Editorial Reviews

Product Description

After 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.

Amazon.com

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 problemscome 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 Beaudoin

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.

Cut above the rest

I 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.

I first heard Disturbed on the radio with their cover of Genesis "Land of Confusion." I'm a big Genesis fan, though not so much of the Invisible Touch era, and had to admit Disturbed's version of the track is better and made me reconsider the song. Later, I heard another track (I think it was "Just Stop"). I wrote down some of the lyrics and looked it up and, alas! it was by the same band on the same CD! Well, I better buy it, and I am glad I did. These guys rock! The vocals are superb and, lyrically, their tracks are interesting with a lot of meat to them. I recommend this CD to anyone into power metal. It is heavy yet very accessible (half the tracks are under 4 furious minutes).

"Ten Thousand Fists" (3:32): Explosive opener with pounding drums! Sets a powerful image: "You will remember the night you were struck by the sight of ten thousand fists in the air."

"Just Stop" (3:43): Excellent! A lot of passion, especially at the chorus: "all that you want is to criticize something for nothing..." Interesting theme: "enough of the limitless critical comments...[and] pseudo-involvement."

"Guarded" (3:20): My favorite track. There is so much passion in the vocals and the guitar riffs. To me, it is very moving yet rocks. Great line: "why does it sound like the devil is laughing." Is guarding one's self from relationships the work of the devil? Interesting idea.

"Deify" (4:17): Probably my second favorite track on this CD. It flat out rocks! Excellent lyrics: "It seems so clear now what I must do / you're no immortal, I won't let them / deify you / they view you as the new messiah / deify you / renew belief in some demented man." The guitar riff at the bridge really brings up the intensity. They have clips of George W. Bush before the track, but the lyrics are not specifically about the president.

"Stricken" (4:05): Another rocker with plenty of passion and excellent vocals: "When the heart is cold, there's no hope."

"I'm Alive" (4:41): Starts out slower yet intense. It rocks but is more restrained and deliberate.

"Sons of Plunder" (3:47): This track picks up the tempo similar to most of the other songs here. Lyrically, this track is less political. It comes down to a lower pop cultural level about sheep following trends that have been done before: "as the countless numbers hunger for worldwide renown / all the p*mping sons of plunder will roll up their sleeves."

"Overburdened" (5:57): The longest track. Beautiful bass/guitar and vocals at the beginning, then picks up but not losing its beauty. "If only I was born another time / h*ll is still overburdened / I must stand and wait in line / h*ll is still overburdened / how have I been so determined malign?"

"Decadence" (3:24): An OK track. Nothing too special but it has that Disturbed sound, so it rocks. Not many lyrics.

"Forgiven" (4:12): Vocalist David Draiman really takes over this track. I don't know where he takes a breath sometimes. He has a lot of stamina (as he shows off big time on "Pain Redefined").

"Land of Confusion" (4:49): The classic Genesis track never sounded so good. As a lifelong Genesis fan, I can say Disturbed does this track more than justice. I've never enjoyed this track more (not even watching the Spitting Image Ronald Reagan video). Excellent vocals. I like how he elongates the verses.

"Sacred Lie" (3:05): Accessible rocker.

"Pain Redefined" (4:17): Talk about vocal stamina! Does this guy ever take a breath? Incredible! Very impressive. The song also kicks. My third or fourth favorite on this CD.

"Avarice" (2:56): The shortest track but it rocks so hard, it doesn't seem that short. It even has a nice bridge. "Politics and evil / all one and the same."

Ten Thousand Fists - Disturbed

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 4, 2012

Verified Purchase

The general themes of the album are protest, defiance/rebellion etc. The only real "weakness" is that most of the songs do have a similar sound and feel. That said, Disturbed are great band, with one of the best metal vocalists in David Draiman and Dan Donegan contributes the odd searing guitar lead, in addition to his normal crushing riffs.

While most tracks individually are very listenable, few really stick in your mind, other than the title track and their cover of the Genesis song Land of Confusion. I'd class I'm Alive and Overburdened as the other standout tracks - unfortunately there is a fair amount of "filler" on TTF too. While there are changes of tempo, the overall feel and style remain very much the same. If they'd cut the track listing from 14 to 10 and left out some of the more generic songs, this would have been a better album.

1. Ten Thousand Fists - 9/10
2. Just Stop - 7/10
3. Guarded - 7/10
4. Deify - 7/10
5. Stricken - 8/10

Awesome Music

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 5, 2009

Disturbed are a great band and this CD just adds to my collection of their music.

If you like this i would recommend:
the sickness, Believe, Indestructible.

Disturbed have some of the best metal music that is around at the moment. Unfortunately i think the price of ten thousand fists and believe is quite high.

If you want to buy indestructible and the sickness i would recommend looking at your local HMV because i got mine there and they were both in the 2 for £10 section.

However amazon is better for the other 2 on price.

Brilliant album, if you know Disturbed then you should know this one even if you don't have it.
Naturally some tracks will stick out more than others but overall an excellent album and worth adding to your collection, especially if you are a fan.
