THE REVIEW

Well, I didn't believe it myself.

I see the album. "Nice. Do they want to be like Iron, Megadeth, or Motorhead? Are they making their own mascot?"
Nothing could be further from the truth. Even the cover betrays and reveals a lack of ideas.

What I mean is that I didn't expect it, but a misstep happens to everyone. Let's say I'm a big fan of Disturbed. I like them (even though they're trying to make me change my mind) and I've always liked them, but I don't think that affects the review I'm writing.

If I wanted to fall into clichés or the most banal trivialization, I would say "This is a flat album devoid of ideas that's not worth buying since the masterpieces are others", but I won't. Surely there must be something that didn't work. That is, I think they did everything to be underestimated. Let's be clear. If a masterpiece like the debut hadn't come out, we wouldn't be here talking about it, but I find that their subsequent works have been released "at random." As much as their path has been very inconsistent, despite the linearity of their genre and the method of performing the tracks, I find that every "second work" is the discordance of the first. If "Believe" could have been at its time the poor copy of "The Sickness," "Indestructible" is of "Ten Thousand Fists."

That said, I would say that for those who know them, this album will offer nothing new, in fact... Everything already heard to the point of almost bordering on self-plagiarism with tracks like the title track that has too much familiarity (despite being one of the best in the entire album). The new ideas are there but are poorly exploited and misleadingly so much that they appear to want to squeeze money from the listener while pretending to be in "Ten Thousand Fists" (which I consider an excellent album).

About the pieces, there's not much to say and everyone has their own tastes, so it's not worth listening to the death metal fan who says crap and gives a 1 or the chic person who writes what's this crap and also gives a 1. It must be said that the general impression is that the riffs are always the same, but the solos are forced, and sometimes out of place enough to make the song do a thousand pirouettes to get back to the predominant rhythm of the song. Notably, the tracklist is once again totally messed up, making you want to change the CD after the first 4/5 songs. The album's "Down With The Sickness" is "Inside the Fire". Nice rhythmic "innovative" and tough. But one song seems a bit scant considering 3 years have passed since the previous work.

In conclusion, I would say that Disturbed are still themselves, but this time less than usual. The times have changed, and Disturbed may find themselves slightly out of place. This was not needed.

Summary by Bot

This review critiques Disturbed's album Indestructible as an inconsistent and less inspired follow-up to their previous works. While some tracks stand out, much of the album feels recycled and lacking fresh ideas. The tracklist is poorly arranged, making the listening experience difficult. The reviewer suggests the band seems out of step with current times and under-delivers despite the band's known quality.

 "The opener 'Indestructible' certainly does not disappoint: it is a great track... a damn catchy chorus that certainly doesn't hurt."

 "Disturbed fall back into their sadly known characteristic... the album descends into being boring and repetitive."
