Top 10 Best Device Songs
If you're a fan of driving synth-rock with a dark, industrial edge, chances are you've already discovered the sonic punch of Device. Fronted by Disturbed's David Draiman, this side project hit like a shot of adrenaline when it dropped in 2013.
Unlike the familiar growls and crunch of Draiman's main gig, Device took a turn into cybernetic territory, melding electronic grit with muscular metal in a way that felt both futuristic and feral.
It wasn't just Draiman bringing the heat. With former Filter guitarist Geno Lenardo by his side, the self-titled debut album came loaded with pulsing beats, mechanical textures, and just the right amount of venom. The tracks came armed with a sharp edge and a slick, aggressive sound that never felt like leftovers from Disturbed sessions.
Add in some killer guest appearances like Lzzy Hale, Serj Tankian, and M. Shadows, and you've got an album that refused to play it safe. Every song reached for something intense, mixing melody with menace in equal measure.
Now you're here to separate the bruisers from the bruised. What are the best Device songs?

You Think You Know
I have never worn out a song as much as this one. The first day I heard it, I listened to it over and over again. I just couldn't get enough of it.
It's got one of the best choruses ever, and the main riff is fantastic. I still listen to this song all the time, and it still sounds fresh.
My hat goes off to Device for crafting possibly the most addicting song to ever grace the Earth.
You Think You Know is a great song. The choruses are gripping and great, melodious choruses.
When this song was released, I knew right away that this song is going to hit the charts.

Vilify
Vilify was the first song I, and most, heard of Device, and while it is reminiscent of Disturbed, it has a new direction which I believe makes this song the best on the album. I think this was an excellent choice for the single.

Out of Line
Amazing song. I don't want to take anything away from Vilify or Haze, which are also great. Aside from the great riffs, the lyrics are really what grabbed me. Awesome delivery and charged content make for the absolutely brutal feel that I grew to love with Disturbed (listen to Indestructible and The Animal) and am happy to see taken in a new direction with Device.
"Their Machiavellian minds concoct their wicked designs."
This song is my favorite and, to me, their best. Serj and David's duet is incredible, and it really delivers an interesting message. Great song. To me, the blend of Disturbed and System.

Haze
Absolutely amazing song, along with M. Shadows, just makes it even more epic.
This song gives you chills, and Shadow's vocals are an amazing bonus.
-
Hunted
The overall feel of the song is great, not to mention the vocals.
This should be No. 1.
It's pure sex for the ears. David's voice is awesome on this one. He overdid himself with this one.

Penance
Most 'Disturbed' song on the album and pretty damn awesome in its own right. Vilify and You Think You Know are the top 'Device' tracks, no doubt, but as a Disturbed fan, I love this track.
Being a Disturbed fan, this song is very similar to Disturbed songs. Love it!

War of Lies

Close My Eyes Forever
Both David Draiman and Lizzy Hale sounded fantastic as this song was an excellent cover.
-
Through It All
This song not only has Glen Hughes singing along but yet is meaningful.

This one's better than half the ones on this list. How could it be last! Give it a try!
Dude, my third favorite song from them after Hunted and Opinion.
