Respect to Dylan for standing by his opinion even in the face of Blayne’s admittedly accurate criticisms and general community feeling towards Disturbed. Good review
"It sounds like Disturbed is stumbling around in a room full of acoustic guitars looking for another sound of silence" Never has an analogy been so spot on.
No mention of the new Horrendous album?! C'mon guys! It's bloody amazing. (Also, I like the guy, Dylan. I think he's doing a great job on the channel.)
They'll probably have a year-end list for albums they missed and I hope Idol makes the cut, because it's probably my AOTY, if not at least in the top 5.
I didn't even know they were working on a new album...what a pleasant(?) surprise. BUT, Blayne and Dylan in the same video is what I've been waiting for.
I love this album so far. It's my mainstream guilty pleasure and they're still one of my favorite bands. Then I'll go back to death metal and other stuff you guys actually like. Oh, and symphonic metal.
I remember when their first record came out and some dude gave me the CD (probably from Napster or Kazaa ... ) and he was raving about it like he just heard Raining Blood for the first time. I put it in my stereo and I have hated them since. Never spoke to that guy again. Thanks for Castle recommendation Blayne! That shit is dope!
HOLD FAST I actually was impressed with their fist album and the whole Nu Metal movement because I was 13 AND that was my intro to metal....and then I discover 80s trash metal and never went back lol
Haha stupid, Disturbed got so big because their first album was actually brilliant. It’s the gradual decline leading up to this hot garbage that have pushed metal fans away.
This is the best tag team combination you guys have ever done. Great job! Keep it up Dylan you already climbed to the top of the best reviewers on this channel
I feel as though the band was up front before the album came out saying it was going to be a more acoustic album then their normal path. Of course the album was only okay, but i feel that people still weren't expecting what we got... me being one of them. Hoping to see what we will see from them down the road
Great review, as always! I couldn't agree more on Blane's skull rating. Also big thank you for mentioning Castle, never heard that name before but dude they are crazy good!
Friday and I get home from work super-early; still plenty of beer left in the fridge; load RUclips and there's a new Banger review. I don't even mind that it's Disturbed, today was a good day.
You guys are fucking amazing. Im a big Disturbed fan, but I think i find my rating of this album falling somewhere between both of you. Love you guys. Blayne, keep on riling people up. That shit is hilarious. You never let me down.
After having to hear new Disturbed, I IMMEDIATELY had to put on The Greatest Hit Of Disturbed. It was like therapy, and I feel better about myself for doing it.
Pretty good review. I was fairly disappointed with this new Disturbed album. I honestly hope Disturbed decides to tour and play 'The Sickness' album from start to finish in 2020 for the 20th anniversary. I'd rather see that than see them play new stuff.
I don’t know if it’s because we’re lockhorns deprived but i enjoyed the contrasting views on this album that provided for an interesting dialogue (locking horns XD). I consider myself to be similar to Dylan, i like disturbed and i’ve gotten into metal through gateway bands, but from the excerpts and summaries I’m not impressed with Disturbed’s latest effort so I agree with Blayne’s criticisms. Even though I haven’t listened to the album i’m wondering if Blayne’s rating was too harsh. I have a hard time believing that this album was worst than Machine head’s latest and Suicide Silence’s albums. In summary, BRING LOCKHORNS BACK! Skype people in and do lockhorns global!
I listened to it briefly and well, it's hard to judge. There is no cohesion in the album, as was mentioned. It's one mediocre song after another which could all carry a 1 1/2 too 2 1/2 star rating on their own, but that, in my eyes (and I think Blayne would agree with me here) simply doesn't equate a good (or not terrible in this case) album. Imo, even if the music is utter crap, an Album can easily carry a 2 star rating just on the musical progression and contrast within the Album. Sure, it's a harsh rating, but not unjustified.
Instantly clicked when i saw Blayne in the thumbnail after i read it was disturbed he was reviewing. Needed a real good laugh and he never dissapoints.
Blayne is THE MAN! I watch Banger TV's stuff whether it feautures Blayne in the episode or not, but damn it, Blayne just gets me grinning. I'd GLADLY buy him a few beers if I ever bump into him somewhere.
Like Blayne, born in mid 80's found friends that liked Sepultura and Slayer in the mid-90's by the time Disturbed and Mudvayne came out it was like baby metal.... well not "Baby Metal", but you know
I never understood the whole gateway band thing. I jumped right into the pool : Megadeth, Meshuggah, Fear Factory, Morbid Angel, Pantera, Marduk, 1349, Behemoth, Machinehead, Napalm Death, Kataklysm, Sepultura, Exodus, Arch Enemy, Hate Eternal, ETC. I listened to their discographies completely out of order also. I was just enjoying all types of metal. I never vibed with Disturbed or Numetal overall. It holds nostalgia value but thats it.
New album....suuucckkkksss!!! Its not even disturbed...its like a David Draiman ego project. They get into the recording studio and make "Are you Ready" which is a great song. Then David says he wants to make a softer song...ok. Then they make another song. And next thing you know 6 months later and the album is done and David is sitting alone in the recording studio like..."Hey guys listen to this" and hes all alone. The band had left months ago. The majority of the album sounds nothing like Disturbed or even a rock band. Hell my favorite song is the Sam de Jong remix...lol
I never thought I'd see Blayne review an album he'd want to review even less than Machine Head. But, here we are. Now, let's see him review the new Korn whenever it comes out
Just subscibed to the channel, its great to see people actually telling things as it is and not just panderring to the corperate big-wigs. Thanks for such an honest review of a album that i very nearly wasted my hard earned money on.
Great review for an album that honestly Banger should not be reviewing. There is a line of which somethings should be considered too mainstream for the channel.
Glad you liked the review. We know some viewers share your views but we consider it part of our job here to cover these records. Metal music is not just underground stuff.
I'd love to see more reviews of popular metal bands more often, rather than average death/black metal band #52 all the time. Gotta balance it out a little more often.
Good to see dylan in the video ...As the banger team wasnt actually having a prog person ....it was more death , doom , heavy and thrash and power...Now the team looks super complete.....Hail banger tv
You guys should totally put YOUR music out there. This album is amazing if you actually listen to it. Vocals especially are awesome. Ininvited guest is badass!!
Katatonia is a good gateway band. No harsh vocals and generally easy to digest, but still fucking fantastic. I always use them as a recommendation to get someone in to harder music or just better hard rock. They are good for showing butt rock fans the light...
"There's always a new basement." I cringed during every song clip but the review was fun. Dylan made for a good unwitting straight man to Blayne's jokes. As for Disturbed being a gateway band for some....well, if it make you happy but you don't have to sing about the first girl to give you a tug for the rest of your life.
it's very cute how dylan laughed at blayne's nonsense, id love to see yall do more side by side reviews! also cool to see polyphia get a shoutout! new levels new devils is excellent
every once in a while it's good to have a "gateway band" discussion as a balm for the butthurt that comes from valid criticism. good on you guys for having this discussion in an appropriate context - excellent review. i, too, am a fan of *some* early disturbed - and i think you guys nailed every relevant point in regards to this band/album.
Why didn't you tell me Soulfly just released their new album? Also, did you guys review the new High On Fire? Disturbed is a little too extreme for my liking...
The great disturbed era ended with asylum. Anything after that did nothing for me. And it breaks my heart to say that because I used to really love them.
Everyone ive ever known whos into underground music uses Disturbed as a baseline for all jokes about metal & as an example of what style of metal not to play.
I love this album, also you gotta listen to those lyrics a bit closely, No More does NOT talk about society going to shit but about war and how the government funds it and the song basically calls for an action to stop that, hence the "No more defending the lies Behind the never-ending war, It's time to make them realize, We will no longer be their whore" part of the song, the "whore" would be a reference to basically us whose money is used for funding war. Most if not all of the songs in this album have deep meanings about what currently goes on in the world and also what many people are going through in their lives.
The problem I have with Disturbed's cover is that for one it is a legendary song; It feels dark and has so many dimensions to it and it is played quite simply through the genres of old school folk music. What makes this work is that it is called the sound of "Scilence" not the sound of an epic orchestra... Disturbed.
Well I, for one, have loved Disturbed since the first album, and think they've only grown more amazing over the years. I love this album, four and a half out of five skulls from me, and totally appreciate them experimenting with a softer sound. Would be better though if things were arranged differently, and there was a bit of taper from the harder songs into the softer ones.
I love them too and David Draiman is a super cool person and great singer. This just wasn't a favorite for me cuz of like you said the way it was arranged is messed up
I personally would have added Sentenced - The Cold White Light as a record to someone who is wanting to break through the gateway. Radio friendly alterna-metal with dark themes, as you all probably know already. Showed it to a buddy who's favorite band is A7x, and he really dug it, if that says anything.
Always fun to watch the Banger staff and faithful RUclips followers get their collective thongs in a twist over an album they don't like from a genre they don't like. It's like a trainwreck for me...I...just...can't...turn...away...Carry on.
Wow for the first time in a long time I am agreeing with blayne. Like this was a black album in the way it was so mainstream it seemed uninteresting because no song stood out as it should've in the disturbed tone. Would recommend checking the album though. Mediocre at best but could've been a lot better if they didn't make a follow up album to just the song "sound of silence"
Welcome to the crew Dylan! Great job on the first one. Also, fuck everyone hating for real on disturbed.. I dislike em as much as the next guy but they are still a part of the metal scene, and like stated, a gateway to the depths of the genre so why would anyone complain about that
great review guys. Like Dylan, Disturbed was a gateway for me to metal, also slipknot, korn and system of a down and I still like these bands very much. The new record is good, but there are too many soft songs on it, especially when I thought "hey let's check out the two bonus songs from the deluxe edition" and then "ah well, also soft songs". Watch you burn could be an amazing song, when it was a heavy one! But in this version there is a lack of power, of real emotion and it sounds like a soap or drama opening to a series, like here in the video I had to laugh xD. But don't get me wrong there are awesome songs on the record, like "stronger on your own" are you ready and my favorite is even the softest one, hold on to memories. The lyrics there are so strong and go deep under your skin, that was very emotional. Overall they changed, but there are still the typical disturbed elements.
"I hate corporate music" --this attitude was very helpful. I fell into metal, then thrash, then hardcore punk, then grindcore in a relatively short period of time -- back around '86-'87. Midlife comes around & I find myself getting more into death metal & grindcore than ever before. I found this channel just a few months ago & have been quite impressed with y'all. So of course I had to watch this video -- because what the fuck? Pretty sure I understand, but still have a bit of lingering what the fuck aftertaste. Tequila & M&M's should take care of that...

Blayne reviewing a Disturbed album is something I never knew I needed
"...then why are there 3 more?"
Lmfao
You can hear someone from the crew laughing behind the scenes when he says that
Nice contrast between the reviewers. The review was interesting to watch
"I will not be getting up." Blaine at his finest.
I love Dylan cracking up every single time Blayne makes a joke
Respect to Dylan for standing by his opinion even in the face of Blayne’s admittedly accurate criticisms and general community feeling towards Disturbed. Good review
"It sounds like Disturbed is stumbling around in a room full of acoustic guitars looking for another sound of silence"
Never has an analogy been so spot on.
Blayne and Dylan are awesome. I love these tag team reviews. Keep up the good work guys!
No mention of the new Horrendous album?! C'mon guys! It's bloody amazing. (Also, I like the guy, Dylan. I think he's doing a great job on the channel.)
They'll probably have a year-end list for albums they missed and I hope Idol makes the cut, because it's probably my AOTY, if not at least in the top 5.
Nah it wasn't that good, some would say it was Horrendous
It was mediocre IMO. Proggy. The new prog guy should review it. Not as good as their old stuff.
The album got a shout out mention in one of the more recent review videos. I think Brad was the featured reviewer
new Horrendous is AOTY for many. It is indeed very good
I didn't even know they were working on a new album...what a pleasant(?) surprise. BUT, Blayne and Dylan in the same video is what I've been waiting for.
I saw Disturbed in the title and Blayne in the thumbnail...then I knew this was gonna be fun!
Should have reviewed Ritual.
Agree, are we actually going to ignore that album?
REVIEW RITUAL
Ritual is badass
Agree
Dylan, Thanks allot for your suggestion on Nothing More , great band and thanks to you i'm going to see them when they come to town.
I love this album so far. It's my mainstream guilty pleasure and they're still one of my favorite bands.
Then I'll go back to death metal and other stuff you guys actually like. Oh, and symphonic metal.
I remember when their first record came out and some dude gave me the CD (probably from Napster or Kazaa ... ) and he was raving about it like he just heard Raining Blood for the first time. I put it in my stereo and I have hated them since. Never spoke to that guy again.
Thanks for Castle recommendation Blayne! That shit is dope!
Raining blood is shit.. you'd stop talking to someone over 1 band.. fucking stupid...
HOLD FAST I actually was impressed with their fist album and the whole Nu Metal movement because I was 13 AND that was my intro to metal....and then I discover 80s trash metal and never went back lol
Fear is a good song from that album.
Well... You're stupid.
Haha stupid, Disturbed got so big because their first album was actually brilliant. It’s the gradual decline leading up to this hot garbage that have pushed metal fans away.
Although I can't stand Disturbed, I salute Banger TV for not being musical elitists and truly reviewing all styles of heavy music. Well done.
Feel sorry for 'Requiem for a dream' Jared Leto having to argue on the affirmative for Disturbed. that was tough. Blayne killed as always
Insect Politics “Reqiun for a Dream” J Leto lmaoooo... I can’t unsee that now! Thanks mate.
Disturbed belongs in the lost episode of Metal Evolution: Soccer Mom Metal.
Misanthropic IX They make what I like to call “WWE PPV Music” lol!!!!
more like high school mallcore poser rock.
using the term "metal" very lightly there
the band has stated several times over the years that they are a rock or hard rock band, not metal.
Even my mom thinks this album sucks.
@BangerTV this is a winning combo for tag team reviews. Let’s see more of this
Was hoping for a Soulfly review
Blayne is everyone's spirit animal.
This is the best tag team combination you guys have ever done. Great job! Keep it up Dylan you already climbed to the top of the best reviewers on this channel
Blayne's reviews on bands he hates are the best. Can't decide which was funnier, this or his cradle of filth review
I like how the tag team hosts represent different generations, while also having sub-genre biases. Makes for more interesting reviews.
I feel as though the band was up front before the album came out saying it was going to be a more acoustic album then their normal path. Of course the album was only okay, but i feel that people still weren't expecting what we got... me being one of them. Hoping to see what we will see from them down the road

You guys are fucking amazing. Im a big Disturbed fan, but I think i find my rating of this album falling somewhere between both of you. Love you guys. Blayne, keep on riling people up. That shit is hilarious. You never let me down.
Dylan trying not to laugh is the funniest thing abt this video.
Great review, boys. Kudos.
After having to hear new Disturbed, I IMMEDIATELY had to put on The Greatest Hit Of Disturbed. It was like therapy, and I feel better about myself for doing it.
Lol that parody is great... I sometimes have a hard time listening to Disturbed because the parady is so true, most songs follow similar structure.
Pretty good review. I was fairly disappointed with this new Disturbed album. I honestly hope Disturbed decides to tour and play 'The Sickness' album from start to finish in 2020 for the 20th anniversary. I'd rather see that than see them play new stuff.

I've been a fan from the start i liked this album alot glad i bought it
I'm glad my metal gateway was Master of Puppets and South of Heaven and not "Owwww ah ah ah ah".
The Great Southern Trendkill here - not too bad either :)
Like Blayne, born in mid 80's found friends that liked Sepultura and Slayer in the mid-90's by the time Disturbed and Mudvayne came out it was like baby metal.... well not "Baby Metal", but you know

Love this video, and despite my overwhelming agreement with Blayne, Dylan made some great points. I'm still laughing, so I'll watch it again!
That new Outre Tombe record is so fuckin' gnarly. Thank you.
New album....suuucckkkksss!!!
Its not even disturbed...its like a David Draiman ego project. They get into the recording studio and make "Are you Ready" which is a great song. Then David says he wants to make a softer song...ok.

Glad you liked the review. We know some viewers share your views but we consider it part of our job here to cover these records. Metal music is not just underground stuff.
honestly, you guys should ignore the underground stuff just because it'll piss off the hipsters.
I'd love to see more reviews of popular metal bands more often, rather than average death/black metal band #52 all the time. Gotta balance it out a little more often.
@@joshlauze1944 they dont even review that many death metal or black metal bands
They do it because it's good for the "comedy" aspect of the channel.
My wife loves Grey's and pop/dance music and she rolled her eyes at that clip. Thought they should know.
Disturbed + Grays Anatomy? Jesus what’s next.. Metallica and Lady Gaga? 😝
Cradle of Filth and Taylor Swift
At least Gaga is better than Disturbed.
Guys, the joke.
Is that Metallica actually performed with lady gaga
uff
Good to see dylan in the video ...As the banger team wasnt actually having a prog person ....it was more death , doom , heavy and thrash and power...Now the team looks super complete.....Hail banger tv
"Disturbed for me was kind of that band where it sounded like a dude was banging a duck"
-Blayne "God" Smith
You guys should totally put YOUR music out there. This album is amazing if you actually listen to it. Vocals especially are awesome. Ininvited guest is badass!!
Love seeing my name at the end!
Please more Dylan losing his shit to things Blayne says! Absoluteley Histerical! Great Review!
“We wrote every song to be a hit”
See, this is what happens when you try too hard.
Jesus Christ, Blayne...I thought we were friends. Guess this review answers that. Damn.
Nobody should be exposed to this record.
How can you list Katatonia and disturbed in the same sentence? They're nothing alike
Alex Fout Yeah, what the actual ____? Disturbed are nu metal, Katatonia are doom metal and they’re actually worth your time.
Katatonia is a good gateway band. No harsh vocals and generally easy to digest, but still fucking fantastic. I always use them as a recommendation to get someone in to harder music or just better hard rock. They are good for showing butt rock fans the light...
@@DraugrGrog no harsh vocals? Um dude have you listened to their first two albums?
Of course. Have you listened to everything else in their discography? Ha. You get what I'm saying.
Katatonia is a gateway band? Seriously? Lol.
Necrovortex is one of the funnest albums of the year. Great shout out.
One of bangers best reviews, great job!
100% agree! Great review guys. 👍🏻
"There's always a new basement." I cringed during every song clip but the review was fun. Dylan made for a good unwitting straight man to Blayne's jokes. As for Disturbed being a gateway band for some....well, if it make you happy but you don't have to sing about the first girl to give you a tug for the rest of your life.
it's very cute how dylan laughed at blayne's nonsense, id love to see yall do more side by side reviews! also cool to see polyphia get a shoutout! new levels new devils is excellent
If they had a comeback album could we get a go away album?
YEAAAAAAA
NOTHING MORE got a shout out from BANGER!
The self titled album is a damn masterpiece ❤
every once in a while it's good to have a "gateway band" discussion as a balm for the butthurt that comes from valid criticism. good on you guys for having this discussion in an appropriate context - excellent review. i, too, am a fan of *some* early disturbed - and i think you guys nailed every relevant point in regards to this band/album.
"hey guys the sound of silence cover was really popular so lets make an album full of songs like it" - Disturbed 2018
Why didn't you tell me Soulfly just released their new album?
Also, did you guys review the new High On Fire? Disturbed is a little too extreme for my liking...
Ayyy nothing more, nice shout out
Katatonia is excellent gateway metal. If you start with their most recent albums and go backwards you'll eventually get to Opeth.
The great disturbed era ended with asylum. Anything after that did nothing for me. And it breaks my heart to say that because I used to really love them.
System of a Down was my gateway band.
That acoustic song in this video was hilarious, can't believe that's supposed to be a serious song
When is Lock Horns coming back? Did it get banned because of Cannibal Cam`s shorts?
Blayne and Dylan are a fantastic duo! Great review!
Everyone ive ever known whos into underground music uses Disturbed as a baseline for all jokes about metal & as an example of what style of metal not to play.
Strong agree
Smart musicians think alike. :)
I love this album, also you gotta listen to those lyrics a bit closely, No More does NOT talk about society going to shit but about war and how the government funds it and the song basically calls for an action to stop that, hence the "No more defending the lies
Behind the never-ending war,
It's time to make them realize, We will no longer be their whore" part of the song, the "whore" would be a reference to basically us whose money is used for funding war. Most if not all of the songs in this album have deep meanings about what currently goes on in the world and also what many people are going through in their lives.
Disturbed’s songs have variation.
Also don’t stop at ten thousand fists, asylum, indestructible, and the lost children are also great.
I'd compare Evolution to ReLoad more than the Black album
Agreed
I finally figured out Blayne's review style, it consists of constantly seeming like you need to take a dump.
The problem I have with Disturbed's cover is that for one it is a legendary song; It feels dark and has so many dimensions to it and it is played quite simply through the genres of old school folk music. What makes this work is that it is called the sound of "Scilence" not the sound of an epic orchestra... Disturbed.
Well I, for one, have loved Disturbed since the first album, and think they've only grown more amazing over the years. I love this album, four and a half out of five skulls from me, and totally appreciate them experimenting with a softer sound. Would be better though if things were arranged differently, and there was a bit of taper from the harder songs into the softer ones.
I love them too and David Draiman is a super cool person and great singer. This just wasn't a favorite for me cuz of like you said the way it was arranged is messed up
I can't stop listening to the new Outre-Tombe album. Shout out to the shout out
Blayne dude! You are so Hilarious with your reactions. Keep it up! Let's it some beers if you are ever in Mtl :)
Blane dude, you gona review the upcoming PESTE NOIRE to even out the ideological scale after that Neck Beard Death-camp caper you pulled ?!
My gateway heavy metal bands
Disturbed
Godsmack
Metallica
I personally would have added Sentenced - The Cold White Light as a record to someone who is wanting to break through the gateway. Radio friendly alterna-metal with dark themes, as you all probably know already. Showed it to a buddy who's favorite band is A7x, and he really dug it, if that says anything.
First was introduced to Disturbed in person. About 10 feet, or maybe even less from them when they were on stage at Ozzfest 2000.
dylan looks like agent cooper from twin peaks gone under cover as a metal head.
Always fun to watch the Banger staff and faithful RUclips followers get their collective thongs in a twist over an album they don't like from a genre they don't like. It's like a trainwreck for me...I...just...can't...turn...away...Carry on.
Dude, Born in 86, thats the same year that i started going to see bands play live. You make me feel OLD LOL
Say what you want.. but Draiman was great in Californication.
Evan Handler and Draiman HAVE to be the same dude.
Wow for the first time in a long time I am agreeing with blayne. Like this was a black album in the way it was so mainstream it seemed uninteresting because no song stood out as it should've in the disturbed tone. Would recommend checking the album though. Mediocre at best but could've been a lot better if they didn't make a follow up album to just the song "sound of silence"
Is that song i Just Died In Your Arms Tonight? HAHAHA!
🤣🤣🤣 You two need to do more reviews together, that was great!!!
Nice Brewtal Beerfest shirt! Welcome to Pittsburgh!
hahaha genius video, I died after The Master of Puppets thing
So when the new tool album comes out wil 3-4 of you guys tag team review it?
Dylan rocking the Astaroth shirt!!
Welcome to the crew Dylan! Great job on the first one. Also, fuck everyone hating for real on disturbed.. I dislike em as much as the next guy but they are still a part of the metal scene, and like stated, a gateway to the depths of the genre so why would anyone complain about that
great review guys. Like Dylan, Disturbed was a gateway for me to metal, also slipknot, korn and system of a down and I still like these bands very much. The new record is good, but there are too many soft songs on it, especially when I thought "hey let's check out the two bonus songs from the deluxe edition" and then "ah well, also soft songs". Watch you burn could be an amazing song, when it was a heavy one! But in this version there is a lack of power, of real emotion and it sounds like a soap or drama opening to a series, like here in the video I had to laugh xD. But don't get me wrong there are awesome songs on the record, like "stronger on your own" are you ready and my favorite is even the softest one, hold on to memories. The lyrics there are so strong and go deep under your skin, that was very emotional.
Overall they changed, but there are still the typical disturbed elements.
I legit couldn’t finish watch you burn. It was so bad
Disturbed is to Metal what The Black Eyed Peas is to Metal
"I hate corporate music" --this attitude was very helpful. I fell into metal, then thrash, then hardcore punk, then grindcore in a relatively short period of time -- back around '86-'87. Midlife comes around & I find myself getting more into death metal & grindcore than ever before. I found this channel just a few months ago & have been quite impressed with y'all. So of course I had to watch this video -- because what the fuck? Pretty sure I understand, but still have a bit of lingering what the fuck aftertaste. Tequila & M&M's should take care of that...
