"Indestructible" marks the triumphant return of one of my favorite bands, Disturbed. I think it is simply an incredible album and one of the standout rock releases of 2008 to date.
The album certainly delivers on the band's trademark sound and does not stray too far from what made Disturbed successful to begin with - as a matter of fact, I feel it is more of a return to the harder sound they had prior to 10,000 Fists. I also feel that their maturity clearly shines through with this release and they have found the perfect balance between the metal and the melodic.
As usual, David Draiman's strong vocals, the outstanding guitar work of Dan Donegan and the pounding rhythm section of John Moyer and Mike Wengren, work together in undeniable harmony to bring the out the best of every song. I think Dan has really taken his guitar playing to the next level - his solos are OUTSTANDING on many of the songs - what a talent.
I have a hard time picking out favorites - the entire album is so strong -but if I had to choose, Indestructible, Perfect Insanity and Divide are standouts for me.
Buy it - you'll love it!
What's great about it: outstanding guitar solos, signature Disturbed sound
What's not so great: not enough songs- so good I want more!!

This CD is a must have for Cornell fans. I feel it really shows his maturity, versatility and ability to take listeners down a new path, while maintaining the constant of ‘the voice’ we know and love. It is not hard to see (or hear) why Chris Cornell has been a highly successful musician for over 20 years. That kind of staying power does not happen without taking risks and reaching outside a certain comfort zone. On Carry On, I especially enjoy Ghosts, Disappearing Act and Arms Around Your Love.
