Free Music Notes for Ten Thousand Fists
Free Music Review: Freakin' loved it!
Hit: 5 Stars
Pure metal heads may again call me a poser - I'll take you in the pit regardless.
This may be Disturbed's best. It has everything I love about the band, and it works excellently. Rhythms change up in each song, building on one another, which is marked departure from simple verse-chorus-verse-bridge-chorus-end structures that classic progressive rock is known for.
Each track stands as a message, a work and an effort in its own right. Tracks on "The Sickness" are memorable for vocal dexterity and riff. Tracks on "Believe" are memorable for content and a sharp/flat resonance that almost shakes you on first hearing it. Tracks on "Ten Thousand Fists" you will know by the coalescing of instrument into harmony with a precision that is utterly gripping.
Each instrument lends its own voice in its own right but in a way that blends every player together.
Draiman's powerful voice is allowed to growl, grunt and sing with emotive and viscous resonance (yes, viscous, not viscious, though that he can be).
Donegan's guitar work shines brilliantly here because of and through the layered melodies and the brilliant bass and drum work.
Wengren's drumming is simply awesome - the drums are their own character. It stands out as its own persona better than any other album (even than "Indestructible").
Moyer, though a newcomer, lends his basswork excellently though he's not prominently heard. Such is the bane of good metal bass-players: the guitar can sound tinny without them, but there isn't much chance to stand out unless you want to be compared with Geddy Lee from Rush.
Thematically, "Ten Thousand Fists" is more energetic and may not seem as personal of an album to the band. Much of the lyrical work on "Indestructible", for instance, is deeply personal to Draiman, which gives the album a more intimate feel at times (which doesn't always feel reflected in the underlying melody and harmony). "Ten Thousand Fists" on the other hand is no soul-search. It's pure rock. It's a soundtrack to action itself - and would be incredible live.
Ten Thousand Fists Poster
On their third album, Disturbed don't as much break out of expected patterns as show their potential for doing so. Fans eager for more of the band's patented fist-thumping gruel will take satisfaction in the album's opening (and anthemic) title track, plus "I'm Alive" and "Forgiven." The band shines brightest in the record's early moments, where "Deify," "Guarded," "Just Stop," and "Stricken" demonstrate that this unit's capable of discovering a song's subtleties and crafting radio-ready choruses meant to uplift the souls of disenfranchised subdivision dwellers. The album isn't without its problems--come the halfway mark ("Sons of Plunder") vocalist David Draiman and his mates lapse into the expected, with a series of songs that are good but rarely as remarkable as those found in Act I. That said, Ten Thousand Fists ultimately reminds us that Disturbed refuse to relent in their journey toward greatness. --Jedd BeaudoinAfter a triple-platinum debut and platinum follow-up, Disturbed fuses the brutality and darkness of 2000's The Sickness with the added melodic nature and complexity of 2002's Believe for album number three. Aggressive, relentless and intense-yet at the same time transcendent-Ten Thousand Fists is a rock sledgehammer.
