Episode 44: Disturbed's "Believe", or You Can Lead The Guy to Water, But You Can't Make Him Rock

The P.O.D. Kast

He's baaaaaack! We are covering our favorite nu-metal Capital-G Guy for the third time on this show (including bonuses), as David Draiman and Disturbed make their triumphant return to the podcast in our review of "Believe", the band's second studio album. It turns out that we end up spending a LOT of time talking about THEIR Capital-G Guy, their logo, who is called...well, he's called "The Guy". What started as a smiley face ends up the star of a comic book as "The Vengeful One", a story so insane it prompts Bryan to buy the comic book they based off of this character in the middle of the episode. And boy is this episode everything you expect, as we both start out liking the album and then it takes a back-half turn into a bunch of songs with B-side flavor and we predictably turn on it. We also watch one of our favorite video clips of Draiman discussing songwriting, he tells MTV how this album has him "naked on a platter", and he bemoans his status as a rockstar God, serving as some sort of proto-Drake. It's a great time.
