Pro Reviews: Ten Thousand Fists
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews It started in 2000 with "Down with the Sickness." Disturbed's thick, rhythmic take on altmetal was perfect music for stalking bloody zombies, and vocalist David Draiman's jawsnapping Pavlovian grunts made the trigger fingers of firstperson shooters itch. There were threads of other groups in the sound Pantera's wrenching power, Slipknot, the illlighted parlor games of Tool. But Disturbed held their own from the start, so get up, come on get down with the sickness. If 2002's Believe downplayed Draiman's guttural responses a little, that tact's long gone for 2005's Ten Thousand Fists. From Todd McFarlane's evocative wronged misfits artwork Suicide Girls stand fists upraised next to ghoulish fiends and disenfranchised truckers to the rousing staccato of the title track and the "Sickness" rewrite "Stricken," Disturbed solidify their stance as the black knights of gamingconsole rock. Creepy electronics slither behind Dan Donegan's guitar, and he mostly forsakes soloing to concentrate on the visceral groove. When he's not hacking like a chainedup pit bull, Draiman emotes from the valley of reverb (that's next to the valley of death), and his moments of epic roar make the songs' choppier parts more effective. Now, "Overburdened" takes the epic stuff a little too far. Draiman starts off the song in narration, muttering "Fate is so unkind" like a monster who's been given the power to feel. But even in its swirling pretentiousness, you can't deny his intensity. Luckily the majority of Fists sticks to midtempo punishers that pound back angergritted teeth and no anesthesia. (Remember, Disturbed's tours are underwritten by Jägermeister, the black licorice firewater that punches Saturday night in the face.) "Deify" rails against blind devotion to political leaders and "Sons of Plunder" stalks at a faster, more aggressive faster heart rate, while "Decadence" and "Sacred Lie" drop into the rhythmic grip that by mid to late album is almost comfortable in its gloomy thump. (Disturbed's illadvised cover of Genesis' "Land of Confusion"? No comment.) Ten Thousand Fists does start to sound the same after a while. But those bloody zombies aren't going to stop pouring though the doorway, so it's a good thing it has at least 12 burly altmetal rockers. Fire - Johnny Loftus, All Music Guide |

Pros: The entire album
Cons: Too much barking
Disturbed delivers yet another hard-hitting hour-plus of metal on their third album, "Ten Thousand Fists," with sharp cutting-lyrics and chords that sound best at deafening decibels. While "Stricken" has already made its way to the airwaves, the title cut, "Just Stop" and "I'm Alive" are bound to follow. These are mostly radio-friendly tunes, people, though this is a band that seems like their music is only appreciated by brain-dead high schoolers.
The only awkward part is singer David Draiman's guttural throat-clearing bark that he used perfectly on 2000's "The Sickness." Here, it's used almost on every track, and needlessly on the cover of Genesis's "Land of Confusion." But that alone can't drag down this album too much, because Disturbed ultimately packs another 14 high-energy gems into another fantastic album. ...
