  • Summary: This is the fourth album for the Chicago-based metal band.
Score distribution:
  1. Positive: 3 out of 6
  2. Negative: 0 out of 6
  1. The group backs it up with a forceful sonic fusillade that recalls Disturbed's 2000 debut, "The Sickness," while doing away with some of the melodic niceties that crept into "Ten Thousand Fists" and 2002's "Believe," right down to Draiman's jungle animal vocals.
  2. While Indestructible doesn't meddle with the melodic hard-hitting Pantera-inspired formula that fueled its predecessors, the dreaded nu-metal tag that followed the band out of the turn of the century seems wholly eradicated.
  3. The album features a great number of their best songs to date, a couple expected stinkers, and some expected and unexpected lyricism.
  4. In failing to take up the sword as they should, therefore, they wind up sounding a little lost on Indestructible, stabbing their weapons without any reasons behind each parry, setting up vague agendas they cannot follow through on. Despite this, it’s still a reliably solid, passable hard-rock soundtrack for 2008.

  1. This album makes you feel the bass drum pounding into your chest and as the lyrics truly make anyone feel indestructible. This has to be my favorite album of all time. My itunes library has over 3000 listens recorded of "Indestructible". To Disturbed- great job. To potential listeners- don't deny yourself this masterpiece. Expand

    I thought the band was very solid on this album, especially the drums and guitars. However you can tell Draiman is on the downward spiral, lacking impressive vocals and interesting lyrics. Expand
  3. This album is alright but it could have been better, but i really liked it. The album made my top 10's but Asylum is still really far ahead. My favorite song on this album is Inside the fire, the song meaning reached my inner being. One thumb up, One thumb down. Expand

    Oh boy, more generic mainstream rock, how fun. This gives metal a bad name, if you can even call it metal.
