Untitled

Believe is the second studio album by the American alternative metal band Disturbed. It was released on September 17, 2002. It debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart,[5] making it Disturbed's first number one debut, shipping over 284,000 copies in its first week. It was certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America in the United States on September 23, 2008. The album cover features symbols of major religions, including the Christian cross, the Jewish Star of David, and the Islamic crescent, with the pentagram.

Reception

Believe currently holds a score of 62% on review-aggregating website Metacritic, indicating "generally favorable reviews", based on nine reviews. Allmusic reviewer Bradley Torreano praised the album, declaring that on Believe, Disturbed takes the kind of leap that their heroes in Soundgarden and Pantera had after their respective albums of progress. He also states that "it is not a function of the agitation of the tempo and percussion-based riffing of the past, guitarist Dan Donegan has made great strides in expanding its sound to include more varied guitar work all around." The website Culturedose.net states the album is "One of the best rock albums of 2002."[6] It is also interesting to note that every track on this album is just one word in length.
