Yay, finally an album by these guys that doesn't have the same main riff for every goddamn song! "Indestructible", the fourth studio by the Disturbed, is probably their best, or at least their second best. The album starts off first with gunshots in the distance similar to the beginning of Metallica's "One", and then adds on air raid sirens like in Black Sabbath's "War Pigs". But unlike these two songs, the first track on the album, "Indestructible", glorifies the soldier and war. The song abruptly starts with a riff heavier than Metallica's "Master of Puppets", and cuts off the air raid sirens. It has great transitions between parts of the song, and is a great start to a great album.Next comes the album's main single:"Inside the Fire". A lighter song than "Indestructible", the guitar and bass sound so similar that it is hard to tell when the guitar is playing and when it isn't. It has evil laughter in the beginning, which signals the end of the intro and start of the song. The Disturbed have done something like this before, in their most popular song "Down with the Sickness", only in this, the sound the singer makes actually sounds somewhat human.
The next two songs,"Deceiver" and "The Night"are relatively good, and are worth listening to, but there really isn't anything unique to comment on in these songs other than the great drums that are in every song by the Disturbed.
"Perfect Insanity" starts with a drum solo and blasts into the first verse after a brief instrumental that sounds like a cross between "Indestructible" and "Inside the Fire". The entire song is great, but the transition to the chorus is a bit abrupt and could be improved on.
The next track, "Haunted" goes from a relatively light instrumental in the intro to a heavy riff, similar to that of Iron Maiden's "Number of the Beast". It has a chorus similar to that of the previous track, but the transition between the chorus is almost perfect.
The rest of the album is filled with tracks that sound relatively similar. "Enough" has a fading ending, "The Curse" has a chorus that sounds almost exactly like the verses, "Torn" and "Criminal" have similar opening riffs, and "Divide" begins with an extremely fast riff and then goes back to the riff that these guys used for the every song in their past songs. The final track on the album, "Facade" is probably the best of the last six tracks on the album.
Rating:3/5
It is a good album, but the songs start to sound the same about halfway into the album. I would still buy it, but it might take a while to get used to the style of the Disturbed.
