Evolution (Deluxe Edition)

Evolution is Disturbed’s seventh studio album.
Released by Reprise Records on October 19th, 2018. It peaked at #4 on Billboard 200, and stayed on the charts for 12 weeks.

“Are You Ready” was the first single released from Evolution. Prior to its release, Disturbed’s fans could vote for a “heavy” song or a “ballad” for the first single release.
The ballad being released as the second single was “A Reason To Fight”.

In an interview with Blabbermouth David said:

This is the most powerful body of work as a whole that we’ve ever released. We couldn’t be more proud. Also, at the same time, it’s probably the most unique and certainly the most different from anything people have heard from us. There’s plenty of familiarity for half the record. It’s Disturbed meat and potatoes that you’re used to hearing, but half the record is a dramatic left turn. Very, very different. There’s heavy songs and the rest can only be described, because there’s really no other way to define them, as ballads.

On this album Disturbed prioritized doing all the songs they had long planned on doing but never came around to, that being the ballads. That is why this album sticks out and is after that appropriately named – Evolution.
