The only reason I wanted this CD was because of the song, Down With the Sickness. My friend got it for me. I wanted it because they played it during the end of the Dawn of the Dead remake. Everytime I hear it, I think of zombies! The other songs are pretty good. I highly recommend THE SICKNESS!!!

Dream Theater, early Metallica, Opeth, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath... yeah, they all suck. Listen to this album if you want to be amazed by true musicianship! WHY would you give this less than 5 stars? Oh yeah, you're jealous of their talent.

one of the few albums that i love every song. brings out my creativity in my work.

Kinda wish Disturbed would have lived up to the awesomeness of their debut CD, I stopped listening to Disturbed after I listened to Believe and 10,000 Fists... Every song on this disk is awesome, and that is rare for a rock group...

In a time where most full length CD's come out with a couple of good hook tunes "The Sickness" stands out in that nearly every song has a strong hook and could be used as an anchor for any nu-metal cd.

While so many artists seem to be writing "statement" or ignorant political slogan songs Disturbed has adopted a "Shut up and Sing" approach which was SO needed in 2000.

Warning though - some of the things they explore are deeply dark and disturbing (rage, paranoid delusions, child abuse, domestic violence) but never once does it stray into preaching. It only shows the raw emotion and damage for what it is - a sickness.

This CD has the rare quality of focusing emotion. If you feel great when listening to this CD it tends to make one feel even better, stronger - however if you are pissed off about something this album will try to take you to a dark place indeed.

While that may sound a bit ominous it is a truly rare find that a band can be so honest about emotion that it transcends the music.

This is their best CD to date although Indestructible is a very close second. So if Anger is your thing than this is the CD for you.
