Believe Review
November 10, 2021
I never understood why this album was never talked about as much as their other albums, in my opinion this is one of the greatest alternative metal albums of all time. David Draiman's main idea for this album is his view with religion. At first glance you can simply look at the track names and see that's the case. But the lyrics tell a much deeper story about his struggle to believe and the pressure of those around him. Getting into the meat of the album, it comes out swinging. The first four tracks are instant classics, and are hard to stop listening to. Liberate and Believe with their catchy chorus make for an easy ear worm. And unlike other disturbed albums, they didn't skimp out at the B-sides. Breathe, Bound and Devour are extremely good songs, filed with symbolism that when read make the album that much more intoxicating. Finally to end it off Darkness is an excellent balled, often sending chills down my spine every listen. Really goes to show what this band can achieve when they really try and find their sound. Absolutely recommend to anyone who has never heard this before.

뉴메탈을 대표하는 미국출신 밴드입니다.
이 앨범을 소개하기 앞서서 뉴메탈에 관하여 몇마디만 할려고합니다. 뉴메탈은 절대 정통헤비메탈이 아니라는것은 알고있습니다. 전에도 말한듯이 대부분 헤비메탈 팬들은 뉴메탈이라 하면 형편없는 실력에 엇비슷한 음악만 넘쳐나는 장르라면... Read More

이 밴드를 알게 된 계기는 1집에 있는 Stupify와 Voices였다. 이 둘을 들었을 때 데이빗씨의 목소리가 카랑카랑한 고음에서부터 낮은 샤우팅까지 하는 것이 다른 뉴메탈들과는 다른 색다른 멋이 있다고 느꼈다. 그래서 1집을 다 듣고 2집을 처음부터 끝까지 들으려다가 앨범과 같은 제목인 Belie... Read More

12년 역사의 정점을 찍은 앨범
메탈을 안 들은지 꽤 되었다가 다시 듣게 된 내가 처음 꺼내 들은 앨범들은 한때 들었던 뉴메탈 앨범들이었다. 린킨파크, 콘, 슬립낫, 피오디 등의 앨범을 듣다 보면 나의 중학교 시절의 추억들이 새록새록 떠오르곤 한다. 그러다 문득 Disturbed의 Indestructible을... Read More

※본 리뷰는 극히, 아주 아주아주아주 극히 주관적이다.
메탈뮤직으로써 많은 메탈 팬들이 뉴메탈을 메탈로 인정하지 않고 하이브리드 뮤직으로 인정하지만 이 음반만은 인정할 수 밖에 없을 것이다. 전작에서부터 느껴졌던 헤비메탈 식 사운드가 본격적으로 중심이 되어서 나타낸 음반... Read More

3번 곡 Divisive는 마치 송혜교 주연의 "더 글로리"의 한 장면을 떠올리면서, 괴롭힘에 대한 절망을 이야기 합니다. 2번 곡 Bad Man은 푸틴에 대한 비판을 담았고, Disturbed는 다른 밴드들과는 다르게 그들의 앨범에 꼭 시놉시스를 붙입니다! 사회문제에 대해서 곱씹어 봐야 할 쟁점들을 몇 곡에서... Read More
