Did you ever pick up Indestructible? It's a must for the Disturbed fan.

I just listened to Thirty Round Clip, have they seen light of day up North? Take a pound of Disturbed and mix in a cup of Korn and you basically have a recipe for 30RC. It's still a pretty good album though because they Rock despite the borrowed styles.
I just haven't brought myself to getting that Disturbed title yet. I'm sure I will eventually.

If you can handle Pantera and Disturbed, you can handle Mastadon - it's a little math-rockish at times but if you listen for it you'll hear some decent music underneath the complexity and heavy.
I threw their first album (Leviathan) on today for the first time in awhile. It's a pretty darn good album too, so I guess you can't go wrong with either. It may actually be the one preferred by more people. Either way.
