WIN? The most awful single we've heard all year!

by Mike Diver [Edit this content] ▾ 86 comments 16:45 October 6th, 2006

And it might just be the worst thing we've heard in our six-year history...

It's little wonder Genesis are reforming, what with talentless pop-metal monkeys covering their songs and trashing them into hollow nut-sacks of their former selves.

DiS took a chance on Disturbed's version of the proggers' 'Land Of Confusion' (released last week), originally released by the then-Phil-Collins-fronted outfit in 1986 (it got to number 15 in the charts, y'know), and slipped it into the stereo. "How awful could it be?", thought we. Nothing, nothing, could have prepared us for this awful aural abortion of a 'song'. Eeerrrrgghhhh.

So we want rid of it. Forever. So we're offering YOU, dear DiS readers, to celebrate our sixth birthday with a frenzy of CD-related violence. We'll send you this single - already slightly damaged (we had to snap the case to get the CD out, really!) - and you can destroy it however you see fit. Just so long as you document the destruction using what the kids are calling 'photography'. And send us the images.

Just e-mail mike DOT diver AT drownedinsound DOT com explaining how you'll take this piece of shit excuse for popular music apart, physically; include your address and we'll maybe post it your way. For you to smash the absolute crap out of it, of course; anyone feeling sympathetic will be banned from DiS, forever. The funnier and more inventive your obliteration of this compact disc, the better - if said act involves defacing an image of David Draiman's amusing face (pictured), all the better.

DiS is six. We shouldn't have to tolerate 'music' that's this shit and yet ridiculously popular. You can help us beat these jokers down, crushing their super-selling albums into splinters.

C'mon, do it...

You would have to pay me even to physically touch this.

True story: One of my friends is a good mate of Disturbed. So one time after I spent, oh, about 20 minutes denigrating them, he promised to relay my concerns to the band. A week later I get an e-mail - it's a picture of the singer and guitarist giving me the finger. Put me in a good mood all day.

David Draiman a good lyricist?

bullshit

"Scratch my itch
Give me your power glowing, juicy flowing red hot, meaning of life
It's not enough to have a little piece
I want the whole damn thing now
Can you dig it?"

fucking idiot

kovacs @disturbed4ever | 8 Oct '06, 12:11 | X | Reply

I dunno about that,

Americans refer to bands as a single item rather than a group of people. For example, "Disturbed is the most terrible band of an era that produced other such terrible bands as Limp Bizkit and Papa Roach".

'additute'

Is that a kind of additive?

I'm

sure I could paste lyrics from any Disturbed song on here to highlight the ridculousness of the statement 'David Draiman is a talented lyricist'.

What is M.O.L?

Grammar has no 'e' in it. Unless you're talking about the Frasier actor?

To 'Cliffhanger'

"The point is that millions of records don't sell if a band "sucks""

Yet, I bet you're the kind of guy who despises Girls Aloud.

You read the comments from Disturbed fans...

... and presume they're joking. Really, you are joking and not real Disturbed fans, surely?!

Well said on the 'i bet you're the sort of person who hates Girls Aloud' comment- nu metal fans hate 'pop' fans when in fact they're pretty much the same thing.

Fact- Dave Draiman is a great lyricist.
Fact- only good bands sell millions of records.
Fact- Disturbed = most talented band in the world.
Fact- i am being incredibly sarcastic on all fronts.
