Hard Rock

Can someone explain to me how this is hard rock at all? I understand why 10K fists was thought of as rock, since songs like "Stricken", and "Just Stop" do feel a little "rocky", but I'm not feeling anything like that for Indestructible. They all seem alternative metal to me. If anyone could just list songs from the album, or parts of the songs that are considered "rock" that would be helpful. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.162.37.102 (talk) 16:07, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Please post new sections as the bottom of the page, thanks. The entire genre is rock, everything that is heavy metal, alt metal, hard rock, etc, falls under "rock". But the debate here is that some people label Indestructible heavy metal, while the real metal fans don't find it heavy enough, and Disturbed themselves label themselves as hard rock, as do many of the fans. dude527 (talk) 18:31, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Althought their own opinions have no meaning whatsoever. And that's why we put "alternative metal" in the box instead of heavy metal. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.162.37.102 (talk) 00:24, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

"Divide" In Confirmed Tracks

Recently, someone has added the song "Divide" to the list of confirmed tracks... what is the source for this song? I've only heard about it once before, and it was on an early list of songs on M.O.L. (you have to look carefully)... Dan (talk) 02:36, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Nevermind, now it's been referenced. Dan (talk) 16:06, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Discussing possible songs

Please discuss the list of songs rather than adding and removing it constantly. I've requested temporary page protection in line with this. ~Ferdia O'Brien ^(T)/_(C) 19:31, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Alright, seems like a better idea. I don't see why it keeps on getting removed, anyway. Dan (talk) 20:23, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Well one thing I'm noticing is that the list in its present state doesn't seem to have a source, without that it's very difficult to argue for its inclusion. Do you know of such a source? ~Ferdia O'Brien ^(T)/_(C) 20:32, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

The list is merely reiterating which songs are confirmed to appear on the album, all of which are stated in the main article. They are sourced through the main article from many interviews David Draiman has given. It makes it easier to see all the songs put in one place rather than to re-read the entire article. Dan (talk) 06:17, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Then add the same sources to the items on the list and its problem solved. ~Ferdia O'Brien ^(T)/_(C) 08:25, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Not to be argumentative, but why is this necessary if they are already sourced through the article (indeed, right above the list)? Dan (talk) 16:25, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Simple, annon IPs are deleting the list because they haven't read the article, and therefore don't notice the references, they then delete it thinking it is speculation, repeating the references will bring the reference in to focus, and stop the removal of the list. ~Ferdia O'Brien ^(T)/_(C) 17:16, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Since when does wikipedia compromise its contents due to anonymous users? All the songs are referenced through 2 sources anyways, but I think adding a reference next to "confirmed tracks" would be sufficient. I saw that there was one, but someone seems to have removed it. Dan (talk) 01:29, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

where does it say anything anywhere about the song divide being included? i see a source for the other song titles but the only thing it says anywhere about divide is that there are rumors that the track will be included. last time i checked unsourced rumors aren't supposed to be on wikipedia.69.212.157.72 (talk) 03:48, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

That probably should have gone under the other heading I've made, but whatever. So far, all I've seen about the song "Divide" is from a user named Ravensclaw2 on youtube, and so far he's been up to par with everything Disturbed (in fact, he's widely responsibly for distributing the bonus tracks from TTF on the internet). Obviously, not a reliable source, but I am quite sure something will surface soon enough telling about the fates of both "Criminal" and "Divide". For now, we should just slap a "citation needed" tag on it then wait a little. Dan (talk) 04:27, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

I agree, also on the topic of Ravensclaw2, a user named TheDarkLordWesley221 posted a comment on his Youtube page stating he talked with David Draiman about both "Criminal" and "Divide" and he said there is a chance one of the songs might make the album and both songs will probably be released this year or next year as singles, bonus tracks,etc. Whether this is legitimate enough or not, I don't know. LonghornDude08 (talk) 16:06, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

I also saw that comment... I'd say it's legitimate, what have they got to gain by lying? Also, they've been pretty reputable so far. Unfortunately, we can't confirm anything just yet because Disturbed seems to keep quite secretive around the time of the newest albums' releases. Dan (talk) 17:50, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Hmmm, I'm not to keen that this article should be relying on hearsay to develop, but I suppose its to be expected that it should have a slightly speculative feel before the fact. I really don't see this article going much further until the albums is actually in stores (for Dans reason above), but we still gotta comply that all information must be referenced properly... ~Ferdia O'Brien ^(T)/_(C) 18:31, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Not to be a pain, I mean I like the idea of all the songs being listed in the same place, but there are no indications of any tracks being "confirmed". I vote we change it from "Confirmed Tracks" to something like "Possible Tracks" until time persists and Disturbed actually releases a true list of songs. That way all the people who want "Criminal" and "Divide" to be listed will be happy, and those who say those songs probably wont make it will be also be happy.LonghornDude08 (talk) 00:58, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Alright, good idea, I'll go ahead and do what you said. Dan (talk) 01:29, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

No problems with that here. ☯Ferdia O'Brien ^(T)/_(C) 01:39, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Not this again. Who removed the list and why? Dan (talk) 14:09, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

What list... Wikipedia is being gay, andd whenever I edit the article, all I can see is from the beginning up to the point where I edited it...LonghornDude08 (talk) 01:07, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Well, not sure what your problem is, but the list I am referring to is mentioned in detail above. Dan (talk) 01:50, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Okay, good, it's back. Also, if anyone is wondering, the reference for Perfect Insanity this Friday is on their myspace page... Dan (talk) 00:42, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

How is the length of "Midlife Crisis" known? It hasn't even been officially confirmed yet.LonghornDude08 (talk) 03:07, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Actually, it's been leaked on youtube... there's a bit of debate about if it's really Disturbed or not, but it sure sounds like them (listen with some headphones and pay careful attention to the vocals, really sounds like Draiman). If you want to hear it, go to YouTube and search "Midlife Crisis Disturbed". If you want to download it, go to www.myspace.com/originaldisturbedfan ...Dan (talk) 23:31, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Ya, I know all about that, in fact I posted the second video with that same exact song. It's not from Indestructible, It's an old cover they did way back in the Sickness days.LonghornDude08 (talk) 04:01, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Hmm, I knew that bass guitar sounded more like Fuzz than Moyer... well, I'm not sure then. Perhaps we should add that into the article, that they covered the song back in ~2000? Dan (talk) 04:38, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Reference for Façade

I don't feel like editing the article, but here's the reference for that new song Façade... http://www.artistdirect.com/nad/news/article/0,,4594154,00.html Dan (talk) 06:57, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Genres

I think we should just post what is on the actual album, which is Hard Rock. dude527 (talk) 04:09, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Agreed. Nu and Alt. Metal tags are fine (since they aren't heavy metal genres in the slightest), but the Heavy Metal tag needs to go and be replaced with a rock tag. Prophaniti (talk) 00:29, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, people are still disregarding the tag that was placed and editing in "Heavy Metal". The tag should not be heavy metal. The CD has it labeled "Hard Rock", as does the official website, and this is how it should be here. Even in my own opinion, this is nowhere even NEAR heavy metal. Anyways, I'll extend the tag posted, and if somebody violates it again, they will be treated as a vandal. dude527 (talk) 00:33, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

The edit note added was completely unnecessary. You cannot treat someone as a vandal for an edit in good faith. Also, it doesn't matter what genre is listed on the CD or on the band's website. Wikipedia relies on reliable third-party sources. AMG lists Indestructible as alt metal and heavy metal, while I believe it is also hard rock. Anyway, we don't need a threatening edit note, it's uncivil and completely unnecessary here. Tim meh ! 02:41, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

It wasn't intended as threatening. It was intended as a warning, they would be treated as a vandal because the note was there and they defied it, that is what I would consider a vandal. dude527 (talk) 05:13, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

This is getting ridiculous. I've been trying to add referenced genres an correcting the delimiters for the genres, but several editors (fanboys apparently) have been separating the genres by line breaks and removing my valid citations. Tim meh ! 01:44, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

You citations say "Genre: Rock| Style: Heavy Metal, Alternative Metal". And the line breaks make it look cleaner. dude527 (talk) 01:52, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

The line breaks go against WP:ALBUM#Genre, and yes, the website says the album is heavy metal and alternative metal. AMG is one of the most reliable sources for genres, that's the only reason I put it here. Tim meh ! 01:54, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Alright, but we only need one of the same reference. dude527 (talk) 01:55, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Just to point out, AMG is actually one of the least reliable sources, at least as far as heavy metal classifications go. Indeed, I'm in the process of gathering sources to prove just that. However, until then I personally won't be making any attempt to mess around with the genres here. Prophaniti (talk) 02:47, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

When it comes to genres, which are subjective, a website cannot possibly be "wrong" in classification, therefore you can't "prove" that AMG is unreliable. Maybe a lot of the genres are inaccurate, but when it comes to wikipedia AMG is perfectly reliable and that won't change anytime soon.

Also, while it doesn't sound completely like traditional heavy metal, the album has huge influence taken from it, to the point where they are very close to heavy metal, perhaps closer to it than alternative metal. Of course, that's my opinion, but as there is a reliable citation for heavy metal it needs to stay there. James25402 (talk) 20:44, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

Genres are only in -part- subjective, there is also a strong degree of objectivity.

I can and indeed shall "prove" AMG is wrong. I'm in the process of doing so even now, and it very likely will change very soon actually. Until then, as I say, I won't attempt to alter it. Prophaniti (talk) 10:50, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

I cannot find one thing "hard rock" about this album. Even the slow-paced songs are still basic heavy metal. If certain tracks on here are "hard rock", then progressive metal and just basic heavy metal don't exist either. They're just "hard rock". Some people don't want to face the fact that Disturbed's work is starting to attract the metal audiences, not just the rock crowd. —Preceding unsigned comment added by MetalKommandant (talk • contribs) 00:04, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

I think you're taking it a bit too personally, Metal Kommandant. We don't use our own opinions when selecting genres, we use reliable sources and many reliable sources confirm that this is indeed hard rock. Would you like to challenge all the references we could come up with, including the official website one, that this is indeed hard rock? That might be a little bit hard for you to do. Besides, in my own judgment (since that's what we're debating), I can't find heavy metal in these songs. As Draiman said, "We have too much melody going on." The Guy _complain ^edits 00:51, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Besides, if you want to get "technical," rock is the genre, heavy metal is the style within the genre. Rock is the main genre, which all the "sub-genres" (nu metal, hard rock, heavy metal, et cetera) joint off from. Therefore, it would technically be the most accurate to simply put "rock," as it covers all the genres said. The Guy _complain ^edits 00:54, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Wow, you sound like you just inserted your own opinions as well, dumbass. Any "professional" review and "reliable" resource is just an opinion all by itself as well. It's all who you are. And you just supported his argument by saying that metal is just a "sub-genre" of Disturbed. You're exactly the kind of person he was talking about. Fucking hypocrites...

I want to ask you to please tone down the vulgar content of your posts, and please, no personal attacks. I inserted my own opinions, yes, as you might be able to tell from me typing "in MY opinion," but the difference is, I'm not trying to use my own opinions in the article. I fear you misunderstand me, because I said metal is a sub-genre of rock, which it is. Rock is the main genre, and metal, hard rock, alternative, et cetera, is all just sub-genres under the "rock" genre. Also, I fail to see where he's talking about people. As far as I see, he's talking about genres, and the one mention of people says people can't accept that Disturbed is attraction heavy metal audiences. The thing, though, is that, despite being opinions in themselves, reliable sources have a writing staff, and generally check over everything they publish multiple times before publishing it, making it more reliable than a single person's biased opinion. You're "you supported his argument" argument, is also not valid, as he's proposing that we take out a genre, not add one. Anyways, in conclusion, please tone down the content of your posts, and no personal attacks, please. Thanks :) The Guy _complain ^edits 01:11, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

You happen to agree with this particular review, though I'm sure you wouldn't be so objective if you disagreed with it. The 'staff' may have agreed on something incorrect; people aren't perfect. Though I particularly disagree with Metal Komandant's statement about Disturbed being predominantly "metal", they really don't show much rock here...? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikiuser 4000x (talk • contribs) 01:35, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

I actually do agree with it to an extent. Rules and sticking to them is my top priority. But you're trying to tell me that a reliable source, confirmed to be completely reliable, is suddenly not reliable simply because it's objective and opinionated by several people. That doesn't matter, though. If it were fact, it would, but it generally doesn't for something so subjective. The Guy _complain ^edits 02:29, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

Ah, I get it now. It all depends on who you are to depend if your opinion is verified as fact; you have to be a professional. Otherwise, you're spat upon. Thanks for clearing that up! ;) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikiuser 4000x (talk • contribs) 16:33, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

Ok, seriousally, this is still going on? Its obvious that Dude527 is right and that they are Hard Rock. While some, including me, may argue that they are metal, Disturbed themselves regard themselves as Hard Rock and I'm pretty sure they'd know what their genre is. Disturbedfan24 (talk) 16:55, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

What a band classifies themselves as is irrelevant. What if they called themselves technical death metal? While sources aren't completely ideal, they are the best representation of a band's genre and must therefore be used. Personally, I think we should keep "hard rock", "heavy metal", and "alternative metal" in no particular order. Dan (talk) 01:28, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Genre

I belive the album should be classified as alternative rock, hard rock, and nu metal (or alternative metal) i agree it's not heavy metal, but Disturbed has always been classified as some type of metal. Harlot666 (talk) 17:54, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

For your consideration, there is already a discussion about this below; while we do appreciate your vote, please read the sections next time, thanks! =) dude527 (talk) 18:48, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Midlife Crisis

I'm going to put this straight hopefully once and for all... The version on Youtube is a cover they did back before they did The Sickness, for a Faith No More tribute album... The track has NOT been released to anywhere!!!LonghornDude08 (talk) 23:13, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Intro

I made a grammatical fix to the intro earlier, but a new thought has occured to me now, if the album is set for June 3rd, is it really logical that the band are still in the writing/recording phase? ☯Ferdia O'Brien ^(T)/_(C) 20:04, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

No, it's not; now they're just building up anticipation for the release and doing marketing... It'd odd that they haven't released the album art yet though, isn't it? Dan (talk) 20:28, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

If I remember correctly Ten Thousand Fists album art took a while to be released too (although the image of the Disturbed One was release very early on). I'll have a look for a reference stating they're defiantly in the marketing phase. ☯Ferdia O'Brien ^(T)/_(C) 20:39, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

How about this http://metalnews.typepad.com/themetalreport/2008/01/disturbed-relea.html. ☯Ferdia O'Brien ^(T)/_(C) 20:44, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Seems good. Dan (talk) 22:28, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

I think it's about time we clean up all the old stuff on the article, like things that are confirmed or really old because reading it is starting to become a little confusing. LonghornDude08 (talk) 02:47, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Semi-protection?

I'm beginning to become slightly annoyed by the constant editing done to this article without merit. Most recently, someone attempted (and failed) to have this page show every Disturbed album in the infobox.

I'd like to request semi-protection until the album's release, June 3rd.

Razer922 (talk) 21:07, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

There's definitely not enough vandalism to protect the page, especially until June 3. Usually page protection lasts from a few days to a month, depending on the level of vandalism. There's just not enough here to have it protected. Tim meh ! 22:14, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

With regards to the request filed at WP:RFPP:

Declined – There is not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection at this time. As Timmeh states, the vandalism is nowhere near the levels normally required to warrent page protection. Sorry, _Talk Islander 22:38, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I am the creator of this article. Should I be taking control over this and waztching out for vandalism as creator? Nardulli22 (talk) 01:18, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Being the creator of an article infers no extra rights or responsibility's, however help with fighting vandalism never goes amiss. ☯Ferdia O'Brien ^(T)/_(C) 21:48, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Wow

I remember when I first created this page as "Disturbed's 4th Studio Album". Amazing how much it has grown. Nardulli22 (talk) 01:16, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, articles tend to do that... 21655 ^{ταλκ/01ҁ} 18:06, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

B-Sides

There were fifteen songs recorded for the Indestructible album. The twelve on the album and "Run", "Midlife Crisis" and finally "This Moment". I know for a fact that "This Moment" is a b-side b/c I was at a Disturbed concert on May 2nd, and the band stated before they played the song "This is a b-side from Indestructible. It was on the Transformers soundtrack." So I vote that it should be added to the list of b-sides. Nineinchsin (talk) 17:14, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Couple things; This Moment was recorded before the other songs from Indestructible, and now with Parasite that makes 15 songs recorded, and the three bonus ones being Run, Midlife Crisis, and Parasite. Dan (talk) 12:48, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Still doesn't change the lead singer stated to a crowd of people from Springfield, MO that "This Moment" was a b-side. Besides, how do you know it was recorded before the other songs. They could have been recording since early last year. Or before, I mean it has been three years since Ten Thousand Fists. Also, how do we know 'Parasite' wasn't recorded after the end of the 'indestructible sessions'. Maybe we shouldn't list them as b-sides, but as additional tracks. Nineinchsin (talk) 17:26, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Because it was released on the Transformers soundtrack which was last summer. They didn't mix the tracks from the Indestructible session until January of this year. Which would mean they went into the studio while they were writing to record "This Moment" before they were in the studio during the fall/winter to record Indestructible. I mean, there were news posts on the Disturbed website that said when they went into the studio to record the new album. Of course David is going to call it a b-side. What else is he going to say? "Hey this is a song we wrote for the transformers soundtrack." That's just dumb. And going back into the studio to record a b-side just to put on the "Inside the Fire" single is just idiotic. They already had some b-sides left over from the recording session so why would they not use one of them? David specifically said they recorded 15 songs during the Indestructible session. the 12 on the standard album "Run" that is on the limited edition, "Midlife Crisis" which david confirmed in an interview and "Parasite" which is on the "Inside the Fire" single, that's 15 tracks.hav0xx (talk) 17:40, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Parasite

The newest BSide. Yes, I know there's lots of speculation that it's a BSide to Indestructible (In fact, it is). But, Wikipedia is reference-based. We can't post information that is purely speculation, unless you have the facts written somewhere, don't edit this. Look at Criminal, it was supposedly a B Side to Ten Thousand Fists. Yet they never released it, re-recorded it, and put it in Indestructible. How do you know they won't do that with Parasite? My point is, don't post this unless it's either A) Already released, or B) Announced officially. Dude527 (talk) 23:34, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

There's clips of the song on various websites, including: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpfwyL3sg70 and http://www.nuclearblast-musicshop.de/album_info.php?album_id=524986782 ... I believe that's enough proof... Dan (talk) 02:22, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Exactly. "Criminal" was a Ten Thousand Fists b-side that was later re-recorded. It doesn't matter that it wasn't released at the time or the original recording wasn't released, the point is it was a song the band recorded that didn't make the album. "Parasite" clearly didn't make the album, but even if it was never released or it was re-recorded for a later album, again the point is it was a song recorded during the Indestructible sessions that didn't make the album. But that isn't exactly the case since it's going to be featured on the "Inside the Fire" single. Vixen Windstorm (talk) 02:48, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Yes, but my point is sometimes things just don't make it on. For all we know, Parasite could still fail to appear on the single, that's why I think we should wait to put it up until it is released, just to be certain. Oh, and YouTube videos are hardly convincing evidence, considering anybody can put videos on YouTube. Oh well, I can't wait for this song anyways, I'm going to try and find some more information about it. If I find anything, I'll reference. How do we know this was recorded during the Indestructible sessions anyways though? Can I get a reference for that? Or are we just speculating? Dude527 (talk) 22:49, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

See now that is a good point. But all this time you've been saying it has to be released to be considered a b-side, which isn't true. If a song was recorded for an album but didn't make the track listing, whether it's released later on or it's never to be heard by the public, it's still a b-side by terminology. But you're right about no source saying it's specifically an Indestructible b-side, so okay it stays off the list until then. Vixen Windstorm (talk) 01:40, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

No, my point was that there was no references for the song, at all. It was mysteriously listed there and I couldn't find anything on Google. So, yeah, I think I was just misunderstood, miscommunication ftw... Anyways, if I find any information on it, that's a reliable source, I will post Dude527 (talk) 23:30, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

← There is no reason to doubt that "Parasite" is not from the Indestructible session. We have no idea if "Run" was from the indestructible session either and yet it is accepted. 1/2 of the stuff on wikipedia is not referenced. So if you're not going to go through and find every single sentence that isn't referenced in every article, stop fighting this one. If you can prove that it is NOT from the Indestructible session then by all means remove it. All information we have about this song points to it being a newly written/recorded song. It is on the "Inside the Fire" single, which is an "Indestructible" track. David has confirmed that there were 15 songs recorded, all of which are accounted for if you count "Parasite". There are no remaining b-sides from "The Sickness", the entire list of songs was revealed on the MOL DVD, including "Divide". Disturbed has never said that there are any more b-sides from "Believe" and all b-sides from "Ten Thousand Fists" have been accounted for ("Criminal" is on "Indestructible"). Until you have information proving that there is a b-side that is not accounted for then leave it alone. hav0xx (talk) 01:00, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Then wait for there to be proof. We can't simply post something because of fan speculation, we need hard evidence, for track listing, it wouldn't matter so much if it was in the development section or something, but we need to get the track listing right. We know Run is a b-side because it's listed directly on the official website. There is nothing about Parasite there, though. There are 3 b-sides on Indestructible, and it was actually announced that This Moment was one. I don't remember where I found that, but I saw it. The point is, although we don't have any proof it's NOT on Indestructible, we don't have any proof that it is either, therefore, it does not belong here. It could be just a random song recorded for something other then a studio album, and released with this Single package to make people buy it; Korn does that a lot. Find me some solid evidence, then I will allow you to post it, but if you can't then don't post it. Read the Wikipedia rules, things MUST have proof on here, we cannot simply go by speculation. If you refuse to comply, I will get this article protected, as you are breaking Wikipedia rules and vandalising an article. I know you're trying to help, but a track listing on a website, is not compelling evidence. Dude527 (talk) 01:10, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Alright, I'll be going through this article and deleting EVERYTHING that doesn't have a source directly related to it. hav0xx (talk) 01:12, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Just found something interesting. At http://www.nuclearblast-musicshop.de/album_info.php?album_id=524986782 it says "Parasite (Non-Album Track) 3:25". So, now there is a bit of evidence it's NOT on Indestructible, because the closest thing to our only source says it's not on the album. Dude527 (talk) 22:58, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Non-Album Track means that it's not from the Indestructible Album. It doesn't mean that it's not from the recording session.hav0xx (talk) 23:20, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Still, this is as good of a reference we have right now. I'm pretty sure it's not from this album in any way. Dude527 (talk) 23:22, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Hey, good job on finding that, hopefully we find something a little more solid so that we can post this song. Dude527 (talk) 01:06, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

No, nevermind, I just went out and bought the vinyl, hoping it was on there... The tracks are "Inside the Fire", and "Perfect Insanity"... No Parasite to be seen... So that reference counts for crap now... Sorry guy. Dude527 (talk) 02:33, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Parasite HAS been released as a B-Side to Indestructible. You can buy it here: http://www.7digital.com/artists/disturbed/inside-the-fire-1 Today I edited the page to take into accoutn this new info (and sourced), but my edit was STILL deleted and I was warned. Now, that is bullshit. How much more proof do you need that I'm not "vandalizing". I own the song myself for god's sake. But, since I dont want to be banned from editing b/c some hot shot mod doesnt take the time to check my source (you know, his JOB) I ask that someone else please add this song to the list. halo0001X 01:46, 18 May 2008 (EST) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.1.23.179 (talk)

Thanks for sending me the track, halo ;). However, we still can't add this to the list. We know it exists, yes, but Wikipedia is no crystal ball yadda yadda and speculation has no place here, and, although there's a strong chance Parasite is from Indestructible, we still have no acknowledged evidence, no statements to say "This is a b-side from Indestructible", even if we do have documents that say "This is a song sold with a song from Indestructible." Do you understand? Dude527 (talk) 09:47, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Oh and I should add, J.delanoy, is not a mod, there aren't mods on Wikipedia. There are IPs, users, and admin. And to clear this all up, J.delanoy and I are not, and I repeat, not, saying that Parasite isn't a b-side. We are saying, there is no proof as of yet, and something with no proof obviously doesn't belong on a factual-based encyclopedia. Dude527 (talk) 19:45, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

← Up unitl the mention of "Indestructible", disturbed fans have known the name of all disturbed's songs (released and non) since The Sickness. In all these years, a song named "Parasite" was never, ever heard of. Never even been reported as played. Then, a month away from release of their new album, this track is released for sale (with) songs from the album. >.> I mean, while we dont have a "crystal ball" as you put it to prove beyond the shadow of a doubt that this song is indeed from this album, all sings (ALL) point to it being so. We dont have absolute proof as to the unquestionable existance of "evolution" but all sings point to yes. I'm not saying that is something says otherwise we shouldn't remove/relocate it, I'm just saying that if it smells liken a dog and looks like a dog and sounds like a dog: 99% of the time it's a dog. Halo0001X 17:00, 18 May 2008 (EST) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.1.23.179 (talk)

Yes, but what we're watching out for is that other 1% of the time. Although we have many things pointing to it being part of Indestructible, we still can't say, for certain, that it IS part of Indestructible, only with strong confidence. Unfortunetely, encyclopedias are not based on strong confidence, but on facts. Besides, the purchased track clearly is titled "Parasite (Non-album Track)". Dude527 (talk) 21:47, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Exactly. It's not on the album, "non-album". Now, am I wrong or are not all B-Sides "non-album". Just because that site chose to credit it as a "non-album" track as opposed to a "B-Side" is just arguing semantics. Encyclopedias are based on facts, very true. So are science books. The things inside them are a collection of facts that best represent the content. Well, all of the facts that we currently have at our disposal tell us that this is an Indestructible B-Side. Hence, it should be listed. And, if (like also happens in PRINTED science books) our facts end up wrong (which is highly doubtful) then isn't that exactly why Wikipedia is so easily reversible/easy to edit? It would take all of 3 minutes to quickly fix the error. Halo0001X 22:47, 18 May 2008 (EST) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.1.23.179 (talk)

I like how you have a nice, big vocabulary. An encyclopedia is not a science book, and wikipedia is not a crystal ball, so we can't post something, no matter how likely to be true it is, unless it is confirmed to be true, which this is not. We have NO facts at our disposal, only speculation. Dude527 (talk) 03:27, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Actually, we do have "facts". Quite a few of them to be honest. Fact #1: No one has EVER heard of this song before the release of "Indestructible" tracks. Fact #2: This track if for sale with other tracks from Indestructible. Fact #3: Disturbed recorded 15 songs for this CD, 12 of which are on the actual CD, and 3 B-Sides. Currently there are already 2 B-Sides listed, leaving one open slot. Fact #4: The track is found on the "B-Side" of the Inside the Fire CD UK release. Now, all of these are FACTS. We have have them, so as such we do have facts that point to this being exactly what it is: an Indestructible b-side. These things are not "speculation" as you claim, as all of them can be proven. Hence, based on the facts, this track should be listed. Halo0001X 12:46, 19 May 2008 (EST) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.1.23.179 (talk)

All of your so-called "facts" are simply original research, which is not allowed. J.delanoy ^gabs _adds 17:53, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Ok, you just made me waste my time with facts I already knew, so I'll waste time with yours. Fact 1. Sickened was a UK-Exclusive track, Hell was US-exclusive, and Two Worlds was available everywhere. Fact 2. "Run" is a US-exclusive, and "Parasite" is a UK-exclusive. Fact 3: Disturbed usually likes to distribute their b-sides equally between the US and the UK, from experience. In that case, Parasite would be a b-side to Indestructible. However, there's a hidden fact. Fact 4: Wikipedia does not accept unreferenced, unsourced, speculated, etc, etc, and beyond beliefs. That last fact completely collides with the other 3, and it restricts us, so that, until Disturbed confirms that Parasite is a b-side, until we have a written, official reference, we cannot post it, no matter how many other "facts" we have. Fortunetly, I'm fairly sure that that new website coming out, will have all the b-sides in it's content, sectioned, etc. Therefore, if we find "Parasite" under "Indestructible b-sides", with "Run", and "Midlife Crisis (Faith No More cover)", or Disturbed officially announces it, we can't list it. Dude527 (talk) 21:40, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Well, may I first state that I did not post my "facts" to waste you time, in fact I was sure you already knew all of them, but they needed to be restated to prove my point. I will now abandon my cause of getting this track listed, dispite the fact that all logical thinking and rational point otherwise. It honestly doesn't matter to me that the track is or is not listed, since I was only trying to make it easier for the "uninformed" disturbed fan to find out about this song. Either way, I while I still dont agree with the supposed "logic" put forth by both you J, I find that I don't wish to waste anymore of my time in a pointless debate in which neither side wishes to admit defeat. So, don't take my resignation as me admitting you were right, as I whole heartedly believe otherwise. But my true vindication will come when I or someone else finds a "source" where David goes onto youtube and speaks directly into the camera and says that "Parasite is a B-Side from Indesturctible" quickly followed by an under-the-breath "G*ddamn, do people need eveything spelled out for them?". And so, when that song finally rests in its long deserved place on the Indestructible wikipedia page, I will have my revenge...my sweet, sweet revenge..........Eh, I'm just messing with you, I dont really care anymore. :p Later man! Halo0001X 20:22, 19 May 2008 (EST)

We can't back down because there's regs, and we follow them. Trust me, I want to find a source as well, I want this song up, the trouble is it can't go up, not without a reference, as stated many a time by myself. Anyways, you're saying you don't think following the rules and citing an actual source is right? Because that's our "logic", and it's kind of the "rules" of Wikipedia. Dude527 (talk) 00:53, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Even if "Parasite" isn't listed in this article, the "uninformed" Disturbed fan can always find the song indisputably listed in the "Inside the Fire" article. Vixen Windstorm (talk) 02:28, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Leaks

If any leaks for this album come, before June 3rd, I'm going to say this now, do not post that the album has been leaked. This happened to Korn's Untitled, and it definitely decreased sales, because people started searching for the leaks. Dude527 (talk) 23:49, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

This is an encyclopedia of events that happen, and there is no proof that this website made a major impact on their album. When it leaks, I'll make sure the info is on this page. Nickoladze (talk) 02:16, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Why? It's like spitting in the band's face Dude527 (talk) 02:28, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

More like spitting in the record company's face. The band generally doesn't get much from record sales.
And besides, whenever I download a leak I still get the album if I like it. If I don't, I've saved myself $10. =P Razer922 (talk) 13:35, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Actually, Disturbed once stated in an interview that they do not care about people downloading their music off the internet. Lords of Metal Interview: David Draiman. He put it simply "I have no problem with it, what so ever.".

Either way, I still buy every Disturbed album which is released. I prefer it that way. --сояdRдzіиз-effect (talk) 06:29, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

I still don't think this page should be edited when (if) that occurs, but I understand I don't have a lot of choice. Dude527 (talk) 09:55, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Just edit it if any information on leaks appears on the main page. I'm sure you're not the only one who thinks it should remain unspoken. But either way, those who want to download it will find it on warez sites. : --сояdRдzіиз-effect (talk) 09:43, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Cordrazineeffect, he never stated he doesn't have a problem with illegal, free downloading, he stated he didn't have a problem with people buying the songs online. Read it again.

He actually has stated many times that he doesn't have a problem with illegal downloading. He said it is the record companies fault for being so against the internet instead of adopting it early like they should have. I was at a concert right after the release of TTF in which he asked who bought the album, and then he asked who downloaded it. After he said that he said that if you downloaded it all he asks is that you share it with your friends. hav0xx (talk) 22:31, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Nice. I've never seen Disturbed live, and the closest I'm going to get is that internet show on the 29th. That should be sick. I've personally only sen Korn live... 3 times and all lol. Anyways, I still don't think the public should know if a leak appears. Dude527 (talk) 23:04, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Actually as Hav0xx said, he has said it many times. While in that particular interview I agree with you, he didn't say that, but he has said before that he's fine with people downloading music illegally before. --сояdRдzіиз-effect (talk) 06:47, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Well, I don't understand the big deal with posting leaks. The people who download leaked albums are going to download it regardless of whether it's up on Wikipedia or not. You are being naive if you think that posting a link on Wikipedia will make any difference, and extremely naive at that. You don't understand the workings of the internet, don't talk like you do.

Who says it's naive to remove the mention that it was leaked? I know how often leaks are reported on Wikipedia, and when it's worth it I'll even follow up on the leak; then I buy the album. But the fact is that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and it has nothing to do with the workings of the Internet, it has to do with the workings of Wikipedia, and you are being naive to think that leaks have reserved their permanent place here. Vixen Windstorm (talk) 19:34, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

That's not what I said. Fact of the matter is that the link I provided in my edit is one people can normally not reach (the website in question can only be accessed while logged in and membership is invite-only). While it would still provide a source to prove that it has indeed leaked, it doesn't give people directly access to it. Posting info that the album has been leaked is perfectly in line with WP standards, it doesn't hold any less value than any of those points listed in the Development area. However, I will state that this is my own opinion, one that obviously isn't shared here (perfectly fine by the way, an opinion is your own). Jelco.galactaboy (talk) 21:26, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

You realize that this album leaked to the website in question, but is now available on torrent sites, some of which you don't need even need to be registered with, right? Sure at the time you made the mention of the leak in the article, it wasn't publicly accessible, but it doesn't take long to spread to P2P networks and torrent communities. I'm not against leaks at all, I just don't think that the fact that it leaked should be mentioned in an encyclopedic article about the album. It would be nice to have more opinions on the subject than yours and myself though. Vixen Windstorm (talk) 22:41, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

I must say that I totally agree with both sides, but it's only because I have the leak AND pre-ordered the limited edition, so I guess I'm on both sides. Regardless, whether or not the leak info gets on here, I guess I'm just glad it finally happened. User:Jigsaw 541

Alternatively, it could have been that Untitled was considered a flop among critics and the negative word hurt the album, Ten Thousand Fists was leaked and it didn't affect sales. As a middle ground, and knowing personally that it has indeed been extensively leaked and is now on every medium for free download available, I would suggest it be added the album was leaked after the June 3rd release. This wouldn't "hurt sales", and it would be encyclopedic, though I have no issue with adding the information or leaving it out, I could go either way in the argument really.Revrant (talk) 03:42, 29 May 2008 (UTC)\

here is proof that it was leaked [LINK DELETED]

You should pay closer attention to this discussion. We all know Indestructible has been circulating the Internet since Tuesday, it's not up for debate and we don't need any further proof. It leaked, we know; this talk is regarding whether it is notable to mention the leak prior to the album's release in five days. And do not post direct links to album leaks on this page. Vixen Windstorm (talk) 00:03, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

I think it is notable for the leak to be noted, although no links to sites hosting the album should be shown, maybe just "the album was leaked on whatever date" after all, it is fact it has been leaked and isn't wikipedia about facts? 83.100.150.72 (talk) 09:21, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Yes, it is fact, but it's not a notable fact at all. Dude527 (talk) 16:33, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Protection Request

I requested protection for this article, on the grounds that too many random IPs (And also many users) are editing in the song "Parasite" in B-sides, without references, besides a pre-order form of the CD that the song is on. They have no proof it belongs to this album at all, therefore I'm requesting protection until proof shows up. Dude527 (talk) 21:33, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Well I hope that it gets protection granted sometime soon. There are way too many non-registered (and even registered) users adding worthless input to this article, so much that there has to be this giant section of hidden text that completely butchers the concept of proper formatting of a Wikipedia article, just so people like this think twice (or in this case several times) before adding information that does not belong here in the first place. Vixen Windstorm (talk) 02:41, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Album/Song Lengths

At that listening party on the 23rd, I'm going to go there with a stopwatch and a notebook and record all the songs lengths and the album's length. If I post those here, will someone take them off? Dude527 (talk) 23:36, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Well, doing something like that, again falls under Wikipedia's policy against original research. With the album still having not been leaked, then if it were to do so, it wouldn't be too much longer before the track lengths from the physical song files can be posted in the article. The listening parties are taking place just about two weeks before the album's release which doesn't leave much time left for the album to potentially leak anyways, so we could go with track listings submitted through original research, or we could wait until the album itself has become available to observe, when it is leaked or officially released. Vixen Windstorm (talk) 02:43, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Yep I agree, it's original research and chances are that the lengths you record aren't going to be 100% correct anyway. It's only 2 more weeks until release, do we really need to know how long each track is ahead of time? hav0xx (talk) 04:00, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Definitely not a necessity but it'd be nice to know and would aid the article, somewhat. Dude527 (talk) 05:26, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Midlife Crisis on Special Edition; source doesn't match

I just checked the source that says Midlife Crisis will be on a special edition, and its tracklist doesn't match up with the one we've come to know and is currently in the article. It's only 10 tracks and they don't even match up (it even has Run on it). Should we disregard this source as a "marketing mix up"? Razer922 (talk) 04:54, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

“

On May 21, 2008, a special pre-order edition of this album was released in Disturbed's official webstore. This edition only featured 9 of the original tracks, but the tenth was the second b-side "Midlife Crisis". If you pre-order this edition, you can also save money on two shirts.^[1]

”

As the article indicates, it's apparently a special, 10-track edition of the album. I don't see how it could be a mix up. Incorrect ordering of tracks, or spelling mistakes are mix ups; the inclusion of two non-album tracks, going so far as to include the original artist for one of which is a cover is a pushing it a bit in terms of status as a mistake. Vixen Windstorm (talk) 05:25, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I agree. If it was a few typos or something, sure, but to expect them to make that big of a mistake: I doubt it. For now it seems pretty legit. Halo0001X 0:46, 24 May 2008 (EST) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.1.23.179 (talk)

Why would it be inaccurate?? It's been up for 4 days now, so either A) they're dumb enough to not realize that they put a false track listing after 4 days, or B) They put a smaller track listing to make people but both version of the album + the shirts = lots of more money for Warner. Now which do you think it is; A or B? Dude527 (talk) 15:26, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Live at Riviera tracks

I was going to put this in the edit summary, but it became too long. Quotations are for song titles. For example, the official song name isn't "Stupify (Live at Riviera)", it's a version of "Stupify", performed live at Riviera. Including the version name in the quotations becomes inconsistent with the Wikipedia presentation of songs that actually incorporate a subtitle in brackets (for example, something like "Change (In the House of Flies)"; first example that popped up in my head). Vixen Windstorm (talk) 23:44, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Show me the regs that it would become inconsistent with. And another issue, I believe "Midlife Crisis" should be in the "Bonus Tracks" section, Run is and it's included as a bonus on a version of the CD, and so is Midlife Crisis... I think either A) They're both on or B) They're both off. Edit: Nevermind the "Midlife Crisis" thing, it's part of the main tracks of that version of the album... I forgot, sorry.Dude527 (talk) 23:53, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Lol that was my reason for removing it from the bonus tracks section; it's cool. I don't get what you mean by showing you what it becomes inconsistent with though, the example with the article I linked to made it pretty clear what I meant. I'm just saying that there are songs that actually have a title in brackets as part of the song's name ("Welcome Home (Sanitarium)", "Change (In the House of Flies)", "Heart-Shaped Glasses (When the Heart Guides the Hand)", etc.) and there are songs which have names without bracketed titles, but are still followed by them to indicate a specific version or such ("Stricken" (Live), "Only" (El-P Remix), "Another Brick in the Wall" (Pink Floyd cover)), the latter which applies to these particular Disturbed songs.

Songs available

So, I don't want to update the page just so someone can get rid of it right away, so that said, is anyone going to put up the fact that the songs are available at a few places now?

Bonus Edition Does Not Exist

If you go back to the page where the 10-song edition od the cd with "Midlife Crisis" and "Run", you will see that it was nothing but a misunderstanding, so I removed it. Do not add it again.

I changed the first paragraph to read "The fourth album" instead of "the upcoming fourth album." If there are any more future tense references that I miss, please change them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Konraden88 (talk • contribs) 16:05, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Since the album has been released digitally and is just two days from being on shelves, I think we should get rid of all the info about promotion and whatnot (like the Hot Topic listening party and the YouTube previews) since it really won't matter to anyone once the album is out. I'll do that soon if no one disagrees. Powerslave (talk|cont.) 16:50, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

I think all the info should stay, just in past tense. It's all still valid information. Dude527 (talk) 00:22, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

But just exactly how encyclopedic is it now that the album is out? Powerslave (talk|cont.) 06:58, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

I don't think it's very relevant at this point. Before the album's release, it was almost filler, informing the reader about everything known. Now, however, a listening party at hot topic or the fact that the band kept quiet for a while about the album does not seem important. Dan (talk) 18:15, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

IGN Review

I'm going to go ahead and say this before anyone adds it, I'm going to have to insist we only put up professional reviews, and considering this one was written by some intern, not a noted reviewer, was very unprofessional, mocked the band, insulted their talents, made mention of other "much better" acts in a non-objective manner, and gained a firestorm of rejection from the IGN Music community, especially considering how fair they were with Ten Thousand Fists, I'm going to have to state I am against having it on the article.

Agreed. The reviews that are there now are fine. However, we should add one or two negative reviews to keep NPOV. Tim meh ! 21:17, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

I think the three out of five stars review is a good example, unless someone can find as professional a review with a negative score, I've had trouble finding any myself, usually you would have to go to an extreme metal focused site to get a negative score, but it wouldn't be professional at all.Revrant (talk) 23:50, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
