Well I've heard that the New Disturbed album is holding the number one slot and many music charts!

I remember the first time I heard Disturbed It was the song "Get down with the Sickness", and when you heard that EPIC intro and those famous words ...

"Can you feel that?"
"Oooooooh shit!"

It was HARD not to just have an eargasm!

The albums after that were kinda OK they weren't BAD but they definitely lacked the "use my music as a weapon" feel the first album did.

The newest album Asylum has been causing a lot of talk so I figgered I'd check it out and see what's up.

I'll get the bad out of the way first:

Disturbed seems to have a "Formula" for making a song and it just seems most of the songs on this album fallow this formula.

The formula is Take a one word title throw in some violent lyrics and the one word title be the final part of the chorus.

And most of the songs are one word titles

"Asylum"
"Warrior"
"Crucified"
"The Infection"

All but "Another way to Die, and the cover of "Living after Midnight" have no more than two words in the title.

And when you listen to the lyrics they ALL seem to fallow the formula as well some random being angry and then BAM the title of the song!

Now this is only a problem of you are like me and look at things in an over picky manner and really start over examining things, but to me it seems to show a lack of creativity!

The Good:

The Affore mentioned problem really only hurts the album if you aren't a fan of Disturbed, if you have heard every song they've ever made AND LIKE THEM then you will love this album.

The other thing is if you listen to it on little speakers, you will be missing half the album, I first listened to it on the little speakers on my laptop and wasn't really impressed, but I burnt the CD and put it in my car and CRANKED IT UP and it was AWSOME!

It was like listening to a completely different album!

All those trademark sounds are there everything that made you love "The Sickness" in the sound of Asylum!

One thing I didn't really like about there last albums is they really had a "Preachy" feel to them and if Asylum is a preachy album (I've heard "Another way to die" is about global warming) they do a good job of hiding it

All and all while it seems to show a lack of creativity, Asylum is a big step closer to Disturbed roots than any of there last albums!

It's also nice seeing metal hold a spot on Mainstream charts sometimes kicking Lady Gaga and Eminem out of there spots for a while!

P.S If you get the album...PLAY IT LOUD!
