Summary: Fun for a little while, but...
Comment: I'm not a huge disturbed fan, I do not have any of their shirts, I have not seen them live, and no I don't have "Disturbed" tattooed across my back. I remember seeing Queen Of The Damned though and hearing that song Lestat lip-synchs, which is, of course, Down With the Sickness. I've heard other songs by them (like "Stricken", "Inside the Fire", etc.) and they are indeed catchy. I thought I should check the album out.
I do not consider Disturbed to be metal in any sense. I just consider them to be hard rock. Anyone who considers these guys metal obviously don't listen to Metal. I don't like Nu-Metal, but I gave these guys a chance and I guess this is worth having if you want some good angry music. However, the reason this only gets three stars is because while the songs are kind of catchy, they sound too much the same- there's not enough variety in the music. 75% of the songs all have the same beat and I could swear I could hear the monkey noises in each song (the infamous "Oooh-ah-ah-ah-ah!!!!!" as heard on DWTS). You've heard DWTS, then you've heard the whole album, pretty much.
Overall, I guess this is worth a look, but don't expect anything fresh and original. This gets a very reluctant 3 stars from me.

Summary: Powerful Sound!!
Comment: This album is pretty cool, it has a really powerful sound, not exactly "heavy" but just powerful in the sense that the guitar and the vocals greatly impacted me. You have to hear this CD at a loud volume to really appreciate it, it gets you right in that "fight/I wont take sh#t from you mood." These guys are really talented and i'm pleased with this CD.
Now what I don't like about this CD is that the songs sometimes sound too similar, it's not neccesarily a bad thing but if you have it in shuffle with other artists it wont seem repetetive.
Don't let this stop you from buying this awesome CD, it's a must have for any hard rock or metal fan or just any music lover. Disturbed did an awesome job with this album and I would definitely recommend it to anyone.

Summary: Get Down With the Sickness!!!
Comment: 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!!!

Summary: Nu-metal is the best metal genre ever!
Comment: 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.
