- Indestructible (Bonus Tracks)

Disturbed is one of those alternative rock/metal bands that has withstood the test of time. On top of that, their fanbase continues to grow and their albums show the growth of the individual band members and the group as a whole.

David Draiman's vocals have gotten so much cleaner since The Sickness and are, at least, a step up from Ten Thousand Fists. Dan Donegan's talent as the guitarist in the group has gotten so good, he has multiple solos in this album. John Moyer's bass, like Dan Donegan's guitar skills, have gotten a lot better and Mike Wengren just is awesome on the drums and has shown significant growth as well.

As far as the album itself, words can't even begin to describe how great it is! The song opens up with a song designed specifically for the soldiers titled, Indestructible. However, as David Draiman has noted about the song and the album, "It's a soundtrack for people to feel indestructible." The Night is one of the songs that really stands out from the album with it's wonderful chorus and rhythms. Criminal is a song that features a Dan Donegan solo along with a melody that doesn't slow down and an exciting chorus that drags the listener into the mindset of what Draiman may have been thinking when he wrote the song. The one song, however, that stands out differently is the song, Divide. When I listened to it, it sounded like a song that was a long-lost track from The Sickness. After I watched the Making of Indestructible, I found out it was a track that got thrown onto the back-burner until now; when the band felt like it was time for the song to be released onto an album. In some ways, it disturbs (no pun intended) the overall flow of the album. All the songs prior, and after, Divide are new material then Divide hits and you are immediately thinking of the album, The Sickness. Don't get me wrong, it is a great song as well but I think it would have helped the album's flow better if one of the B-Side tracks like Parasite or Run was in the album and Divide was the B-Side track.

Overall, Indestructible is proof as to why Disturbed continues to thrive and survive while other bands are struggling just to keep the fanbase they have. With them, you don't get any screaming where you have no clue as to what they're saying, you great a group heavily devoted to creating exceptional melodies, and a group that has a reason for creating an album and for writing the songs that they do. From beginning to end, this album has one great song right after another! They were aiming for a ballsier and darker album and I think they have succeeded in doing so.

I have loved all of Disturbed's albums and this one is easily five stars as well. But what you get here is a Disturbed that has shown more growth and continues to get better. Indestructible just may be my favorite album of theirs! Anyone who loves Disturbed, buy it! Anyone who loves alternative rock and metal, give this a shot, you will find something to enjoy here.
