I have been reading on some music related threads, a general dislike for the band Disturbed.
Personaly they are one of my favorite bands, but I was wondering what the rest of the escapist thinks.

............

Calm down, it's only been 5 or so minutes! Hehe, always wanted to say that :3

As for the band...no idea who they are. What are they?

They're a Nu Metal band from chicago.....

Bit crap. But not really my scene so I can't really judge.

I can understand why some people don't like them...

I don't like them. The singer (and his voice) just pisses me off.

There you go, now that's 7 posts, you're well on your way to 100

Heres a link to one of their songs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56NH688e7mE

Really? that was one of the main reasons I was drawn to the band, they have a very distinct Singer.

Yes, and I hate his voice

ThaBenMan:
Their music is ok, but they're very corporate. They have a fan club and shit, and they went and played for the soldiers in Iraq - which is fine, but reading an article about it, I just got the feeling that it was just for the positive PR.

I like some of their music pretty well, I just don't really like them...

They weren't always very corporate, but if the music is good and the band is devoted, then why get mad if they are corporate? (hopefully they wont end up like koRn....*shudder*)

I loved the sickness and Believe. A great band. For some reason I could never really get into much of their third album, or later stuff.

I wouldn't call him a singer tbh...

Believe was my favorite CD of their's, Indestructible was good, mostly the songs Criminal and Facade.

He can sing, but he mostly just growls inhumanly...

Edit: wtf happened to my quote?

I have yet to hear him do the former.

What songs have you heard?

I think that Disturbed are johnny come latelies to a scene that was dead before they even made a song. Anything ever squatted out by the "new metal" scene was already done better by either hardcore, industrial, or black metal music before it.

I like love Disturbed. One of my favorite bands.

Believe was a good album though most the songs on Indestructible sound almost the same. They could have mixed it up a bit, only Inside the Fire is completely different to the others.

I have no idea what they were called, the ones that sounded like a cat being tied to a barbed wire fence and stretched until it's guts came flying out.

Edit: Oh wait, sorry that doesn't really help narrow the search down at all does it? They all sound like that

They didn't really experiment much with indestructable, it was really easy to get into, but now, a couple months late, I find myself listening to believe more....my favorite song on idestructible is either criminal or deciever.

ouch......you are the first one to actually give a point for not liking them...you have to listen to the songs that aren't played on the radio to find the good ones where he sings, as much of their music on the radio is just crappy...

My brother has all the albums. I hate it all.

Ok....you win, you hate disturbed.

Yes. Yes I do.

If you cared about good singing, why would you dig through Disturbed's b-sides just to find servicable melodies?

If I want singing I'm sticking in Otis Redding.. and if I want cookie monster growls i'm popping in MonsterX or Brujeria.

Hey,
I really like Disturbed but they are not really metal... They are mor Hard rock. If you want metal then check out Iron Maiden or Slayer,etc...
I liked they're sings, even the recent album.
*Note* Lots of good bands I know have sold out and the newer music isn't as good.

More off this topic but I also like Three Days Grace... their music has gotten me through some tough times.

the sad part is most of them credit Mike Patton and faith no more as their main influence. it's something that makes Mike ashamed to have ever been in fnm

i was trying to find a quote from Dave "Oderus" Brockie where he calls them a bunch of irrelevant losers that need to grow up

haha

That's harsh. There a hillarious clip on YouTube where Mike Patton is doing an interview and Wolfmother comes on in the background, he stops the interview and asks, "Wait, are you listening to this shit? What time period are we in? Holy shit."

Helmet + Mike Patton = Nu Metal

I guess its a love or hate band from what I hear...

GothmogII:
Calm down, it's only been 5 or so minutes!

That's what she said. Couldn't help it.

Anyway: Disturbed is about as Metal as Godsmack is. That meaning, this Nu Metal, is BS. It's the sub-genre made when some dick cheese classified Puddle of Mudd as Hard Rock.
I'm not too big on Disturbed, I don't hate them, I don't like them. What I hate is that they remade a Phil Collins song with a straight face.

Phil Collins pisses me off.....

I like their version better...O.o
