| The Sickness (Music) | comment |
The Sickness is the debut album of American heavy metal band Disturbed and was first released on March 7, 2000 by Giant and Reprise Records.Unlike much of their later discography, The Sickness is mainly known for its raw, savage, and almost primal ruthlessness in both lyrical and sound content, with many of the tracks focused on being as brutal and disturbing as possible.The Sickness spawned several hits when it came out, including "Stupify," "Down With The Sickness," "Voices", and " The Game"note which wasn't a proper single, just a fan-favorite that brought Disturbed into the mainstream and helped them make a name for themselves. | |

| The Sickness (Music) / int_1e3a9a21 | comment |
Angrish: Draiman's wordless vocalizations combined with the delivery and the topics of many songs come off as this. "The Game": "Stupify": "Look in my face, stare in my soul, I begin to stupify! RAH!!" | |

Crapsack World: In "Down with the Sickness," like an Abusive Parent, "mother society" beats down those who are different until they submit... or snap. | |

Bilingual Bonus: Draiman sometimes slips Hebrew phrases into some of his works. "Tefached" in the bridge of "Stupify" translates to "Be afraid." | |

Concept Album | |
| The Sickness (Music) / int_34f6774c | comment |
Concept Album: Draiman has said he thinks the Rock Opera and the concept album is either dead or isn't possible in the age of the single (digital downloading takes convenience in the place of thematics). That being said, most of the albums can be interpreted as having an overarching theme. The concept behind The Sickness was of course "Sickness": the sickness of your thoughts and psychology (Voices, Meaning of Life), your loved ones (Stupify, The Game, Numb), your environment (A Welcome Burden, Conflict, Violence Fetish) and the sickness of the beasts that inhabit society along with the sick society that created them (Down with the Sickness). The album says "No matter how you try to bring me down (Fear, God of the Mind) I am what I am (Droppin' Plates, Want) and you'll never change that (Down with the Sickness again)". | |

Non-Appearing Title | |
| The Sickness (Music) / int_67784113 | comment |
Non-Appearing Title: The words "Numb" and "Conflict" don't appear anywhere in the songs of the same names. Instead, "Conflict" repeats the word "enemy" dozens of times, so some casual listeners mistake that for the actual name of the song. | |
