disturbed hiatus

I love Disturbed as well, not a big fan of The Sickness, but I love all their albums from Believe onward. I do really like Draiman's side-project Device, so there is that. I would love to see them make another album, but I'd rather them take their time to make one awesome album instead of a couple rushed albums.

I don't mean to offend anyone and I am breaking my rule of "if you have nothing nice to say, say nothing" but I couldn't help myself, Disturbed are like a boil on my arse.  One of the worst "metal" bands I have encountered.

I don't want to start a flame war but I don't understand how so many people like this band.

I don't want to start a flame war but I don't understand how so many people like this band.   Ha ha I contemplated writing something in the same vein, but changed my mind (something about a hurrah for an indefinite hiatus). I guess we both come off as a bit ignorant with opinions like that .   I don´t know if it´s a generation thing too (I´ve noticed we´re about the same age), but there´s a lot of metal music released in the late nineties/early 00s that I have a hard time relating to. Call it NU-metal or what you want, I usually don´t appreciate the angst filled approach of many of those artists. And the flirtation with pop and especially rap doesn´t go Down well with me either. There are exceptions though and in retrospect I´ve found out that I actually enjoy an artists like System of a Down quite a bit, even though I didn´t back then.

Yeah it could be considered a bit of an ignorant opinion, but this is a band I have listened to a fair number of times it's not like I have heard just a couple of songs on the radio.  I really don't appreciate them at all, and I get we all have different tastes.  I hope I haven't offended anyone because I know music taste is like your political opinion, its a pretty personal thing. 

I guess you are right it will be a generation thing, I don't know any Metalheads my age that like Disturbed.

System are another band I don't get either.  There are some things that are meant to be together, like oxygen and breathing , rap and metal aren't one of those things.

I agree, Rage Against the Machine is the only rap metal band I enjoy. Although I do think Pain of Salvation combined it well on Scarsick. I am a bit confused though with System being mentioned along with rap, I've never heard any rap in SoaD

Yeah I get that. It´s somehow hard to relate to singers who are actors too. I´ve only seen half an episode of the crime sceries Ice I is in (I´m not big on crime/police tv-series), so it´s not a problem for me.
