Disturbed, one of the greatest hard rock bands ever (in my oppinion), follows up their hit album from 2008's "Indestructible."
Disturbed released their fifth album "Asylum" on August 31st. The first single off the album, "Another Way To Die," was released in June. It had some of the same elements from previous albums, and had references to global warming. The first song of the album, "Remnants," has a very chilling feel to it, and is a good opening of the album. The song ends and leaves in the same note that the next song opens in, and serves as a great introduction to the album. The self-titled track, "Asylum," is an intense song that is really hard hitting, and has driving guitar parts that will keep you entertained all the way through. The track really defines the album as a great hard-rock album, and is probably the best track of the album.
The next track, "The Infection," which starts just as fast as "Asylum," is another great song. It's got a great guitar solo, and a good chorus part. The next song, "Warrior," is another great song. The opening guitar part's great, the lyrics are creative, everything's good! "Never Again" is a nice track too. The song continues with hard hitting guitar parts, the angry lyrics from Draiman, and the fast beats. "The Animal," one of my favorites, has a good guitar part that sounds an awful alot like "Deciever"'s intro, is another great heart-pumping song. "ishfwilf," or "I Still Havn't Found What I'm Looking For," originally by U2, is a very strange cover. The song's good, but it has a really weird feel through the song, and it has an unneeded solo in it.
But besides the U2 cover, the album's simply amazing, and one of Disturbed's best albums yet. Keep up the good work Disturbed.
