you know, some of the stuff i loved in middle school has aged surprisingly well. there are the obviously good ones like (early) Linkin Park, System of a Down, and Deftones, but even the butt rock-ier stuff still hits for me. like yeah Breaking Benjamin are extremely corny but nearly 20 years later and i am still getting down to So Cold. i still fuck with bits and pieces of 10 Years, Chevelle, Taproot, TRUSTcompany, P.O.D. etc etc... none of it's musically STELLAR, but a good song is a good song and those bands put out some good songs.

Disturbed are very fucking much NOT on that list. i get more enjoyment out of fucking SKILLET than i do from listening to David "bomb more children" Draiman melodramatically gargle into a microphone about overcoming the darkness

Fuck Israel and their genocidal bullshit. Read about the Nabka or how the idea of Israel was proposed by British antisemites. It wasn’t popularly supported until WWII in fact most Jews were anti Zionists. Also… being anti-zionist DOES NOT equate to Antisemitism. You can absolutely criticize and complain about what Israel is doing to Palestinians. Hamas scratches compared to Israeli bombs that leveled Gaza to the ground.

Fuck Drainman and fuck anyone who listens to this garbage. You should go fuck your sister.

Time to go back more than 75 years in history, when Israel didn't exist and there was only Palestine. There is no Israel, there is just Palestine. As Manatee alluded to, the British and Americans forcibly created "Israel".
Regardless, Israel has one of the greatest militaries in the world and flexes that strength by murdering women and children endlessly, at rates historically 10 times or more than the "other side". This is objectively unjustifiable.

Americans align with Israel sheerly because they are too stupid to understand that the Israelis and the Israelites have absolutely nothing in common.

Per Haaretz: « At a Likud party conference in 2019, Benyamin Netanyahu said:
"Anyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state has to support bolstering Hamas and transferring money to Hamas... This is part of our strategy – to isolate the Palestinians in Gaza from the Palestinians in the West Bank."

In an interview with Politico in 2023, former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said that "In the last 15 years, Israel did everything to downgrade the Palestinian Authority and to boost Hamas." ^Maybe this will change your opinion?

If you come out hardcore pro-Israel or hardcore pro-Palestinian, 90% likelihood you’re hardcore ignorant or otherwise biased. It’s not a simple dispute, not something that will be morally settled by a quick game of name that atrocity, and if anyone feels strongly about the whole situation, you should learn enough to know that “but Nakba!” or “but October 7!” makes you look foolishly unaware.

With bands like these, I suppose the majority of their fanbase are such superfans that cookie-cutter songwriting isn't a big deal to them. In fact, I'm sure this new single is like comfort food for Disturbed fans since it does exactly the same thing every Disturbed song has done since 10k Fists.

Yeah but all those 60,000 dead Palestinians (including infants and children) were bloodthirsty Hamas supporters so whatever the IDF did was a preventative measure to not have similar mass murder happen to them. But Israel wanted peace, for sure.

This thread certainly isn’t the best place to be having this conversation, but this kind of thing is what I’m talking about man, every argument I see about the conflict follows the pattern of pointing to one horrible event or another, countered with another tragedy perpetrated by the other side, and on it goes. I’m not making an equivalence, or suggesting fence-sitting is the answer, I’m saying that trying to figure out who the “bad guys” are by trying to see who did the ugliest violence is pretty useless and simplistic. The Iraq war makes 60k civilians seem negligible, is it reasonable to say that anyone who supports the continued existence of the U.S. as a country is a genocide supporter? It gets nobody nowhere.

The reality is that, whatever you think of the governing bodies on either side (both are atrocious, really), there are real people with a lot at stake who care about the war, and y’know, maybe deep down inside David Draiman just hates Palestinian women and children and wants as many dead as possible, or maybe he’s a Jewish man with family in Israel who doesn’t want to see the country dissolved.

It's hard to figure out what rhetoric is going to work if it isn't just gesturing at the hard fact that Israel has waged a war of mass terror on two million people they already had every advantage over and have killed likely well past that 60,000 number, including tens of thousands of children. It's not the "ugliest violence", it's the "MOST violence" and that's orders of magnitude against Palestinians. Nothing works! It always results in "well it's hella complicated..." from someone. You're welcome to dm me if you don't wanna keep going here.

I have been a fan of Disturbed since their debut album came out years ago, and have bought every studio album since. Now that I am in my mid-forties, my musical tastes have changed significantly. Some of my favorite bands are Pink Floyd, Tool, Riverside, Scar Symmetry, Metallica, Dark Tranquillity, Dream Theater, Opeth, The Birthday Massacre, Type O Negative, and Insomnium. Now that I've listened to the new Disturbed song, I truly cannot understand how the band can put out a song like this and not feel embarrassed. It is beyond generic and the lyrics are just cringe. Unbreakable, Indestructible, I Will Not Break, etc. Same lyrical theme used over and over again throughout the years. I think Draiman has a great voice, but I am finally writing off Disturbed for good after this shitty song. If I want to listen to Disturbed, I will just put something on from one of their first three albums.

There's nothing more tactical than genocide, and if by "seeking out and destroying Hamas" you mean killing tens of thousands of innocent children, then Israel was tremendously successful.

“ If you come out hardcore pro-Israel or hardcore pro-Palestinian, 90% likelihood you’re hardcore ignorant or otherwise biased…”

man both sidesing a genocide is truly wild. Ya, 10/7 was awful and inexcusable… but Israel has done a thousand fucking October 7ths of their in the 23 months following it. Your ass must be so sore after two years of sitting on that fence. The IDF and the US Military calling Hamas terrorists would be hilarious if it weren’t so depressing. Pot meet fucking kettle.

oh anyways, this band blows bouquets of cock, but they’d be better without David. And that’s not even me being anti Israel he just fucking sucks. Any time the band has a decent groove going or busts out a cool riff he comes roaring in with his rah rah bullshit.

@Wildcard first off, a lot has happened since February, second if you read my follow-up comment I specifically said I’m not trying to make an equivalence or suggest fence-sitting, I was making an observation about the reductive and reactive way people approach this whole conflict with limited understanding. None of that really matters now given the current U.S. administration’s unhinged vision for Gaza and complete support for Israel no matter what, but anyway.

"A lot has happened since February"

You mean the sequence of events anyone with half a brain could have foreseen coming given the constant bloodlust communicated by the IDF and its leaders? You now have a different perspective even though people were pointing this shit out to you months ago? Nobody who accused Israel of having the intent to commit ongoing genocide were being reductive or reactive. It was people recognizing a pattern of behavior that had been occurring for centuries.

Look no matter the politics, let's all come together and just say Disturbed's music is dog water doodoo. Can we all at least agree on that and shake hands.

Idk it takes a lot of talent to write Down With The Sickness for 25 years over and over again and do a shitty cover of sound of silence

Really just scraping the bottom of the barrel with this band

Sounds like I need to listen to stricken immediately because I do not remember that and it is fucking hilarious that this stupid bald fuck would try to work something like that into the dumbest music metal has to offer… and metalheads listen to a lot of dumb shit so that’s truly saying something.

honestly The Sickness would be remembered as a truly great radio rock anthem record if David didn’t suck so fucking much. There’s some solid riffs but god the vocals man

Stricken honestly isn’t half bad either but he immediately ruins it with his AH AH AH AUGH shit.

And then you remember that literally all of their songs sound like that. I’m not backing that up with any contemporary research whatsoever but my dad fuckin loved this band so I have some decade and a half old memories of every song being a fucking blur.

Also anytime David approaches rapid vocal deliveries he should be kicked directly in the ass. Serj was the only one that can do that shit right.

Honestly the few songs I think is ok is Stupify, Intoxication and The Vengeful One. Sickness just feels like a a meme song now a days. They have some fun riffs on the rest of the Sickness album but I've lost interest in them a while ago.

@Christ and @Wildcard, if you think Israel or the United States government are behaving the same way now that they were before the current administration, you’re not paying attention or you’re not being honest. There is no world in which Biden and Trump’s vision, actions, and attitude towards Israel and Palestine can be considered the same. Having the world’s greatest superpower and most powerful ally give them full-throated support with no strings attached and on top of that, making unhinged statements about ethnically cleansing Gaza to build casinos, is supercharging Israel’s far-right and they’re very clearly ramping things up. Pretending it was a foregone conclusion that it was inevitably going to go this way is wrong, whatever you happen to think of the Democratic Party they were not all in on a U.S.-Israel takeover of Gaza.

Brother I don’t think the people of Gaza care whether or not our genocidal leader is rude about it or not.

You can say maybe, possibly, it wouldn’t have accelerated so quick with Kamala in charge but a genocide is a genocide and that lady was fine with a genocide.

And I’m saying this as someone who fucking voted for her. I did what I was supposed to, I held my nose and voted and it didn’t make a fuckin difference. I think there is a serious argument to be made that if Kamala (or, ideally, a candidate that won a hypothetical primary) took a much harder stance on Israel the election would’ve been a lot closer. I still don’t think she would’ve won but she sucked on a multitude of issues, Gaza was just the most glaring of them. Democrats continue to capitulate to the right and these people fucking hate them anyways.

I hate to throw around buzzwords but aside from a few good eggs they are literally controlled opposition. The situation in Gaza would’ve been 95% the same with Kamala at the helm.

Delusional take absolutely out of touch with reality, if you think any sizable portion of the population didn’t vote for Kamala because of her stance on Palestine you are absolutely out of your mind, especially given that TRUMP was the alternative and there is no universe where his position isn’t significantly worse.

And not only that, Trump just follows the money (received over 200 million dollars from AIPAC/adjacent groups) and is dumb as fuck so when he sees beachfront property getting demolished he thinks “ooh nice a resort”

Biden was a true believer. He constantly labeled himself as a Zionist and his support for Israel was pretty much unwavering. Just because he called Netanyahu an asshole behind his back doesn’t mean he would’ve been any softer than the current administration and it honestly tells me Kamala wouldn’t have been any different than him.

Words don’t fucking matter, Gaza is getting turned into a fucking parking lot, we just get to choose if the aid we send is fucking woke or not.

You are correct, Israel / Gaza was a redline for many people. But not enough in all battleground states to swing the election imo.

But honestly by admitting that and typing that out you’re literally acknowledging how much of a fucking failure she was by not recognizing that. I’ve said my fuckin piece, there’s much smarter people that can articulate it better than I.

Democrats stay losing because they can’t read a fuckin room or, again, they’re controlled opposition.

Chuck Schumer was literally going around on his fuckin book tour saying that it’s his job to keep antisemitism out of the left meanwhile the admin running the country is filled to the fuckin brim with actual Nazis. One just got fuckin domed and they’re creating a fuckin holiday for him.

This is all just reminding me how useless democrats are aside from a choice few.

This is exactly what I’m talking about, you’re living in vibes politics. There’s no polling data that will support your read of why Kamala lost. Read this and tell me nothing significant has changed regarding U.S. support and Israel’s attitude:

“they’re controlled opposition”

You’re going to keep grandstanding over Republicans meanwhile forming opinions with the exact same methodology of the average MAGA voter, morally lucking your way onto the left doesn’t change anything.

Why are you saying this like we have to guess? Do you know that Biden was already president and Trump currently is, and we can compare them directly?

I’m not reading all of that because it’s obvious to anyone with eyes. Of course Israel stepped up their attacks when a fucking republican is in office, I’m literally just saying that it would still be happening under a hypothetical Harris admin. And of course I’m going on vibes. Kamala gave me the fuckin vibe that she would still be desecrating entire bloodlines because she gave me literally nothing else.

as I already stated, I VOTED FOR HER, AND TOLD OTHER PEOPLE THEY SHOULD TOO. I live in a deep red state so it was always going to be futile but I still put in the fuckin work trying to convince people to vote for her. I ruined relationships over my support for that woman and my continual bothering of everyone that thought Trump was some peaceful leader. How many fuckin maga people I told that he would literally be worse than any dem would make your head spin, but he was smart. He shut his fuckin mouth on Gaza for the most part and just stuck with vague “I’ll end wars” rhetoric when it couldn’t be further from the truth.

I think the closest thing I have to a point right now is that shit in Gaza would not be too different under a Harris presidency. I stand by that. Yes, it has predictably accelerated with a fuckin fascist in office, but most of it still would’ve happened with Kamala, she gave us no reason to think otherwise (talking about having the most lethal military in the world was such an insane thing to say, not openly distancing herself from Biden’s stances when we all made it clear he’s exactly what WE DIDNT WANT, etc I could go on and on).

Complaining that I’m using the same methodology as MAGA? Who gives a shit? Civility is what got us this fuckin room temperature IQ fourth reich. I’m done being nice to people over this, who gives a fuck about my methodology? And it’s not grandstanding when it’s true. I’m not a perfect person but I’m not genocidal, a fascist, a rapist… need I go on? Morally lucking my way into the left is evidently having common sense and a fucking backbone?

Unless the basis of your argument is that the genocide would’ve ended and we would’ve had a lasting ceasefire with Kamala, which is more delusional than the Q anon folks, then frankly I’m not very interested in what you have to say.

I’m not talking about civility, I’m talking about facing the facts. The average voter did not have Israel-Palestine at the forefront of their mind. It was a concern, yes, but it wasn’t remotely a deciding factor, and regardless, there’s no analysis on that issue where Trump is favourable anyway. Engaging in conspiracies of paid opposition and “trust me bro it’s obvious” is the methodology I’m referring to. I stand by what I said in February because you’re proving my point in real time, you’re out of touch with reality. As if Trump wasn’t a clear hardcore Israel supporter lmao. Once again I don't know why you’re acting like we need to guess. Did we forget he moved the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem in his first term?

“ Did we forget he moved the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem in his first term?”
Jesus fucking Christ… yes. They literally didn’t know. I interact with these people all day every day for a living. The average American is dumb as shit with the attention span of a gnat.

“Engaging in conspiracies of paid opposition“
It’s not a conspiracy, either they are (again with a few good eggs thrown in there) or they are so woefully inept and ineffective that they should lose their fucking jobs. Blaming dems for sucking so fucking much that they managed to lose to this fucking idiot twice shouldn’t be considered this radical of a stance.

I’m done engaging man. I’m seriously so tired of you smug liberal types.

that’s a good allegory for the Democratic Party. I can’t wait for nothing to change and get a Gavin Newsom - Mayor Pete 2028 ticket. Surely those two will be the ones to rock the boat!

He had a quote you might like, on recognition of a Palestinian state “What a profound question that arouses the biggest problems with Israel’s survival”

2 years into a genocide and we’ve got dipshits that will be running for president still running defense for an apartheid state. They’ve learned absolutely fucking nothing.
