Sound: Other critics have been taken in by Disturbed's claims to a new sound, or at least something new, different, creative even. This is very much the case... for the first two or three tracks. One of those is an instrumental track, and that is hardly circumstantial. Is it the absence of frontman David Draiman's voice, or is Remnants merely an innocently misleading beginning to an album of mediocrity...

Sound: Disturbed formed in Chicago back in 1997 when long-time friends Dan Donegan (guitar), Mike Wengren (drums), and Fuzz (bass) met singer David Draiman and convinced him to join them. The band recorded two separate demo EPs and sent them to every possible record company. The idea behind it was to show record companies that they were serious guys and not some loosers happened to record a couple of songs...

Sound: The soudn is heavy, plenty of guitars, and David Draimen seems like he has a lot of pent up rage inside. These are all good things. Anyways, I first heard them a few years ago, unknown as to who it was. I watched an anime movie a friend loaned me, and I heard Stupify for the first time. I would watch the same part over and over just to listen to the minute or so of the song...

Sound: Dan Donegan's recent review with Ultimate-Guitar.com incontrovertibly sheds some light on the mindset with which Disturbed approached this album sonically. Attributing the album's darker vibe to singer-David Draiman's-'string of bad luck', songs as ominous Haunted certainly corroborate such claims. Having said that, Donegan's assertion is hardly maintained throughout the album; Disturbed continues to retain the pop sensibilities that were first employed on Ten Thousand Fists...

Summary: Quick! Which Disturbed album is the song "Bound" from? 13 of 13 thought this review was well written If you're like me, and had to look up the answer to the above question, then Disturbed's announcement from earlier this year that they would go on hiatus for the entirety of 2012 probably managed to slip clean underneath your radar...

Sound: It's a common assumption that everybody knows the Disturbed sound, but that's not really a fair assessment of the band. From the raw early days of "The Sickness", to the mature sound of albums like "Indestructible" and "Asylum", Disturbed didn't just develop a sound overnight: it was cultivated over a period of ten years...

Sound: This album is a huge step up from what The Sickness was. This time, the guys leaned more towards the heavy metal side. The first CD was more effect/electronic driven. This time around, guitars dominate the songs. There are tons of badass riffs, such as those to Rise, Prayer, Remember, and others. And I know I complain about this all the time, but the only things missing are solos, although the choruses to songs like Remember and Awaken sound kinda like solo-type things...

If you're already a fan of Disturbed, chances are you will have heard a couple of these tracks already. The Lost Children is a collection of B-sides and bonus songs spanning the bands 11 year career, and quite frankly it's awesome...

"Far better than the usual 'odds-n-sods' sets of its nature, 'The Lost Children' feels very much like a brand-new Disturbed record, full of the powerful riffs, rhythms and growling vocals the band's fans have enjoyed for over a decade." When a band breaks up -- or in the latest parlance, "goes on indefinite hiatus" -- you can pretty much count on at least one posthumous release...
