    What really sets Disturbed apart from other 21st century metal acts is their ability to consistently re-package and resell their sound in a way that avoids redundancy.

    There are enough brains and brawn to make this an "Asylum" any head-banger would be crazy to avoid.

    Early metal bands drew inspiration from the netherworld, but on the fifth album from Chicago hard-rock band Disturbed, all the demons live within.

    This is an excellent album that any hard rock or metal fan will enjoy. Every song is well-written with deep metaphorical meaning, sometimes scary. Highly recommended.… Expand

    Disturbed is my favorite band of all time. I picked this album up day 1 and was looking really forward to it, but was skeptical because "another way to die" is not their best work by a long shot. The album is better than I expected but out of their 5 studio albums, I rate this one 4 out of 5. This album is not bad in any way, just not as memorable as others. All opinions are different so I'll show my order of favorite albums. 1. The Sickness, 2. Indestructible, 3. 10,000 Fists, 4. Asylum, 5. Believe.… Expand
