By the time Disturbed
released their fifth and most recent album, Asylum, in summer of 2010, fans pretty much
had an idea of what a Disturbed album would sound liked; David Draiman’s growl of a singing voice and Dan Donegan’s heavy and sometimes over-computer processed guitar licks
on top of many different electronic sounds that only a production studio could
muster. There were definite differences between each album, but by the time
Asylum came out, the band just sounded uninspired and unwilling to really try
anything new. To no surprise the band would go on “hiatus” approximately a year
later.
