Well, yet another new band is finding its way into the aggro-rock genre, if that's even the industry-approved nickname for fiery music these days. I dont know. Im lost when it comes to all these cute monikers being assigned; I must have been cutting class that day. We already have several bands that were once outcasts, deviants, and sickies of society garnering more than adequate radio airplay and fame, but whereas these bands remain in one mode, Disturbed vary their moods and tones. The most interesting thing that they bring to the table is the addition of some very nice synth programming. This extra spacy element truly does give Disturbed a slightly different edge over what is rapidly becoming a tired, old style of music.
Lead vocalist David Draiman proves he is truly unique, as he often switches between three different voices. The first is of a trained singer with genuine ability; the second is typical of the hardcore, screaming variety; the third comes off as a strange amalgam of the other two.
The members of Disturbed, who are an interesting diversion from much of the sameness that is popular these days, could quite easily make a big impact on the scene. Perhaps theyre a minor fender bender in the world of music, but at least theyre an accident worthy of some rubber-necking. And with their intense lyrics, its a good bet well even see a dead body or two along the way. |
