Album Description After a triple-platinum debut and platinum follow-up, Disturbed fuses the brutality and darkness of 2000's The Sickness with the added melodic nature and complexity of 2002's Believe for album number three. Aggressive, relentless and intense-yet at the same time transcendent-Ten Thousand Fists is a rock sledgehammer.

Don't expect, the original,rap-core,melodic, awesome disturbed you heard in the first 2 albums, on this crappy one.. I did buy this album, but because I believe in supporting the bands I love. And I was tripping cause I thought it would be like their first or second album, so I rushed to buy it and listen to it. Popped it in my cd player, and gave it a whirl..I just wasnt really feeling it. With the exception of like 3 songs that I liked, It just sucked. Heavy guitar riffs, Heavy guitar riffs, Heavy singing, but that was about it. Nothing like their first 2 albums. And what surprises me even more! Majority of ppl like this album! Meaning disturbed will continue to make this sound and forget what they did that made their a** famous in the first place. Same thing with papa roach, same thing with korn, same thing with linkin park, and you guessed it.....Limp bizkit. Xept korn was actually successful at saving face and Limp bizkit are gonna try to save face.
I tried to like this album, but if it just doesnt resonated with me, Im gonna have to give it a 1...........out of 5
2010-04-07 Disturbed is a special band
Disturbed is a genuine ingot in an otherwise barren vein of faux neo-metal. I hereby tag thee: Metal.

Disturbed matured with this album and doing something that none of the other bands that are coined nu-metal done -- that was add some strong solos. The stand out for this is Stricken which I heard on the radio a few times then I saw the video for Land of Confusion. AVARICE is a favorite track of mine, and it might be one of the darkest with the reference "AVARICE KILLS YOU IN TIME."
They are doing Chicago proud. It's not since Trouble and Novembers Doom that a band like this broke out. If you like this new album give Psalm 9, a listen if you want true Chicago style heavy metal. Another band that is about to break out is Scott Davidson's Earthen Grave. Disturbed doesn't share the traits of the other nu-metal bands that emerged at the same time as they did -- they showed this with The Sickness (which I also own. This one they employ double bass drumming which gives them a kinship with Black Sabbath.
It's a good album to pick up if you're looking for of theirs, I am glad I found this one at Wal-mart. The other one I got is All Hope Is Gone by SlipKnot (which also has some tight solos on there.)
This album overall will get someone thrashing around -- if one sees them live and they play AVARICE, that one will actually get a good circle pit going. The difference between Disturbed and the rest of the Chicago metal scene is that Disturbed is radio friendly. Heavy Metal in Chicago is a hotbed and you're going to see other bands emerging and kicking some serious ass such as Snow White Rose of Paradise from Empyrean Sky, Grigori 3 with Exile, Disonic with The Value of Truth, Bloodstream Parade with Apocalypse in Retrospect, Withering Soul, Sacred Warrior, and Earthen Grave.
Heavy Metal is very strong in The Windy City. It's mixed between industrial metal to full out break-neck fist pounding head banging thrash metal. Disturbed is the first one to really break out and get noticed -- they are part of the New Wave Of Chicago Heavy Metal. Or as what Lamb of God (their live album Killadelphia) calls it The Next Wave Of American Heavy Metal. The Chicago Metal scene is much more technical with the guitars.
Disturbed always brought me to a head banging frenzy when I first heard Stupify, but they got a lot tighter with Ten Thousand Fists. What Trouble, Sacred Warrior and other bands started, Disturbed just continued where they left off. Draiman's Jewish background loans a lot to his angry vocal style (and damn he's got a range on him. He do the angry growl to the melodic yell, making him a dominate heavy metal vocalist. It can be safe to say that David can be right up there with Ozzy or Mustaine with the pipes.)
They can't be coined thrash but they are pretty close with this album. AVARICE is a thrasher with the drumming.

I am a huge fan and this album is a must. Several great songs with a few okay at best songs. Well worth the price for a whole album verus the price for just the hits.
2009-08-30 Took me by surprise
OK, I admit that the whole idea of Disturbed, the image of the band etc right down to the cover graphics on this album threw me a curve ball. I thought it was going to be some horrid amalgam of hardcore and metalcore and I sold these guys short on the basis of that mistake.
Because once I sat down and listened to it the quality was borne out. While the band do have a massive amount of anger they also marry it to quite good vocal melodies which gives the album a vast edge of the gruntcore bands. This marrying of intelligible fury and the solid-as-an-oak-forest riffing is what takes this album from being an anonymous pile of dreck suitable only for 14 year olds and socially stunted 15 year olds and puts it squarely into the territory of being a darn reliable listen.
Sure the modern style of riffing can be a little samey at times and not every vocal melody is a winner but that is not to deny the respect that this album garners the band because they come across lyrically as being firebrands but also realistic ones, these guys aren't Rage Against The Machine and their poseur activism.
And besides, even at my age listening to the title track makes me want to smash stuff up and for that I thank them!
