Immortalized is the upcoming sixth studio album.
DISTURBED singer David Draiman told a Boston radio station that 'Immortalized' contains the band's first-ever attempt at a love song. The vocalist, known for his dark and often pessimistic lyrics about human nature, said that a track called 'You're Mine' was written for his wife Lena, adding, 'It's something that I had not done, really, on any record, and it's probably DISTURBED's first attempt at, dare I say, a pseudo, kind of, love song. It's lyrically not as dark as you've come to expect from us.' Ready player one pdf download free.

Draiman said that the album's closing number, 'Who Taught You How To Hate', was inspired by becoming a father, explaining, 'Children playing in a playground, they don't pay attention to the color of skin, or their religion, or what part of the world they come from, or how much money they have. It's pure, it's simple, and it's unbiased and it's beautiful. And that was definitely one of the things that my son showed me, and it's definitely reflected in that song.'
Immortalized is the sixth studio album by American heavy metal band Disturbed. The album was released on August 21, 2015 by Reprise Records, and is Disturbed's first studio album since Asylum (2010), marking the longest gap between two studio albums in their career. With 98,000 album-equivalent units in its first week, Immortalized is Disturbed's fifth consecutive number-one debut on the United States Billboard 200 chart. They are the third band in history to achieve this feat, after Metallica and Dave Matthews Band.[3] The band also found cross-over success in the album's third single, a cover of the 1964 song 'The Sound of Silence' by Simon & Garfunkel, which marked Disturbed's highest ranked single on the Billboard Hot 100 at number 42[4] and has since become Disturbed's biggest song since 'Down with the Sickness'.
Production and recording[edit]
In 2011, following the tour of their fifth studio album, Asylum, Disturbed announced that they would go on a hiatus.[5] During the hiatus, the band released a compilation album of previously recorded B-sides, The Lost Children (2011),[5] and a box set of their five studio albums, The Collection (2012).[6]
In January 2014, band members David Draiman (vocals), Dan Donegan (guitar), Mike Wengren (drums) met for dinner and began secretly writing material for Disturbed's sixth studio album. Bass player John Moyer was not present for the album's making, due to working with other bands and projects. The album was recorded at The Hideout Recording Studio in Las Vegas with record producer Kevin Churko.[7][8] Dan Donegan told The Pulse of Radio about working with a new producer: 'I think we needed… we wanted that. We wanted, especially having this time off, and being off this long break, to come back with something that sounds a little bit more fresh. It's been five years between albums, so it was nice to have, kind of, a new production element to it and things that, kind of, pushed us and challenged us to raise the bar.'[9] Draiman told Billboard regarding the songwriting process: 'There's a lot of new and fresh in the mix. We had more input on each other's parts than we probably ever had previously. Everything was really put under the microscope and everybody had an opinion, and, believe me, everyone was voicing them loudly.. We were very, very cooperative with one another, very professional the entire time — not that we haven't always been, but especially this time.'[10]
Promotion and release[edit]
Immortalized was announced on June 25, 2015, alongside the release of lead single 'The Vengeful One'. The single released with an accompanying animated video directed by film-maker Phil Mucci.[7] The album's title track was released with an official lyrics video on July 24. Two additional songs, 'Fire It Up' and 'What Are You Waiting For' were released on July 31 and August 7, respectively. On August 14, the whole album was made available for streaming via iTunes First Play.
Due to the murders of Alison Parker and Adam Ward, Warner Bros. Records decided to pull one of the television commercials for the album as the ad depicted an incident similar to the killings.[11]
Critical reception[edit]
Review aggregator Metacritic gave the album a score of 55 out of 100 based on 5 professional reviews, citing 'mixed or average reviews'.[12] James Christopher Monger from AllMusic gave the album a three out of five stating, 'A five-year break between albums should lend itself to a bit of growth, even for a band as everyman as Disturbed, but there's just not much here to keep the group's detractors from bringing out their pitchforks, and over time, staying the course may leave fewer and fewer townsfolk to protect them.'[13] Irving Tan of Sputnikmusic gave the album the same score saying, 'While the album also has its fair share of bona fide, looks-like-we-just-broke-the-bottom-of-the-barrel moments ('Fire It Up' instantly comes to mind here), Disturbed manage to do just enough to keep metal purists from dispensing with them completely.'[15]Loudwire's Chad Bowar said 'They have always known how to write hit singles, with a string of number ones over the years. They made the record label's job nearly impossible on the new record, because out of the 13 songs on the standard edition of the album, more than half could legitimately be rock radio hit singles.' Bowar concluded his review saying 'It won't change the minds of those who weren't fans before, but the album will hit the spot with the band's legions of worshipers.'[17]
Jon Hadusek from Consequence of Sound was highly critical of the album giving it a D rating and saying 'In this way, Immortalized is a for-fans-only release. It openly and so earnestly feeds its target audience, as if to scoff at the very idea of Art vs. Product. Lamb of God found a balance between the two with their latest album, VII: Sturm und Drang, which shines as a recent example of how to move forward artistically and still appeal to one's core fans and sell records. With Immortalized, Disturbed don't even try.'[14]
