolleyes: :wink: and if you're not then :D :cool: :wub:

Let's just wait until the TrueMetalWarrior has another opinion on this to force upon us.

Ah, nah, I wasn't being sarcastic - the double "clearly" being a mistake as I didn't took my time to check the message twice (for some stupid reason :/). I liked the review, believing I understood most of the metaphors. I agree with some people that all reviews shouldn't be written in this way but it was a nice change. And I don't really like Disturbed that much, at least I think. Gotta give this new album a try, though.
