Disturbed claimed their place in the nu-metal hall of fame with their 2000 full-length debut, The Sickness. Naturally, a great deal of this comes down to the eternally awesome bruise-groove of the Chicago foursomes signature Down with the Sickness (featuring vocalists David Draimans iconically feral oooh-ah-ah-ah). Still, the rest of the record is an all-killer introductory outing that features pensively judding anti-racism anthems (Stupify), funky beatdowns (The Game) and a murky-but-undeniably melodic reimagining of Tears for Fears Shout. It became clear quite quick that the metal world was totally down with Disturbeds Sickness.
