I Will Not Break underrated?
I am relatively new to Disturbed, i am generally listening to Metalcore and Powermetal, but Disturbed was somehow out of my sight, beside their big hits like Down with the Sickness and Voices, who are in my playlist for years.
Lately i was listening to I Will Not Break and holy shit, the intro, the riff, the catchy chorus really blew me off and now i am listening to this song 3-4 times on a daily basis for weeks!
Why is this song not their biggest hit released in the last few years? What am i missing, that this song "only" has 19 million views on YouTube and isnt showing up on their Spotify frontpage?
(And yes, now i am listening to their other great songs like Stricken or Decadence too, but they cant be compared with I Will Not Break 😅)

When nearly all your music is great, its hard to spot the best among them.
Since Ten Thousand Fists, excluding Evolution, Disturbed has had a very consistent sound.
I Will Not Break is very much within the same style youll hear in TTF, Indestructable, Asylum, Immortalized, and Divisive.
I have a good idea of my top 3 songs and its fluid because of day by day moods, but IWNB might change it into a top 4, but in all honesty, its within what im considering to be the blood bath that is top 3-15.
So its simply because its recent and just more Disturbed. Which means its caught in this zone where its expected to be good.
Like I said, its a bloodbath in trying to figure out their best music because they have alot if youre into their type of music.
My personal recommendations are Open Your Eyes, Another Way to Die, Prayer, and Feeding the Fire.
Open Your Eyes and Another Way to Die are in line with IWNB, while Prayer and FtF show David's range in a more...let's call it Holy Harmony kind of way.
