Is a quartet out of Chicago, Ill. Released their first album in 2000 "The Sickness." In 2002 followed up with "Believe" it debuted at number one. In 2005 they released "Ten Thousand Fists" which also debuted at number one. Followed by "Indestructible" which debuted in 2008 at number one making them one of six bands rock bands in history to ever have three consecutive albums debuting at number one. The bands smash hit "Inside the Fire" gave them their first grammy nomination (in 2009) for best HEAVY METAL performance. Infamous for their use of cryptic lyrics, they often have the listener replaying the song to fully absorb the meaning, however the release of their new album has a much more direct lyrical approach
Disturbed - The Sickness
by dsotm223 June 29, 2011
A great metal band who had the misfortune of being branded with the "nu metal" label, which warrants every hater to say "listen to real metal." Despite this label, Disturbed is heavier than the fathers of metal, Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath, and other influential metal bands such as AC/DC and Iron Maiden. In fact, their most popular song, Down with the Sickness is heavier than Metallica's most popular song, Enter Sandman.
Sure, Mike Wengren is no Lars Unlrich and Dan Donegan will never tear through solos like Dave Mustaine, but Disturbed is a band that should not be underestimated. Everything from David Draiman's aweworthy vocal range to the band's ability to recreate the feeling of pure, relentless terror give them the right to be called the Metallica of the new millennium.

Hater: Distubed sucks! They aren't even metal
Disturbed fan: Have you even listened to their music?
Hater: No, but my friend told me they did a Genesis cover
Disturbed fan: *facepalm*

Disturbed is a pretty fuckin' excellent nu metal band that should'nt be labeled as such. they've worked hard to be where they are today, & deserve to be amongst the truly metal bands.Unlike limp bizkit (Which is,in my opinion,the very reason why nu metal fucked up)who are such sell outs & posers(and rap),otherwise,disturbed deserves to be labeled as true heavy metal!!!!LONG LIVE HEAVY METAL!!!
4 reasons Why disturbed does'nt deserve to be nu metal:
#1:They dont rap!!!
#2:They ACTUALLY HAVE talent( UNLIKE LIMP BIZKIT)
#3:THEY ARE'NT LIMP BIZKIT!!
#4:LIMP BIZKIT SUCKS :( THEY PLAY THE CORPERATE GAME & ARE SO FAGGY & FULL OF SHIT!UNLIKE DISTURBED)

In my opinion, the best band ever. Now, before people get pissed off, I'm not insinuating that other bands are not as good, I simply enjoy their music greatly. I have heard a lot of nonsense about Disturbed fans being unintelligent, and I have to say that is a huge load of crap. I am a Disturbed fan and I have an IQ of 155, so suck on that, assholes.
Deceiver: the beginning is amazing; fast paced and somewhat provocative.
Haunted: hands down, it is my all time favorite song, simply mind blowing.
Dehumanized: a lot of us can relate to the message in that song.
all of their songs are great. so go to your local music store and pick up a Disturbed album, you won't regret it

A nu-metal band unlike many others in that their music has true meaning. Probably the greatest band ever. Deal with it.

An ALTERNATIVE (not NuMetal you fucknuts) Metal band. With frontman David Draiman, their songs are about the pain of your internal demons and standing up against those who make you feel like shit. (btw: NuMetal is a shitty 90's excuse for rapcore. Typical characteristics include (ofcourse) rap, downtuned guitars, self-righteousness, bitching, and materialism. Like System of a Down, Disturbed incorporate NONE of these aspects on a regular basis.)
1: Hey, did you know there's a new Disturbed album coming out this spring?
2: Yeah, they're my favorite numetal band since Slipknot and KoRn!
1: *Stabs 2 in the face and pisses on him*
