7. Asylum (2010)

“Asylum is the Disturbed music you instantly recognize and devour. Disturbed knows their sound and doesn’t tread too far from anything other than the razor-sharp chords and David Draiman’s punch-you-in-your-face lyrics. But the album doesn’t start out like you’d expect. Remnants is an instrumental, not at all Disturbed-like, but a great intro to the title song, Asylum. As Draiman barks “Release me!” we know Disturbed is back. One of the best songs is Never Again, where Draiman embraces his Jewish roots. It’s about the Holocaust, but has lyrics that might as well be spitting into the face of Iran and other enemies of Israel. Another treat is Innocence, a typical Disturbed hit which will have you banging your head in seconds. The ‘hidden’ track comes as a pleasant surprise. It’s a cover of U2’s “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For.” This isn’t for everyone, but considering the show they just put on, Disturbed deserves to cover another classic, as they create new ones themselves.”

6. Believe (2002)

“I listened to this album again for the first time in over ten years. Back in my early 20s when I first got into Metal this album got a lot of play and Disturbed was one of my favorite bands. Time passed and I got out of Metal and was listening to other stuff. Now I’m in my 30s and back into Metal so I decided to give this album a listen again to see if it lived up to my pleasant memories of it. It does indeed! The Believe album is like a fine wine and has aged exceptionally well. Disturbed brought their ‘A’ game to this album. Every song is awesome and they find balance between songs that rock your brains out and songs that manage to capture a myriad of emotions that one wouldn’t necessarily expect. Their current stuff is awesome too, but this will always be my favorite Disturbed album.”

5. Evolution (2018)

“If you like Disturbed and their music don’t let the negative reviews deter you as I almost did and I would’ve missed out. After reading the reviews I was expecting a whole cd of acoustic ballads with maybe one or two heavy songs. This couldn’t be further from the truth! I got the deluxe version that has 14 tracks and I would say that well less than half of those are ballads or acoustic and out of those a couple of them start off acoustic but then go to electric so I am a little baffled by the people dissing this cd. Is it a little different than typical Disturbed music? Perhaps a little but I did not notice a significant difference. I even enjoyed the acoustic ballads as I don’t mind when a metal band throws in a few of those from time to time. Even my totally fav band Five Finger Death Punch throws in the occasional ballad! If they were to totally lose their balls and make a complete cd of wussy ballads then yes, this cd would be a disappointment…..but as I have previously stated, that is not the case! My only disappointment, and it is a minor one, is that I thought the last track titled “The Uninvited Guest” was going to be a cover of the Mercyful Fate song of the same name. Sadly, it is NOT…..lol. All in all, a great Cd and I highly recommend it to Disturbed fans and metal fans in general.”

4. Immortalized (2015)

“Excellent come back after their hiatus ! All the rockers on the album are very well done, great riffage as always from Dan! Dave’s vocals sound refreshed and strong the production is killer and loud! If you are a real Disturbed fan than you will be pleased I’ve been a Metalhead since the 70’s and I must say this band always delivers. I don’t typically like cover songs but The Sound of Silence made my jaw drop due to how it showcased the range of Draiman’s voice. I realize the gritty sound is what is used in most metal type music, but the man has an absolutely beautiful voice. Even my husband who is a classically trained musician was impressed.”

3. Indestructible (2008)

“What is not to love about Disturbed’s 4th release. Indestructible delivers the goods YET AGAIN. It’s impressive to read all of the reviews as there really doesn’t seem to be anything negative being said about this album. Disturbed continues to deliver the kind of metal that is intelligent, inspired and addictive. What I love most about this album is the hard driving metal riffs with an almost danceable beat (title track), introspective lyrics (Inside the Fire), solid guitar solos (several) and according to All Music “mean and melodious” vocals (David).”

2. Ten Thousand Fists (2005)

“I bought this album without having heard the previous two. I bought it on the strength of the songs “10,000 Fists” and “Land of Confusion”. I’m glad I did. This album maintains a social and self-awareness not demonstrated in a metal album (in my opinion) since Marilyn Manson’s “Holywood”. Starting the album with “10,000 Fists” as a call to arms, so to speak, gives the listener an idea of what to expect from the proceeding album. From here, song after song continues to bring your attention to the central theme of the album. “Deify” is of particular importance here, stressing the need for constituents of a given place (say, this country) to not blindly follow their leaders and to recognize underlying agendas.”

1. The Sickness (2000)

“How would you know? See, the thing of it is – and if Megadeth taught me anything – if I know I’m crazy, I must not be insane but Dave didn’t saying anything about just being disturbed… how do you know?? Buy this album. Early on in the new millineum rock and hip hop had a baby and the wicked cool tracks on this scorcher has its blood all over its face. Disturbed gained noteriety after they ‘evil up-ed’ Tears for Fears wuss party, pass me a Klenex hit “Shout”; – when front man David Draiman shouts its impossible to not take note. In my humble opinion this album was pretty much the best thing this band laid out for us with tracks like The Game, Sickness, and Stupify – subsequent albums seem to slowly lose their fizzle. It was a slow ride down but a good one. If you can’t handle the heat on this album, get out of Distrubed’s kitchen. If I had to only have one Disturbed disc, this is it.”
