Disturbed – Indestructible (Release Year – 2008)
2008 is shaping up to be an incredibly strong year for hard rock and metal music, and Disturbed’s Indestructible is another good release to add to the mix.
From the opening air raid sirens of the title track, Indestructible, you almost know you are going to hear something cool. The title track starts off in awesome fashion. It is a very good track to open this disc up with.
Disturbed already has # 1 radio hit with the song, Inside the Fire, and their are several tracks that could follow this one on to radio.
Deceiver is one of the heavier songs I have heard Disturbed record. This track has plenty of double bass drumming, and some very heavy guitar licks. This is easily my favorite tune on this CD. This song is going to be massive for Disturbed.
The Night has that awesome rhythm that so many Disturbed songs are known for. The driving drums and bass will definitely get the head bangers going. Dan Donegan has some tasty guitar licks in this song as well.
Perfect Insanity is another one of those tunes where David Draiman does his typical vocal chant. Listen to this one once, and repeat after David…..Losing My Mind. This song gets in your head.
At this point, Indestructible needs a song to break it up from being too repetitious. Haunted takes it down between mid to high tempo, but aside from some semi creepy parts, it is too much like everything else on this record. It isn’t a band song, but I needed to hear something to break this album up.
The cool thing about the song Enough is Draiman sings more than he chants. His voice shines on this track, while Mike Wengren serves up some extremely cool drum beats.
The Curse is another tune that will ignite your inner head banger. The music on this song is pretty cool. I thought the chorus was kind of weak, but it isn’t the worst Disturbed has ever done.
Torn is another song that I had trouble getting into. Dan Donegan has some cool guitar parts on Torn, but as a whole, their isn’t anything that makes me want to replay this song.
Divide is more like it. This is the kind of stadium anthem that will have people singing along with the band in no time. Cool Tune!
Those thinking that Disturbed have gotten a little lighter over their last couple of releases will be happy to know that Indestructible is a return to the heavy sound that made Disturbed one of the more popular metal bands over the last ten years. This is easily their heaviest record yet, and quite possibly their best effort to date. If you are a fan of Disturbed, don’t even hesitate to pick this one up. Indestructible hits stores June 3rd, 2008!

Ignore the idiots that plainly do not know music, who cannot ‘get into’ Disturbed. You don’t ‘get into’ Disturbed if you’re not good enough to ‘get into’ Disturbed. By saying that, I’m assuming you’re not good enough to beath the air you breath. DISTURBED always. Been a fan since The Sickness and will die a fan.
i cant agree with them i think this band is the shit i nean really,,i have all their cds and ive seen all the vids.
It’s unfair to think this band deserves any street credit whatsoever. This new album is no different and makes a mockery out of hard rock. I’m sorry but I just don’t get why this band is likable beyond it’s silliness and ambiguous immaturity played by older men.
I Hyped Disturbed on Everhype and gave it 18% which I think is fairly accurate.

I wouldn’t mind getting some opinions on it . If you get on there, rate me a 5 & request friendship.
I have to agree with J.Edwards, this stinks. I’ve never been a real fan of the band, but their last release “Ten Thousand Fists” blows this away. I read online that the guitarist wanted this to be HEAVIER than TTF, I don’t hear it. I’ve given this a feew spins and I think the songs are less heavier. Though I do like Inside The Fire. Sadly, this is getting traded back in.
Sorry to piss on your parade but there is something about Disturbed that I’ve never really dug and the new album continues the tradition for me. Radio friendly Godsmack lite, no thanks.
For me, this is the best one yet. I have been playing the hell out of this disc still.
I have bought every Disturbed album and I see no reason why I shouldn’t add this one to the collection…thanks for the review!
