By the Numbers
Ten Thousand Fists included a cover of Genesis's Land of Confusion (1986), proposed by Dan Donegan; the cover reached number one on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart and is credited to the original Genesis songwriters (Banks, Collins, Rutherford). Stricken was co-written by all four band members.
Ten Thousand Fists is the third studio album by Disturbed, released in September 2005 on Reprise Records and produced by Johnny K. It cemented the band's commercial dominance in mainstream rock and generated the title track, an arena anthem that has become one of the defining rally songs in rock music. Draiman wrote all lyrics; the album includes 'Stricken' (a number-one mainstream rock single), 'Just Stop,' 'Guarded,' and the cover of Genesis's 'Land of Confusion' that reached number one on the rock chart and whose music video received MTV award nominations. Ten Thousand Fists debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 with 198,000 first-week sales and has been certified double platinum in the United States. The album was accompanied by a stage production that included visual elements derived from Draiman's Jewish faith and heritage, adding a visual dimension to the thematic content that had appeared on Believe. Ten Thousand Fists is Disturbed's commercial peak and the album that established them as a genuine arena rock act rather than a genre specialist band.
