Music Review!
My new review is on Disturbed's fourth album "Indestructible". I mention the number of albums to illustrate the point right off the top that this band is not bad, and they certainly have an audience. It's just that the music lack's a little depth. It's all a bit Metalite for me ( Read more... ) -
