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

Rating: - The 2nd Album from Disturbed
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!!!!!!
Rating: - Believe
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 ... Read More
Rating: - Another Great Nu-Metal Album!!!
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 ... Read More
Rating: - Awesome Clean Version
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.
Rating: - Rock On Disturbed!!
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, ... Read More
