    Our maggot handles the expectations. The album is GOOD. I really like and appreciate timbre of Justin voice. He manages catching songs, bangers and ballads. His voice is authentic, warm and calming;) I bode him a great future in music industry. For the haters bring the Justin Timberlake beginnings back and regroup your thoughts about Bieber. He has even bigger potential than JT. I hopeOur maggot handles the expectations. The album is GOOD. I really like and appreciate timbre of Justin voice.

    I have heard people praising this album and it is utterly pathetic not worth listening to and I also heard people saying he worked really hard on the album when he doesn't play any instruments means to me there isn't too much to it. Please avoid this album.

    THIS is the best album by a male artist ever. Even though "Journals" is close, though that doesn't count as an album.
    Highlights of "Believe" include "Right Here" feat. Drake, "Boyfriend", "Take You", "All Around the World" or "Die in your arms".
    PURPOSE IS COMING!

    I do not like the album Bieber "Believe" honestly. The album has a lot of sugary songs from that sick before losing momentum. There are 2 or 3 songs that you can listen to, but everything else - shock slag.

    Ok album. It's average, but much better than his previous work. He showed his maturity with this album. "Believe" isn't something special and it will be forever in 2012.

    A super basic disc. Only talking about sex and girls. And his attitude leaves a lot to be desired. DESPAIR

    A step in the right direction for the beebs. His new voice post puberty is a welcomed upgrade that welcomes a edge to his music to mstch his more mature image. Songs like "boyfriend "and "as long as you love me" stsy true to the essence of his previous ballads but are sexier in intention and more adult in aspiration. This shedding does Justin well at least for some points

    Don't understand why some people want to hate on this, I didn't like Bieber's earlier stuff but this album was when he started to improve the singing ability.

    Justin bieber 2nd best album, not only it's very nostalgic, it also deliver different vibes, like "die in your arms" gives me Christmas and chill vibes, "boyfriend" gives me these kinda of cool vibes , "beauty and a beat" gives me uplifting vibes, and bieber's vocals were on point and the album also has good features

    Believe is dedicated more to his fans, a move I appreciate from bieber. This album shows his growth from his previous album, and how his voice has matured. The album art is simple, but pops out, making it approachable. The album has 13 tracks, it's 48 minutes and 15 seconds long, aswell as 4 collabs. There are 40 co-writers, not counting features. Each song averages 4-6 co-writers. ThisBelieve is dedicated more to his fans, a move I appreciate from bieber. This album shows his growth from his previous album, and how his voice has matured.

Each song averages 4-6 co-writers. This album is mostly pop, however there are some edm vibes throughout. There are some fun upbeat songs, boyfriend, right here, take you, and beauty and a beat. Whilst some ballad like songs such as, fall, be alright, catching feelings and believe. The edm vibes come through all around the world, as long as you love me and beauty and a beat. These are all catchy tunes that had decent production and writing. All around the world has an edm feel, it means, well, everyone wants to be loved.
    Boyfriend is a teen pop hit, talking about how he has a crush on a girl, if he was her boyfriend he'd take care of her and never let her go. As long as you love me is another one of the edm vibe songs on the album, he talks about how his relationships are always out in the public, how his interest seems happy but isn't actually, how he'll love and take care of her no matter what society says.
    Catching feelings is a ballad type song, the meaning of it is, hes catching feelings for a girl hes been friends with. Take you is a fun pop song, hes concerned about a relationship and how he wants to make it better.
    Right here could either be about a relationship that broke between him and a girl or could be he got into a relationship with a girl who was already broken. The rest of the songs are similarly about love and relationships.

    I want to talk about believe, the song. This song is dedicated to his fans, not a lot of artists do that. He talks about how he wouldn't be where he is now without his fans. They believed in him, and look where he is now.

    Some albums simply have fillers, however I don't think there are any in this album. Justin released a few extra songs on the deluxe version, out of town girl, she don't like the lights, maria and fairytale. Which are all pretty good. She don't like the lights and out of town girl deserved to be on the regular album. This album is well produced, and well written. It's a solid album, I can go straight through without skipping. This is a superior album, I appreciate it a lot.    … Expand

    An incredible album, "only talk about sex and girls" really man? Have you ever heard "Believe", "Be Alright", "All Around the World" or "Turn To You". This sounds to me just a hater trying to hate. So haters gonna hate hate hate!!!

    Believe is most appealing when Bieber either emulates his mentor Usher-on dance-R&B tracks like "Boyfriend" (which remains one of 2012's best pop singles) or the slinky deluxe-edition track "Out Of Town Girl"-or plays to his basest, and best, pop instincts, like the aforementioned Jackson-aping "Die In Your Arms" or the Diplo-assisted head-rush "Thought Of You."
