US pressing in A5 hardcover book in slipcase

It started in 2000 with “Down with the Sickness.” Disturbed’sthick, rhythmic take on alt-metal was perfect music for stalkingbloody zombies, and vocalist David Draiman’s jaw-snapping Pavloviangrunts made the trigger fingers of first-person shooters itch.There were threads of other groups in the sound — Pantera’swrenching power, Slipknot, the ill-lighted parlor games of Tool —but Disturbed held their own from the start. If 2002’s Believedownplayed Draiman’s guttural responses a little, that tact’s longgone for 2005’s Ten Thousand Fists. From Todd McFarlane’s evocativewronged misfits artwork — Suicide Girls stand fists upraised nextto ghoulish fiends and disenfranchised truckers — to the rousingstaccato of the title track and the “Sickness” rewrite “Stricken,”Disturbed solidify their stance as the black knights ofgaming-console rock. Creepy electronics slither behind DanDonegan’s guitar, and he mostly forsakes soloing to concentrate onthe visceral groove. When he’s not hacking like a chained-up pitbull, Draiman emotes from the valley of reverb (that’s next to thevalley of death), and his moments of epic roar make the songs’choppier parts more effective. Now, “Overburdened” takes the epicstuff a little too far. Draiman starts off the song in narration,muttering “Fate is so unkind” like a monster who’s been given thepower to feel. But even in its swirling pretentiousness, you can’tdeny his intensity. Luckily the majority of Fists sticks tomid-tempo punishers that pound back anger-gritted teeth and noanesthesia. (Remember, Disturbed’s tours are underwritten byJägermeister, the black licorice firewater that punches Saturdaynight in the face.) “Deify” rails against blind devotion topolitical leaders and “Sons of Plunder” stalks at a faster, moreaggressive faster heart rate, while “Decadence” and “Sacred Lie”drop into the rhythmic grip that by mid- to late album is almostcomfortable in its gloomy thump. (Disturbed’s ill-advised cover ofGenesis’ “Land of Confusion”? No comment.) Ten Thousand Fists doesstart to sound the same after a while. But those bloody zombiesaren’t going to stop pouring though the doorway, so it’s a goodthing it has at least 12 burly alt-metal rockers. Fire!
