On their third album, Disturbed don't as much break out of expected patterns as show their potential for doing so. Fans eager for more of the band's patented fist-thumping gruel will take satisfaction in the album's opening (and anthemic) title track, plus "I'm Alive" and "Forgiven." The band shines brightest in the record's early moments, where "Deify," "Guarded," "Just Stop," and "Stricken" demonstrate that this unit's capable of discovering a song's subtleties and crafting radio-ready choruses meant to uplift the souls of disenfranchised subdivision dwellers. The album isn't without its problems--come the halfway mark ("Sons of Plunder") vocalist David Draiman and his mates lapse into the expected, with a series of songs that are good but rarely as remarkable as those found in Act I. That said, Ten Thousand Fists ultimately reminds us that Disturbed refuse to relent in their journey toward greatness. --Jedd Beaudoin
Album Description:
After a triple-platinum debut and platinum follow-up, Disturbed fuses the brutality and darkness of 2000's The Sickness with the added melodic nature and complexity of 2002's Believe for album number three. Aggressive, relentless and intense-yet at the same time transcendent-Ten Thousand Fists is a rock sledgehammer.

Rating: 
- Even better than "Believe" and definitely at least tied with "Indestructible"
"Ten Thousand Fists" is Disturbed's third album, and owning this, "Believe", and "Indestructible", and hearing several songs from "The Sickness", I can say that this is a noticeably good album. Since I don't own "The Sickness" yet, I can't compare this album to that, but I will compare it to "Believe" and "Indestructible".
To me the first and last four songs on "Believe" were all quite good, with the middle four being somewhat poor. "Indestructible" was overall very good, but there were ... Read More
Rating: - Almost as good as the first...almost!
Disturbed never stops impressing me. I recently did reviews on the first and fourth album, now working on the second. The third album has just about everything you would expect from the metal genre, fantastic guitar riffs, awesome vocals and lyrics(minus the rapping), and it definately keeps you on the edge of your toes. For those that either never heard the first two albums or never liked metal should definately go and buy this, you would probably get hooked. Guarded, overburdened, sons of plunder, ... Read More
Rating: - Phenomenal
I think this album shows just how much Disturbed have matured as a band since they came into the scene with "The Sickness". The album starts off strong with the title track that gets you pumped up right away. "Just Stop" is another hit with a heart pumping verse and catchy chorus. "Stricken" is arguably Disturbed's best song. It features a very memorable solo from Dan Donegan and the verse and chorus are so perfect for each other. "Sons of Plunder" is a song that talks about all these bands that come ... Read More

Rating: - My favorite Disturbed album
I think all the songs on this are well done...they have melodies which a lot of other hard rock/metal doesn't.I have Indestructible and The Sickness also.Indestructible has guitar solos which i like, but i like the songs better on Ten Thousand Fists.I'm not a great music critic but I think if you like disturbed then you need to have this album.
Oh, and shame on whoever tagged this as alternative rock.
