Disturbed: What are they?

SameDifference

Just wanted to know...

Me and my mate dan cannot classify disturbed...

Sabre0001

Why do you have to classify them? Anyways....I have heard them described as Nu-metal but I think they are now called hard-rock or metal...

All just rock (some harder than others) to me...I do like them though - except the vocalist should put back in the walrus piercings

Alter-Ego

Boring

Alanthroneus

ah just before me alter-ego:)

Repetitive is a good word for Disturbed

Mr. CooL ICE

A friend of mine was trying to get me to listen to them before. Every song seems to have the same bloody beat! You could almost sum up their whole sound in 2 songs

Mental Mickey

Disturbed are............................DISTURBED.

Never liked em. Yer man's voice does my head in, and, as someone already said, their songs sound similar to each other.

pleasant Co.

They're prolly Hard rock now... I liked their first album a lot, quite a cool listen, but now, meh... don't care what they do..

I like a few things of theirs, which I have recently found out was mostly earlier stuff - Stupify, Prayer, Down With the Sickness, Stricken.

I'd call them "Hard Hard Rock" or "Mainstream Metal". I like Dave Draiman's vocals, the way he changes the tone of it many times in a song, and yes, even the monkey vocals (Oooh-wa-ah-ah-ah-Owww!).

"Stricken" is one of my favorite singles of the last few years.

theyre utter bollocks

DSB

Possibly the worst band around. Well them and Aiden.

Ooh-ra-ha-ha-ha! as Davey himself would say. Ah leave Disturbed alone, they crack me up. Those big goofy riffs and weird singing always puts a smile on my face. Theres worse bands out there.

Jack Vegas

One thing that nowhone can take away from them is that they know how to write an epic chorus.

Mossy Monk

I like them.

BleakestH

Horrible band.

Vegeta

I do like Stricken and it is on GH III

wouldn't buy an album but some good singles

Thundercracker

Love this band, seek out their cover of Genesis's Land of Confusion and Tears for Fears Shout

Does it really matter? What are genres anyway, but a rough guide as to what a band sound like? They're all very loose definitions, so I wouldn't bother getting caught up in it myself.

qwertplaywert

What are they?Just a damn good band.

DSB

:eek:

cournioni

If you're looking for a genre to put them into, put them into metal. There is really no sub genre to put them into like many other bands.

I personally don't mind Disturbed at all. Ok they may be your bog standard band, but they sound unique in certain ways... That is a good attribute to have.

i catogerise my music in two lots : good or crap, they fit the crap section.
Although i stood outside a tent where they performed (at a festival) and they sounded good enough, but upon listening to them afterwards i wasnt very impressed

Rustar

Be interesting to hear what all the Disturbed nay-sayers categorize as "good" music.

Otherwise, I think they can all go back to listening to their "Best of the Carpenters" CDs.

Rustar

And hey, it isn't just any old band that gets covered by Richard Cheese & Lounge Against The Machine.....
