[Review] Disturbed - Indestructible


Disturbed as you may know are my favourite band. So here is what I think of Indestructible.

Ok so when the CD starts your greated by the sound of an air raid siren and gunshots. That goes on for about 30 seconds but then comes an awsome intro. The song titled 'Indestructible' is a very good song to start the album but I do think it could have been a bit more heavier. After the opening track 'Indestructible' I was amazed by the intro to the first single off the album 'Inside the Fire'. Now the song is awsome but its better if you know the background of the song. As I have the CD/DVD version of the album in the 'Making Of Indestructible' David Draiman describes 'Inside the Fire' as one of Disturbed's darkest songs. Track 3 'Deceiver' and I was greeted with an awsome guitar solo thanks to Dan Donnegan. 'Deceiver' is one of my favourite tracks on the album and it is clearly a good example of a great song. I liked the fact that I could sense the anger from David's voice in the song. Track 4 'The Night' was the first track that Disturbed worked on for Indestructible as Dan was doing the intro before they started the album. It has a brilliant beginning and a beautiful chorus. Track 5 'Perfect Insanity' which was remade for Indestructible as it was originally a song from The Sickness era. I have listened to the original and clearly Disturbed made it a more heavier version for Indestructible. The drum intro by Mike Wengren just blew me away when I first listened to it and its clearly the best song on the album. The sixth track 'Haunted' has a cool dark intro and all the instruments made it sound haunted by far. Track 7 titled 'Enough' is a brilliant song but a little soft with David's voice when it gets to the chorus but thats fine cause it made the song better. Track 8 'The Curse' has an awsome intro thanks to hours of work on effects by Dan Donnegan he made the intro that much awsome and everything else like David, Mike and Jon was great. Track 9 'Torn' is a much more softer song and to be honest its brilliant. It wasn't as soft as 'Darkness' from Disturbed's second album Believe but it was more of a soft metal song than a really soft song like 'Darkness'. Now track 10 titled 'Criminal' it was a good song but just doesn't really do much for me it just seemed like David was singing about suffering and asking you if you want to call him mother f***er.Overall the song is alright but lyric wise it doesn't do that much for me. Track 11 another song from The Sickness era called 'Divide'. The Sickness era was clearly a time of Disturbed's best stuff and it was good to see not just one but two tracks remade for Indestructible. Divide basically about tearing holes and s*** like that and the intro just rushes you into the song so they could have put like some form of guitar or drum intro instead of just rushing you into the guitar notes going up and down. Track 12 'Facade' the final track on the album and to be honest it was great. From what I can gather lyric wise about the background that its about someone bleeding internally but overall its a great song.

Overall Indestructible is a great album and if your a big Disturbed fan then you will feel right at home. I recommend you get the album because its a fine example of Metal.
