Disturbed is this generation's AC/DC. Not that AC/DC's party-anthem hard rocking tunes have anything in common with Disturbed's Nu/Alt Metal Armageddon sound, but they do have this thing in common:
the ability to consistently re-package and resell their sound in a way that avoids redundancy*
When you hear a AC/DC song on the radio you are very sure its a AC/DC song, when you hear a Disturbed song on the radio you are very sure its a Disturbed song.
AC/DC and Disturbed does what many bands wish they could do.**
Take a look at Disturbed's
newest album , its essentially the same Disturbed you know but still sounds like they are progressing, that's why they are one of the very few Nu Metal bands to survive, I hope they make another album since I bet it will be even better than "Asylum"!
