Rating: - I Salute you Disturbed!!!This heavy metal band is awesome...It was recommended to me by a friend so I previewed it and knew it was an instant MUST HAVE CD!! Ten thousand fists is a great song...The cover to many that haven't heard of them is a bit scary..But to me all the more reason to listen to it....They are that damn good and David has an AWESOME voice that is very appealing to me...All I can say is what are you waiting for people go out and buy this CD it will rock your face off and you will not be disappointed with your purchase........Well unless you don't know what GREATNESS is!!! Rating: - Ten Thousand FistsGreat headache reliever! What? You don't believe me? It's true... Whenever I have a headache, I listen to this album and my headache doesn't come back for the rest of the day. Tell me that's not awesome. Yeah, that's what I thought. Now go buy this awesome album. =D Rating:  - Ten Thousand Fists/DisturbedIt was a good album, but besides Stricken they didn't have many songs that people know about. It wasn't as good asn The Sickness, but they did do a good job and anyone who likes disturbed needs to buy it, or even if you just like to ROCK! Rating: - Cut above the restI bought this album without having heard the previous two. I bought it on the strength of the songs "10,000 Fists" and "Land of Confusion". I'm glad I did. This album maintains a social and self-awareness not demonstrated in a metal album (in my opinion) since Marilyn Manson's "Holywood". Starting the album with "10,000 Fists" as a call to arms, so to speak, gives the listener an idea of what to expect from the proceeding album. From here, song after song continues to bring your attention to the central theme of the album. "Deify" is of particular importance here, stressing the need for constituents of a given place (say, this country) to not blindly follow their leaders and to recognize underlying agendas. The reason this album only gets 4 stars instead of 5 is that as the album progresses, the songs become slightly less memorable. The obvious exception to this is the cover of Genesis' "Land of Confusion". This song remains lyrically as potent as it did in 1984 while Disturbed's overdriven guitars stresses the violent political means that the song's theme addresses. This works well in opposition to the decadent pop-rock sound of the Reagan-era original. It is a shame that Disturbed is not a more high-profile band as the prevelance of this song is as important to our global and domestic political situation as it was when Genesis performed it. (I recommend buying the single Land of Confusion or obtaining a copy of the video to further this significance for yourself. It is comparable to the Genesis video.) Overall, I would recommend this CD to anyone looking for a good metal album or someone who prefers there music with a little significance.
