Genre dispute

Please, let's not continue the trend set by countless other Disturbed articles. The two popular genres seem to be hard rock and heavy metal. In this case, there are no references for either of them. I would say, however, it does seem a little softer than heavy metal, and would therefore agree with hard rock. Again, though, no sources means this is debatable. If someone finds a genre sources, please present. If we don't find one, I'm sure this article will suffer the fate of almost all other Disturbed articles. --The Guy _complain ^edits 00:17, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I guess the simple thing to do would be to add both until any sources are found. James25402 (talk) 12:03, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I concur. --The Guy _complain ^edits 20:32, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not trying to stir up another debate, just saying: I think we should go with "Hard rock, heavy metal" for now (making "heavy metal" secondary) because, as The Guy said, this song isn't as loud as heavy metal is. This song is a hard rock song and that is undeniabley true but being that we have no official source(s) that classify the song's genre, I guess we could go with both genres for now but I think it'd be better if we make "heavy metal" secondary until then.--Madroxxide17 (talk) 23:29, 29 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think it matters too much, so we'll leave it as you have suggested. James25402 (talk) 14:26, 30 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Madroxxide17, please do not come here to obtain a consensus and then deliberately break the consensus you yourself have agreed to without discussing. Leave both the genres in the infobox as there are no sources to back your opinion up that this is only a hard rock song. I personally believe this is one of the most obvious examples of heavy metal on the album, but you don't see me removing hard rock because I disagree with it.

All you people claiming this is soft for heavy metal have no idea what you are talking about. This is way to heavy to be hard rock, and it's far heavier than all early heavier metal. It's heavier than Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, even Judas Priest. The only metal that's heavier than this is extreme metal. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:A601:541:D901:E1D1:71E6:E2CC:6158 (talk) 21:40, 1 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
