Product Description

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 their 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

Disturbed has always been my favorite band. i was not the kid that was into rock at first but hearing disturbed's insane guitar riffs and mind blowing lyrics made me a fan. i didn't think that "believe" was going to be as good as "the sickness" but upon buying it i was blown away. the first song "prayer" which had been leaked like in june of last year was easily became my favorite song. I saw Disturbed at halloweenie roast in october and nearly passed out from dehydration in the mosh pits. i was just stuck to dave draiman's killer voice. i would recommend<- (spelled that wrong) this album to anyone and everyone who is inot the nu-metal scene

I've owned this CD since the day it came out. I was expecting a follow-up to the highly acclaimed "Sickness." However, the CD is moving in a different direction. Yes, it does retain some of the hardness that Disturbed made known in the first album. But "BELIEVE" is seemingly taking a step down from it's well established fury and anger. Upon listening to Prayer for the first time, I was very pleased with the progress David Draiman has made in his vocal talent. He has an astoundingly recognizable, yet unique tone. Two songs to listen to are Intoxication and Darkness. The first song being fast-paced and hard hitting. It is here where you get that sense that Draiman has kept some of the power of the first album, "Sickness." When contrasted to Darkness, you see the profound difference that is made in Draiman's voice. It's all acoustic and smooth flowing. Here is where I believe it is possible to see the personal growth in his talents. If you were not impressed with "Sickness," consider looking into "BELIEVE." There are vast differences that will lead the song revolution. I hope Disturbed will keep up the outstanding work, but I am not worried they won't.

After owning and often listening to The Sickness, I knew that Disturbed was a good band to listen to if I was feeling upset or was just in need of something to get me pumped up. But upon hearing Prayer, I noticed more depth to the lyrics, which got my hopes up enough over the album that I bought it as soon as I saw it in stores. I wasn't diappointed. The lyrics have much more meaning this time around, they're no longer trying to just produce mindless, raging metal. Several people have complained about this, but these same people's complaints are riddled with spelling/grammatical errors and other obvious signs of their stupidity, and therefore their opinions are of little importance. Back to the album, I particularly liked the songs Liberate, Believe, Intoxication, and Mistress, although the whole thing is good. I especially love the condescending tone directed toward the narrow-minded in the track Liberate. And I think that the final track, Darkness, is a good way to wrap up the album. True, it's extremely soft, but it's interesting to hear Draiman use his voice thus; I hadn't expected him to be capable of such a tone.

What The Hell?
What Is This? When I bought this CD, I thought that there was perhaps another band, also called Disturbed, unfortunately no. This is a shame. Read more

Prove that not all Nu-metal is bad
I'm not a big fan of Nu-metal. Generally speaking these are immature bands with a whining singer screaming on top of his voice, forgettable guitar-work, no bass, simple beats, and... Read more

Finally...A new band worth knowing about
I have been wrestling with my musical desire for a band that actual has something to say...and a kick ass bass line to back it up. Then I find Disturbed.... Album one? Read more

Ah, yes. Disturbed...
First thing: I LOVE this band. Can't call it metal, but can't call it light, either. I'd definitely say it's alternative. Read more

Changed for the worse
I'm a big Disturbed fan and I have a lot of respect for David. The point is that this cd sucks. In the first cd, the sounds and guitar work gave Disturbed a dark, creepy edge. Read more
