Regardless of the album being good or not, when you compare Disturbed and their music to other bands, for example and pay no mind to the difference of their genre, Paradise Lost...pick any album from their discography, to before they were any representation of Death Metal or Doom, any album from Paradise Lost's discography would show anyone with an appreciation to what a good 'Metal' album sounds like, because what Disturbed has always played was a sorry excuse of a band wanting to be both Pantera and Iron Maiden at the same time, but Disturbed can't pull that off and never will.
That being said! I have the new Disturbed album too, but I did not buy it, it was 'gifted' to me. I've listened to it front to back, twice now, and it's not far beyond average, matter of fact it's just average. The Vengeful One was a song I felt was a lot better than many other songs in the bands catalog, and the new album does have other good tracks on it, but it failed to hold my attention, and it has been the case for me ever since their very first album hit my ears in middle school. Any way you slice it, Disturbed is an average band with capable musicians choosing to go the easy route of playing radio friendly music.
As for my recent Metal 'purchase', I have the new Soilwork album, The Ride Majestic. That's an album I can recommend.
