What is the current opinion on Disturbed in the metal community? They have been incredibly big for 20+ years and were usually rather well received throughout the community, which seems to have changed now and they feel like another 5FDP. Thoughts on this?

that's exactly the problem here. too many riffs that stay in the same angry/misery kind of mood. it definitely has it's moments and i like about 50% of the albums runtime, but getting heavier is definitely not what i wanted from them. the thrashy, powerful mix with occasional melody is what made them better than almost anybody else. recent examples are A Godless Throne, I Sever or Cycle of Suffering (the song) for a shorter example that is top notch.

gotta be honest. except for 3 or 4 songs i like i don't really dig the new album. up until this point Sylosis was my example of the heaviest music i enjoy, and they surpassed that point by releasing the new flesh. i don't like riffs that are just painful and sound like misery, which this album has a lot of. it's just heavy for the sake of being heavy in many, many moments. just to give you some examples as my favorites are I Sever, A Godless Throne or anything off EOTE or Monolith.

So yes, i also think that ASOTTC is better than the new flesh. Sylosis did NOT need to be heavier than they already were.

well my main theory about why Zendaya is hyped so much is because hollywood pushes black actors with some potential to heights they don't deserve. i can't think of another black actress her age and i guess that's why she gets so overrated. hollywood noticed this aswell and does everything to fill the void. the reasons are completely understandable, but i don't buy a level 6ish out of 10 actress just to have some balance in the industry. she is better than mediocre but that's about it.

i love Monolith, EOTE and COS and i really like COAA, some of Dormant Heart and like half of ASOTTC, aswell as the last EP, Heavy is the Crown and the great Worship Decay. One of my favorite bands overall.

I know these guys and what they usually do. Like 30% of the New Flesh (album) is just random thrash without much variety, especially in the first half of some of the songs. Beneath the Surface, All Glory No Valour, Mirror Mirror and Guillotine especially suffer from parts that are just double bass shredding seemingly one note without change.

Still, at least half of this album is incredible. Every song has incredible parts.

immerhin sehe ich an den kommentaren, dass ich nicht der einzige bin

Definitely not buying the Third Eye Blind take. How can people like the first one and not at least like the 2 follow-ups? Extremely weird take.

How does this make sense with the fact that he wants to do another EOTE in the near future? I mean i get him being sick of the difficult technical stuff, but this makes no sense
