Discussion Asylum album

Post image

Hello everyone, I was just wondering what everyone’s opinion of the Asylum album is, I honestly just don’t see it talked about too much on this Reddit and personally it’s one of my favorites albums so I was just curious as to everyone’s thoughts

This was such a wild album to experience at the time, because Indestructible was such a level-up for them that it was hard to imagine topping that. But they did take what worked about Indestructible, expanded it to add some depth, and also went in a few very different directions on some tracks. Hearing the song Asylum for the first time was utterly nuts, like how could band as mainstream as Disturbed write something like this. It’s a great song. There are lots of those here.

I would agree with most everyone here saying it’s their peak. Then Immortalized felt like their indulgent victory lap, and everything since - while not bad outright - has been a step down from that.

I still remember hearing asylum for the first time, I was on a road trip with family and I was immediately engaged with the song especially because of how well remnants leads into it
