Editorial Reviews:

Amazon.com
The Windy City alt-metal provocateurs Disturbed surprised everyone when their debut, The Sickness, sold over 2 million copies. Here, once again, the band's imperious chrome-domed vocalist David Draiman bleats out the band's messages of nonconformity, self-empowerment, and individuality with a passion and ferocity that hasn't been heard since the '60s--though there's little room for peace, love, and understanding in Disturbed's world. Instead, Draiman laces the band's message with equal parts rage, disgust, and menace, all delivered in a thundering voice that alternates from the lyrical to the grizzled. Ozzy Osbourne has called Disturbed the "future of metal," and he might be right; they have almost single-handedly plucked the genre out of the aggro dung heap and fueled it with intelligence. The band is just as aggressive here as on their debut, but they've lost some of the dark angst, and as a result have created a melodic, psychically lighter album, despite the fact that the CD kicks off with "Prayer," a conversation between Draiman and God, inspired by the singer's grandfather's death. --Jaan Uhelszki

5 out of 5 stars The 2nd Album from Disturbed   September 10, 2005
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

It might not be as hard as the first cd but it is a pretty good headbanger.It is definitly not as explicit as the first even though Liberate is kind of vulgar.All around a kick ass album and I can't wait for the new album Ten Thousand Fists, I love Disturbed Rock On!!!!!!

Believe is Disturbed's second album. Their first album set their style as classic metal, but Believe brings in a more musical aspect with more melodic vocals than their previous album Down With the Sickness. The album Believe is done in Disturbed's style but a little more musically evolved.

Track 1- Prayer- I really liked this song. You can clearly hear what the lead singer is singing. There is a good melody, and I think this was a good song to start the album with. It is a classic rock song.
Track 2-Liberate- This song is faster than the previous one. This song has two distinct tempos. Most of the song is hard and fast, but there are some slower sections. This song is about having an open mind.
Track 3-Awaken- This song starts out slower, and the lead singer's voice is softer. The song is different than the first two, which shows the albums diversity.
Track 4-Believe- The title track of the album is slow like the previous track. This song does not have much variation in the instrumental parts. They are pretty much constant through the whole song.
Track 5-Remember- This song is about remembering past experiences, and maybe not wanting to remember them. I think that this song has better instrument parts and isn't as repetitive as the last track. This song is a little bit depressing, but good.
Track 6-Intoxication- In this song someone is intoxicated with another person. This song has an interesting sound, more of the normal rock style of Disturbed.
Track 7-Rise- This song varies from fast to slow throughout the whole song. I think that this song keeps the listener interested. The song ends fast just when you don't expect it.
Track 8-Mistress- I like the guitar part in this song because it stands out. The mistress in this song is something someone is subjecting himself or herself to that doesn't sound to good for him or her.
Track 9-Breathe- In this song I like the instrumental parts. The drums have a littler bit different beat here. This song's lyrics repeat themselves many times gets repetitive.
Track 10-Bound-This song is about a girl trying to change a guy into what she wants him to be. The lyrics in this song are good. I see substance to this song.
Track 11-Devour- This song is about someone taking someone else's pain away or "Devouring" them. This song is the slowest one yet, but is still good.
Track 12-Darkness- This song is very slow. Very much different from their normal style, with an acoustic guitar, a piano, no drums, and string instruments in the background. This song is a rock ballad, kind of a depressing one that talks about darkness and being alone.
Overall I would give this album a 5 out of 5 star rating because there are really great songs on it. This album is one of the few albums that I own that I don't want to skip any of the songs on. I think it is a great rock album and would recommend it to anyone.





5 out of 5 stars Another Great Nu-Metal Album!!!   July 2, 2004
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Wow!!! This album just blows you away!!! Disturbed has used a lot less EXPLICIT LYRICS, with the only song needing edited for smaller children being Liberate. My favorite songs on this album are: Prayer, which starts the album off very nicely. Liberate, in which they edited motherf**ker with mothermother... I thought that was quite ingenious and funny the first time you listen to it. No weird noises or completely blank spots. Intoxication starts out nice and heavy, one to really crank up the volume to, and then calms down more as it proceeds into the chorus, a nice mixture of heavy and more calm metal. Rise is another great song on this album with great vocals from Draiman and nice guitar riffs.

On another note, I agree that System of a Down is quite mature, and anyone who thinks otherwise should go back to the Barney Soundtrack. Also, some people love this band so much they don't remember how to spell the people's names correctly... I thought that quite funny. David Drainman??? Is that some plumber??? Its David Draiman. Dan Donagan??? Just a hint, its Donegan.

OK, now that my picking on other reviewers is done, I would like to conclude just saying any fan of nu-metal should buy this album


5 out of 5 stars Awesome Clean Version   April 4, 2004
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

First off, Disturbed has definitely changed since previous albums. I also want to say that System of a Down is NOT AT ALL immature. Singing about your culture, suicide, and politics is not immature. OK, Chic-n-Stu is odd but still. I just wanted to clear that up. I know that this is a Disturbed CD review so I just wanna say that Disturbed has greatly matured. They now sing about more personal topics. If you want something good to listen to other than SOAD, listen to Disturbed.


5 out of 5 stars Rock On Disturbed!!   December 8, 2003
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Rock on, Disturbed! This is one of the best, if not the best cd I have. If I could I would give it 6 stars. This is an amazing album, and SO much better than The Sickness. On this cd the lyrics actually make sense all the time, and instead of editing out the explicit lyrics with silence, it replaces it with "mothermother" which is kinda cool. And plus, there is only one song that has to be edited! Disturbed's music is really awesome. It had me head-bangin and reading the lyrics like crazy. I have The Sickness, and Believe is way better than it. My personal favorite songs are Prayer, Liberate, Awaken, Intoxication, Rise, Breathe, and Bound. If you are even remotely considering buying this album, DO IT.
