Ten Thousand Fists

Description

After a triple-platinum debut and platinum follow-up,
Disturbed fuses the brutality and darkness of 2000’s The Sickness with the
added melodic nature and complexity of 2002’s Believe for album number three.
Aggressive, relentless and intense-yet at the same time transcendent-Ten
Thousand Fists is a rock sledgehammer. On their third album,
Disturbed don’t as much break out of expected patterns as show their potential
for doing so. Fans eager for more of the band’s patented fist-thumping gruel
will take satisfaction in the album’s opening (and anthemic) title track, plus
“I’m Alive” and “Forgiven.” The band shines brightest in the record’s early
moments, where “Deify,” “Guarded,” “Just Stop,” and “Stricken” demonstrate
that this unit’s capable of discovering a song’s subtleties and crafting
radio-ready choruses meant to uplift the souls of disenfranchised subdivision
dwellers. The album isn’t without its problems––come the halfway mark (“Sons
of Plunder”) vocalist David Draiman and his mates lapse into the expected,
with a series of songs that are good but rarely as remarkable as those found
in Act I. That said, Ten Thousand Fists ultimately reminds us that Disturbed
refuse to relent in their journey toward greatness. –Jedd Beaudoin
