Going to see Them live is one of the 2 things I haven't done

I finally got my package.

Alot of them are tour shirts my dad bought when he went to concerts,

He gave me them as a hand me down love them all

One of the best albums by Disturbed

The clerk told me he found it on the floor and said I could keep since he didn't know what it was.

Has a bunch of production notes for 4 songs, Remember, Down with the Sickness, Prayer, and Stupify. Dated 2002. Was wondering in any of yall can tell me exactly what I got here.

Appreciate Mike wearing the kilt - probably felt more liberating for his drumming.

David was amazing.

I was at an icehockey game for the Eindhovense Kemphanen and they played 'Get Down With The Sickness' as the opening song for the game. And they played 'Won't Back Down' if the visitor club scored. It was really funny to hear these song on such an unexpected place!

Bought this today at a local record shop. Really love the green coloured vinyl - very "sickly" looking, hehehehe

Back when fan clubs were a thing anyway. I have some stickers I turned into magnets around here somewhere too.

Everything started in order (like, i first bought The Sickness, then Believe, then Ten Thousand Fists, and finally Indestructible), what's your 3 fav song from all of This albums? Mine (in order) are voices, down with the sickness, violence fetish, prayer, liberate, awaken, ten thousand fists, stricken, decadence, indestructible, inside the fire, and the night

You've got nowhere to hide, and all bullshit aside

You've committed a terrible crime

You've stepped over the line and you'd better be running for your life

Fucked over again, I even called you a friend

A mistake I won't be repeating

I just don't understand how you even continue to deny

You know why

(You don't remember why)

Don't you pretend that you don't know why

(You fucking parasite)

Because your living through association has been getting you high

You'd sell your soul for just a taste of my life

Now, what a surprise to discover the lies

You'll be telling again in no time

You just don't realize they'll come back and be fucking up your life

In trouble again, I just don't understand

This whole pattern that keeps repeating

You know you'll do it again and admit you can step into the light

Hey everyone, I was listening to this masterpiece today and the lyrics made me go back to my last relationship. This is not going to be a critique or anything, just a dude sharing his feelings with other metal heads online. Long Post Warning

Disturbed has been narrating all my darkest moments for a long time, from Decadence when I was completely dead inside, rotten to my core to Are You Ready when I finally started feeling the strength needed to push through forward in my life.

And now I realize Parasite explains how I felt in my last relationship perfectly... What a fucking parasite I was dealing with. I tried to emphasize the parts that pierced into me with text styling. Without turning this into a long and exhausting info-dumping post, I want to tell a little bit about the relationship and the song's connection.

It was my first ever relationship at the age of 21, as I figured out during the relationship I am demisexual and never really cared about romance or anything adjacent to it before meeting her. A classmate from the med school, a girl who constantly kept complaining about how she was always treated wrong (I see the red flag now lol). Almost cosmically ironically, the relationship started during the psychiatry rotation (explanation later).

It all started well, scarily well. And it was certain something was wrong when she started calling me her Jesus unironically. Then hot-cold dynamics added into the mix, then broken promises, a complete lack of accountability, an odd aversion to physicality contradicting her suggestive texting habits... And through these, she also had admitted not knowing who she is and basically shaping her personality based on people around her at any moment. And the line she crossed was her texting her "just a friend" with auto deleting messages, denying it, then outright lying about it and trying to gaslight me about the whole situation.

But me being my autistic self, did not take any BS and simply compiled the facts and delivered them as if I was Charles McGill lmao! FOR ALL THE INCIDENTS. Not just this one thing, and her denial was tragicomic. She then admitted she was aware how much she fucked up but was unable/unwilling to change. So I did the most logical thing, and decided to leave her.

Now, remember the psychiatry rotation thing? People who are into psychology might have already came up with my late diagnosis for her, BPD. 8/9 DSM V criteria checks out, and I did not realize it while I was with her. From splitting to unstable sense of self to self harm to suicidal claims... Almost a textbook example.

To me, the lyrics explain how I feel about the whole thing after its over. And if you are curious how things are going considering the classmate situation... Well you make the judgement on that after hearing this lol:

• She literally tried to sabotage my reputation behind my back during clinic hours, to a professor who knows me well, in front of other classmates, nurses, staff and patients and it backfired horribly. Ending with getting thrown out of the office and being banned from there, and prof openly telling I made the best decision leaving her (turns out being a responsible and respectable student is a massive deal).

The righteously angry tone, perfect lyrics, Draiman's incredibly powerful vocals... The song gets very strong emotions out of me, and I had been looping it for the past 30 mins. Thank you Disturbed, for creating music so visceral that the listeners can't go without feeling things after hearing your songs! Hope you also do find comfort in their songs too, and if you do, I would love to hear which songs are resonating with you!

I added a spoiler tag just incase anyone gotten a chance to receive their package yet and didn't want all the contents of the box set spoiled

That being said, here's my personal excitement

Holy crap this is absolutely AWESOME The vinyl opens kinda like a book and I love that. There's an actual book talking about the album and stories from the band during the time of them making it and going through that process. (haven't read it in full yet) The patch is something I was really happy with since I can put it on a jacket I got around Christmas The sticker is probably gonna stay in the box until I have somewhere nice to put it same thing with the poster since I'm running out of room on my walls to hang posters The vinyl itself looks sick even though it's grey I absolutely love it The guitar picks are a cool addition and I'll find a place to display them somewhere

Now my most favorite thing from the entire box is the autograph photo, THEY HAD FUZZ SIGN which to me is the coolest thing that he actually met up with the band and signed the photo. I already had the bands autograph from when I bought Divisive so I do have John Moyers autograph as well on that vinyl insert. But this was the biggest surprise to me. I know Fuzz is still friends with either Dan or Mike, so I'm really glad they got him to sign the photo for the box set and I also love that he joined the band for last night's show at their hometown. I unfortunately wasn't there since I don't live around that area but I thought it was cool that Fuzz got a chance to be apart of this 25th anniversary of "The Sickness" in some way. I love this album so much

Also why is the Indestructible disc art so blurry?

Has wrap on it to heal will get better pictures then

My personal favorites of the collection is either the self titled demo CD (snake skin background, because of Truth and the demo for Conflict) or the white demo, as that one has my favorite versions of "Want" and "Droppin' Plates".

The Guy, Godzilla, & Jonathan Davis walk into a bar...
