Disturbed: Asylum

Genre: Hard Rock/Heavy Metal
Label: Reprise



When I first heard that this album was coming out, I was stoked. I couldn't wait for it to be released. I was still listening to their last album, Indestructible, and wanting more. When I first heard Disturbed, I heard their cover of Land of Confusion by Genesis, and the songs Ten Thousand Fist, Down With The Sickness, Prayer, Voices and so on. The first album I listened to all the way through by these guys was Ten Thousand Fist, the title track being my favorite. Jump forward to me finding The Sickness and listening to that, as well as Believe. When Indestructible was released I listened to it as soon as I could. And then when I heard about Asylum and how it was their darkest album yet, I wanted to see if that held true. And it did, for the most part. I wanted the album badly, but after listening to it fully thanks to youtubers, I wasn't has hyped about getting it as I once was. I only like a few songs of the album: Asylum, The Animal, Another Way to Die, Never Again and Warrior. The rest of the album I didn't care for.

Another thing that made me disapointed was the music videos for Asylum and The Animal.  I felt like they didn't stick to the story that was being told. For example: the song Asylum, from what I can tell, is about how a man is driven to the point of insanity because of loneliness.

The Animal: short and sweet, werewolf. Nuff said.


Over all, the album gets a 7.5, my lowest score yet. Reason be is because the rest of the album aside from the songs I listed above, I thought where just bad. They could have done better with the videos and songs in my opinion. But hey, beggar's can't be choosers.

As always, I'm your host, Wattako.
