The eighth studio album by American heavy metal band, the band’s first studio album in four years. Features the singles ‘Hey You’, ‘Unstoppable’ and ‘Divisive’.Disturbed is the archetypal American band, always destined to blow up expectations. They’ve propelled five albums to the top of the American charts and had a good fifteen hits do well in the singles sales. At the dawn of their 13th anniversary, the band are releasing an eighth album that is predictable yet terribly effective. Everything that makes Disturbed who they are is on this album (save for some of their more recent debauchery). Powerful, groovy, mainstream metal with catchy choruses and headbanging riffs… What more could you ask for?
The opening tracks are undeniably catchy. ‘Hey You’, ‘Bad Man’ and ‘Divisive’ find the perfect balance between big guitars and an imposing groove, and the sound is enhanced with vocals that aren’t afraid to play into the iconic sounds (such as the “oo-ah, ah, ah”) from the band’s first hits. It’s as if Disturbed want to please their original fans, who were cruelly disappointed by the lackadaisical Evolution released in 2018. They return to their roots here with an album that’s as inspired by neo-metal as it is by the stadium guitars of the 90s. This might seem like an easy option for the band, but it works all the same! Apart from a ballad with Ann Wilson from Heart (‘Don’t Tell Me’, with its dreamy solo and melancholic chorus), the band deliver heavy, moving stuff. Perhaps they repeat themselves a little too often, but they never miss the mark. Have they taken any real risks? Absolutely not. But you don’t go to see a Hollywood blockbuster for the well-devised screenplay; you go to be blown away. A good Disturbed album like Divisive is much the same, and it’ll get you dancing with disconcerting ease. – Chief Brody
