    Just pure badassery, I love this album! It's very crude and rough 00's metal and I love it all! It's definitely not their best album in fact it's one of their worst but it is only their worst because the others are so good in comparison

    This was absolutely awesome. It's all good, it's all heavy, and a lot of parents will absolutely hate it even though it's pretty clean mainstream music. Trust me. That's all you need to know. GET IT NOW

    This is easily one of the best albums I've ever heard, every song is memorable and full of emotion. I remember listening to it as a kid with my father, so perhaps at least some of it is sentimental. Regardless, It's an album that everyone should give a listen. The quality of the recording isn't the best I've ever heard, but that's not unheard of given the genre.

    well-structured and heavy
    sometimes it looks like a religious band, may looks like a ****
    Draiman is a very talentous singer

    This album was written in memory of David Draiman's (vocals) grandfather. The entire album contains very deep lyrics and is a little less heavy than Disturbed's other albums, but fantastic nonetheless. I personally recommend "Rise," "Prayer," and "Believe" as my favorite songs off of this album.

    "Believe" is aCD that gets better with each listen, so be careful not to misjudge it. When I first heard it, every track sounded the same. Now I am able to see the diversity in the album. My favorite tracks are "Prayer", "Believe", "Intoxication", and "Bound". There are no bad tracks. Great album that any hard rock fan will enjoy.

    Probably the most perfect mainstream metal album to come out in a looooong time. Though at times it is a bit monotonous as, quite frankly, there isn't a weak track on the album except for Liberate. It's difficult to sift through them sometimes because they're all awesome, but at the same time it's a really good listen.

    i think that this is a decent album. it gets a little boring, but the double bass drumming is great. i just wish that these guys had even more instrumental talent.

    I love disturbed and the album, i think this is a very stong followup to the sickness, it has more powerful guitar riffs and lyrics.

    this cd is so powerful, energiized, and just plain RAH! it lets your anger out when you sing with David. Davids voice has so much rage yet at times it so beautiful with that chello. this cd is just as good and even better then the sickness. i think its great live or on disk. it still blows my mind the way he makes those sounds. the rest of the band does a great job makeing the music this cd is so powerful, energiized, and just plain RAH! it lets your anger out when you sing with David.

    This is the best CD I have ever purchased it has not left my CD player since then. The songs are hypnotic and David Draiman's vocals are edgy and so full of rage that he speaks for an entire generation of angry teenagers and even adults. In these turbulent times their lyrics are more valuable and seem to be speaking the thoughts that we have at one time or another harbored.

    It absolutely rocks!!! I think it is much better than the last. Being the only "chick" to rate this, as far as I've seen, I'm sure I am not the only one. I find Dave's "way" quite seductive,and very,very,sexy. 'nuff said.

    Thought-Provoking, Disturbed show their versatility with the more contemplative approach. Anyone whos does not look beyond the superficial messages are intelectually challenged. Disturbed - paving the way for great things to come

    On disc or live, nothing tops Disturbed.

    It improves on the debut, slightly. [#10, p.114]

    Their shift towards a more traditional heavy metal aesthetic seems more a natural progression than an act of desperation. [Nov 2002, p.100]
  3. Billboard

    Frontman David Draiman shows that he is an ample singer, refraining from the quirky vocal squallings that graced Sickness for a more straight-ahead croon.
