Album Review
Music as a Weapon II is a keepsake of Disturbed's 2003 tour of the same name, which also featured Taproot, Chevelle, and Ünloco. But it's ultimately about Disturbed. The Chicago combo isn't entirely free of genre homogeny, but its vigilant dedication to melody and a decent standard of bone-crushing metallurgy have helped carve a unique sonic niche. Both traits are evident on Weapon. A brooding introduction sidles up to the spiky, thick boot-heel strut of "Bound," and the previously unreleased "Dehumanized" — "Let me see those fists!" David Draiman implores the gathered throng midsong — should satiate those lying in wait for the band's next full-length. Disturbed know how to bring the house down, which they absolutely do with an incredible closing version of "Stupify." Too bad Beavis isn't around anymore. He would've loved Draiman's guttural yawps. "Don't denyeee meeee!" [Reprise issued a CD/DVD edition in 2004.]
Customer Reviews
I know you've already heard this.. but...
I know you've already heard this, but Disturbed are the only ones that sound remotely decent; and that's coming from a guy who does not like Disturbed. Before you go ballistic on me, I have nothing against Disturbed, it's just not my style of music; I'm more into the melodies and art of bands like Tool. Anyway, I've given it a listen and decided to review the other three bands (excluding Disturbed). Chevelle. two stars --- I don't think it's the recording that's making this band be so terrible live. The lead singer sounds like he only has half of a singing voice. The lead guitar is completely off on "the red". As far as vocals go, Chevelle can't rock. This guy's screams are the equivelant of a midget picking a fight with Chuck Norris, or trying to break a brick by talking to it. Unloco. three stars --- I'm not a big fan of these guys, but their music essentially doesn't sound that bad. Is it a bit screamo? Yes, screamo. "Empty" isn't too bad. Still, the vocals are lacking; another mediocre singer attempting at metal. The album's title is "music as a weapon", so at least they are screaming instead of that panzy whimper of Chevelle. Taproot. two and a half stars. --- I didn't think it was possible to see another band that sounds the same as P.O.D, Unloco, Chevelle, and etc, but Taproot has proved me wrong. Taproot offers a bit of difference; and by that, I mean the lead singer screams at random moments. I wouldn't be able to tell the difference between Taproot's lead singer and a Mentally challenged patient. At least with a mentally challenged patient you would know why they have such uncontrollable shouting. Icky album over-all. three stars.
Almost Perfect
Disturbed Performed 1000 times better than Chevelle, Unloco, and Taproot
get the normal versions
all these bands are great/good but when they're live -sigh- only disturbed sounds good live. i love unloco but thet sound totally different live get the disturbed songs but thats about it
