    Frontman David Draiman shows that he is an ample singer, refraining from the quirky vocal squallings that graced Sickness for a more straight-ahead croon.

    Comes with the same muscular, confrontational power that made The Sickness so infectiously exciting, but twists things just enough to make the second time sounds as fresh as the first.

    One of the best hard rock albums of 2002.

The entire album contains very deep lyrics and is a little less heavy than Disturbed's other albums, but fantastic nonetheless. I personally recommend "Rise," "Prayer," and "Believe" as my favorite songs off of this album.… Full Review »
