The Chicago-based band Disturbed have extraordinarily become one of the USA biggest metal bands. Lacking the melodic know-how of peers such as Linkin Park and even Slipknot, the group have consistently failed to make any headway outside their own country. Thanks also to their rent-an-idiotic-quote singer Dave Draiman, the band have received a number of severe write-ups in the British music press, while their attrocious pre-teen lyrics and generic metal noise are likely to appeal only to the try-hard depressive 12-year-olds that refuse to look beyond major label output.
