haws bah gawd Posted September 21, 2005 Report Posted September 21, 2005 So as the topic title says, has anyone picked up 10,000 Fists yet? I love Disturbed's current singles, Guarded and Stricken, so I'm hoping the rest of the album is just as good. Thoughts?
Black Lushus Posted September 21, 2005 Report Posted September 21, 2005 I may snag this one, I heard Ten Thousand Fists on Madden 06 and thought it was decent...better than anything on the last album...reviews I've read called it their best, so take that for what you will...

It also has the heavy drumming of their second Cd mixed with the hooks of their first. I am a huge Disturbed fan, so I do have a bias, but it's still worth checking out if you're a fan of commercially viable heavy rock.
Guest Coffey Posted September 21, 2005 Report Posted September 21, 2005 I'm actually a Disturbed fan and I don't like the album. I've been listening to it several times though. I'm hoping that it'll grow on me. So far, the only songs that I like are "Ten Thousand Fists" and the "Land of Confusion" cover.
Black Lushus Posted September 21, 2005 Report Posted September 21, 2005 hey, I really dug the first album, seemed different thanmost nu-metal coming out at the time...I'm sure i'll grab this one!
the max Posted September 22, 2005 Report Posted September 22, 2005 I'm LOVING "Stricken". It's probably my favorite song of theirs since "Voices" came out.
Red Baron Posted September 22, 2005 Report Posted September 22, 2005 Stricken is a pretty good song. I'll let someone else buy it first then give it a listen. I've been too busy to actually download albums now.
tominator89 Posted September 22, 2005 Report Posted September 22, 2005 I'm enjoying the album. The Land of Confusion cover is great.
JST Posted September 23, 2005 Report Posted September 23, 2005 Just got it. I can't stop playing Guarded.
The Czech Republic Posted September 23, 2005 Report Posted September 23, 2005 Hm. I was always under the impression that Disturbed wasn't very good.
Edwin MacPhisto Posted September 23, 2005 Report Posted September 23, 2005 My understanding is that, if you're into that kind of music, they're very good at it. But Czech, I think that is a world for neither you nor I.

But Czech, I think that is a world for neither you nor I. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> They are the best of their genre of music, Nu-Metal. That's not saying but much but they are well above 75% of today's rock/metal acts. I haven't heard to much of 10,000 fists just yet other then small snippets and the current "Stricken" radio hit but It sounds pretty solid and I enjoyed Believe and I've heard nothing but praise for 10,000 Fists.
tekcop Posted September 23, 2005 Report Posted September 23, 2005 I think I "out grew" Disturbed after I turned 16.
LaParkaYourCar Posted October 9, 2005 Report Posted October 9, 2005 I haven't listened to the album yet, but I noticed you guys talking about a "Land of Confusion" cover, that wouldn't happen to be the old Genesis song would it? EDIT: Wow...just listened to it and it IS a cover of that song. Well I'll be damned.
2GOLD Posted October 10, 2005 Report Posted October 10, 2005 I've bought their first two and I'll buy this one sooner than later. Just don't feel like driving out of the fucking state right now to get an unedited copy. Might order it online if my damn music club ever decides to offer it up.
Guest Vitamin X Posted October 13, 2005 Report Posted October 13, 2005 I think I "out grew" Disturbed after I turned 16. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Same here, except 18 in my case. I listened to shitty rock/metal all throughout high school.
skullman80 Posted October 13, 2005 Report Posted October 13, 2005 Disturbed has never put out an album that was any good....
Guest Finch Posted October 16, 2005 Report Posted October 16, 2005 I liked 10,000 Fists the first two times when it was called The Sickness and Believe.
Guest Kaedon Posted October 17, 2005 Report Posted October 17, 2005 I liked 10,000 Fists the first two times when it was called The Sickness and Believe. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Actually this was Distubed's biggest leap musically. They added some kick ass guitar solos, the layed the tempos back a lot, and they did a lot of new things musically. Then again, Dan followed the trend of every effing guitarist OVERUSING THE WAH PEDAL
LaParkaYourCar Posted October 17, 2005 Report Posted October 17, 2005 I liked 10,000 Fists the first two times when it was called The Sickness and Believe. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Except I'd say this was nothing like The Sickness and definitely improved upon Believe, so I'm not sure where you're coming from. I'm glad that at least these guys are improving with each album. Most bands nowdays either blow their good stuff, which is usually one song, on the first album or they start mediocre and never rise past that level.

Because they stick to a formula? Does that then mean if you've seen one Kurt Angle match, youve seen them all?
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted October 18, 2005 Report Posted October 18, 2005 It means that Disturbed is very samey. Being formulaic isn't always a bad thing; it just depends on the formula. Disturbed is about as middle ground as nu-metal radio gets, which is plenty successful but is completely devoid of anything innovative.

Corey_Lazarus Posted October 19, 2005 Report Posted October 19, 2005 Disturbed is good for what they are, and that's the "aggressive" side of radio-friendly rock. System Of A Down still has their asses beat in every single sense of the word, though: better show, better music, more growth between albums, better lyrics, and better vocals.

Serj cant pull of his studio voice live, David can.
Red Baron Posted October 19, 2005 Report Posted October 19, 2005 Disturbed is a tighter band live than SOAD, there's no debate on that.
Guest Reservoir_Kitty Posted October 19, 2005 Report Posted October 19, 2005 10,000 Fists was definitely an improvement over Believe, however, I still feel that the Sickness was their best album. They've been getting better album to album, which is good, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss the crunchy, angry feel from their first. Now, I can't really comment on SOAD being good/bad live, but I will agree that Disturbed is excellent live. They're probably one of the better live acts I've seen in the past few years. David Draiman is very charismatic, and the music never seemed off or sloppy when I've seen them. I do really like SOAD though, and wish I could see them live
Corey_Lazarus Posted October 20, 2005 Report Posted October 20, 2005 It'd be hard for Disturbed to get sloppy on their songs live, though...considering it's pretty generic riffage. Though they are a VERY good live band (I didn't care for them at all until seeing them live, and then "Voices" and "Down With The Sickness" grew on me). I don't really care at all for "Stricken," and since I haven't bought a Disturbed album yet and just listened to a friend's copy here and there, I think I'll do the same.
