Disturbed - Indestructible
| Billboard |
| A motorcycle accident, a garage fire at his home and lots of romantic turmoil fuel Disturbed frontman David Draiman's frustrations on this fierce, angry diatribe of a record. It dabbles in politics ("Enough," the title track), rails against conformity ("Divide") and, on the downright frightening single "Inside the Fire," finds the singer grappling with a suicide solution that's encouraged by Satan himself. The group backs it up with a forceful sonic fusillade that recalls Disturbed's 2000 debut, "The Sickness," while doing away with some of the melodic niceties that crept into "Ten Thousand Fists" and 2002's "Believe," right down to Draiman's jungle animal vocals. It does, however, retain a taut, grooving sensibility that gives guitarist Dan Donegan plenty of room for heretofore unexplored heroics, from the spiraling lick of "Inside the Fire" to the razor attack of "The Night."...full text |

While Indestructible doesn't meddle with the melodic hard-hitting Pantera-inspired formula that fueled its predecessors, the dreaded nu-metal tag that followed the band out of the turn of the century seems wholly eradicated. If anything, Disturbed owe more to early-'90s Metallica and Brian Johnson-era AC/DC than they do Tool or Korn, as each staccato, tech-heavy riff is balanced out by some truly artful soloing and frontman David Draiman's mean and melodious pipes. Standout cuts like "Inside the Fire," "Deceiver, " "The Curse," and the skull-cracking title track, even though they could have appeared on any of the group's first three records, still manage to fire on every cylinder....full text |

| With Indestructible, Disturbed are primed to dominate rock radio throughout the upcoming summer and beyond. Rock-and-roll music has always loved and fed on controversy, and the ever-polemical Chicago quartet has released its darkest, heaviest record to date. Indestructible is a self-produced affair - "After three records and doing this for ten years, if we don't know what we're doing by now, we shouldn't be doing it," stated frontman David Draiman in a recent interview - and is inspired by the vocalist's string of "bad luck" over the past couple years. In turn, Draiman's bandmates - guitarist Dan Donegan, bassist John Moyer, and drummer Mike Wengren - embraced the volatile frontman's darker prose, crafting instrumentation that effectively corresponds with his dour, abrasive lyrics....full text |
