Disturbed - "Stupify"


Slipknot - "Duality"

"Duality" is one of the worst-produced songs I've ever heard. The kick drums sound like annoying gnats buzzing around your head, and the hyper-processed vocals are obnoxious. I hate listening to this song. It's also way too long.

"Stupify" is nothing but I will vote for almost anything over "Duality"

Duality was my shit back when it came out, but holy shit that song sucks now in my opinion.

Stupify is hilariously dumb, so that. "Yeah back with another Disturbing creation from the mind of one sick!",

All I wanted was just one FAHK

Duality bc i actually know that song, used to like it, and that Stupify song is ass

Perhaps the most impressive thing about this tournament for me has been the number of these songs that I'd completely forgotten existed and don't even recognize by name, yet find myself recalling note-for-note upon hearing them again. "Stupify" is one of these. I think I must have listened to more of this stuff at the time than I chose to remember.

I'll vote for Slipknot. The silliest thing about either of these songs is the talk-singing in the verses to that song, and silly is the highest bar either of these songs is capable of reaching.

The chorus to "Stupify" sounds like he's going "ribbit ribbit" a lot

Hahahah "all the gente in the barrio... GRAWCK"

I almost want to vote "Stupify" because I think it's the most tolerable Disturbed song in this tournament, and it's introduced some nu metal memes like "ooh wah ah ah ah." The little exotic part in the bridge throws a small amount of color into the song, but it's not much, and there are a few little guitar details throughout that I've never noticed before because I've never listened all that closely or on headphones.

From my experience, "Duality" is the iconic Slipknot song, though I don't know if that hold true in broader circles. It always feels like it's going a bit off the rails, but still fits into a digestible package. I kinda like the silly little bit in the second half where they use an empty keg as a percussion instrument. There's also, remarkably, nothing that I find annoying about the song, which, in a tournament like this, is usually a plus.

So, "Duality" gets my vote on account of not being Disturbed.

i thought oooh wah ah ah ah was down with the sickness, not stupify?

Shit, you're right. I'm confusing my Disturbed songs, and I just listened to the damn thing. I think Jorge's video in the main thread threw me off.

no it's easy to confuse all of these. they all sound the same.

howie mandel ftw

I actually liked the Slipknot song more.
