    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

    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.

    Pergunta rápida: é melhor levar um tiro ou ouvir o no álbum do Justin Bieber? Se você acredita que a dor de um tiro é mais suportável que a dor causada no ouvidos por escutar o péssimo Believe, acertou.

Se você acredita que a dor de um tiro é mais suportável que a dor causada no ouvidos por escutar o péssimo Believe, acertou.

    Devo admitir que fui com o coração aberto e a minha opinião sem amarras com pré-conceitos para avaliar melhor o trabalho que é visto como o divisor de "ídolo adolescente" para "adulto". Só queria saber em qual mundo o trabalho realizado em Believe é divisor de alguma coisa. Só se for de "cantor teen com algumas canções até boazinhas" para "cantor teen que acha que está evoluindo que só canções ruins". Se antes o pop teen conseguia casar bem com a personalidade de Bieber agora a coisa caminha para um caminho estranho e precário. Na maioria do álbum, as batidas seguem de dance, pop, eletropop e com alguma coisa de R&B que parecem a resta do almoço de ontem. Não há uma grama de criatividade ou mesmo de vergonha na cara de copiar qualquer um que faça sucesso com o estilo. A falta de personalidade que o caminhão de produtores dão ao trabalho é de impressionar. Se não fosse pela voz de Justin, as canções poderiam ser de qualquer um. E por falar em voz: Justin está crescendo a olhos vistos. Isso é fato, mas a falta de habilidade para achar seu tom certo é grave. Ele não sabe se procura um toma mais grave (onde ele se sai melhor) ou aposta nos falsetos (onde ele é péssimo, ainda mais quando tenta subir mais o tom). Uma regra para esse tipo de trabalho é a parte da composição que normalmente se torna mais madura, mas aqui parece que retrocedeu. Se antes era feita para meninas de 13 anos com treze neurônios, agora a faixa etária caiu para 11 com apenas o Tico e Teco. É sério: poucas vezes vi juntas composições tão rasas, clichês e bobas. Entre todas as canções de nível precário onde ele não decide se quer ser o Usher, o Enrique Inglesias ou a Britney Spears (All Around the World é a copia de Till the World Ends), existe algumas coisas boas para serem faladas. A melhor canção de Believe (disparadamente) é a baladinha Catching Feelings acompanhado com uma boa base indo numa direção mais R&B. Num álbum onde a mais audaciosa musicalmente é Boyfriend, não podemos esperar muita coisa, né? Outro momento "interessante" é seu desabafo contra a menina que falou que ele era o pai do seu filho em Maria já que a tentativa dele soar com o Rei do Pop em Billie Jean conseguindo o momento mais "profundo". Há outros momentos não tão péssimos em Be Alright e Believe, tocas seguindo algo mais intimista. Do resto, nem vale comentar. Eu até acreditei que ele poderia evoluir, mas foram apenas falsas promessas.    … Expand

    Bieber's second album does not disappoint. He showed immense growth with this album. The songs are very mature and the quality is very good aswell. This album is going to convert so many haters into fans, or even beliebers. It's a pop album with heavy influences of R&B and Hip-Hop. Best songs would be "Die In Your Arms", "Maria" & "Right Here".

    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

    No hay gran evolución que se pueda exaltar del album, todavía es un músico con una gran trayectoria por recorrer que no ha salido del lado comercial para entrar al artístico, quizás cuando entienda la importancia de la música en el ámbito artistico y comercial, genere un buen sonido por si solo. En si no es un mal album, pero tampoco es bueno, simplemente esta en el medio.

    Believe tem um sentimento de montanha russa, na maior parte do tempo você não está gostando daquilo, as subidas são demoradas e a melhor parte: a descida, só dura alguns segundos. Assim é o quarto álbum de Bieber, uma experiência sem graça, entediante e pouco divertida.

    I listened to this album with no preconception, but even the title doesn't sync with the songs, "Believe" is a name for more acoustic and relaxing albums, and this one it's fulled with electronic beats musics, i didn't get it, and he doesn't worked on the album, sorry, but, there's no work.

    Justin Bieber may be the most succeeded pop artist in the world, however music is not just about having a pretty face and a little bit of style. I admit that this album is better that My World and My World 2.0 ,and Justin is more mature in this newest work. But that is not enough to be a good artist. Justin has the support of his crazy female fans but his songs continue to be uninteresting.

Despite its cheesy, almost senseless lines (as said above), second single "As Long as You Love Me" spotlights the maturity of Bieber's vocals whilst backing that up with irresistably catchy dubstep-influenced R&B beats, however, Big Sean's verse is the cheesiest line on the album ("Trust/Us/Things I can't spell without 'u'"). In fact, Bieber out-performs every guest vocalist on the album; even Nicki Minaj, who despite using Bieber's girlfriend as a reference, refuses to step up her game. The album will make Beliebers fall in love even harder, while hopefully helping haters turn their eyes to a new celebrity target, such as One Direction.… Expand

    Ok, I'm 17 years old and I've nothing against teenager making music, but this is almost unlistenable! There's too much autotune and he doesn't even use his falsetto well. There are a lot of boys and girls of his age that make better music, but they're less famous: go listening to Hayley Westenra's old CDs and you'll know what I mean!

    The epitome of processed pop music, Justin Bieber's "Believe" is an odd collection of "songs." Seven people "collaborating" on songs that have lyrics a 10-year-old could write that have absolutely no substance, and stale synthpop beats galore. If you want all of that and more, buy "Believe." You'll hate it.

    Soooo
    I'll say one thing straight away: Believe is gonna sell soooo friggin' much!
    I'll start with the positive things: Justin really did evolve since the last album, his songs are more mature, he is singing about his experiences and what he went through in the past years for example in Maria he's referring to that girl that said he was the father of her son, also there are a lot of    Soooo
    I'll say one thing straight away: Believe is gonna sell soooo friggin' much!
    I'll start with the positive things:
    Justin really did evolve since the last album, his songs are more mature, he is singing about his experiences and what he went through in the past years
    for example in Maria he's referring to that girl that said he was the father of her son,
    also there are a lot of songs where he speaks about selena gomez
    BUT
    lyrically speaking he is still doing the same thing as before:
    "gril I love you I wanna be your boyfriend blablabla"
    which is a good tactic because a lot of 13 year olds will still buy his album.
    I think that there are too many love songs in this album
    but justin bieber is not the only one that did this. Take Adele for example. she made a whole album about her being dumped by her boyfriend and how much depressed she was and blablabla....
    It's well produced, he's got the talent. but his lyrics are still stopping him (well actually, they are perfectly thought for teenagers so they are gonna take the album pretty far, but I mean artistically speaking they don't add up nothing original)
    Now let's start with the bad parts
    THE MUSICAL STYLE
    3/4 of the songs on this album are Timberlake copycats
    that doesn't mean they are not good, I actually like Timberlake a lot and I liked the songs, but I think JB's next step should be finding his own unique style.
    He's pointed a lot towards electronic in this last album which I think it's AWSOME because electronic music is the future, and he can explore more this genre and maybe give this genre a new direction like David Guetta did.
    I don't like the fact that people compare him to Michael jackson or Elvis presley because these two artist invented a new genre and JB hasn't done that yet. Unless you consider "swaggie" a genre.
    THE THING THAT MAKES ME HATE THIS ALBUM THE MOST
    there are too many songs that have been literally copied!!
    Fall----> "Beautiful Soul" Jesse Mccartney
    One love-----> "Forever" Chris Brown
    Out of town girl-----> "cry me a river" Justin Timberlake
    "Maria"------> "Billie Jean" Michael Jackson
    And that's a fact! if you don't believe me go listen to them yourself
    That is a fail to my eyes, even though I like these songs a lot.

    Best 4 tracks of the album:
    1. Out of town girl
    2. Boyfriend
    3. all around the world
    4. she don't like the lights

    Oh yes, and Die In your arms would be a perfect christmas song

    In fact the album is OK. There are some fresh enjoyable energetic songs like "Die in your arms" "Beauty and a beat""All around the world".But it is true that Bieber's "swag swag swag" sounds stupid and his vocal performance doesn't sound like a singer's voice.And some awful songs like "Maria""She don't like the lights""Take you" shouldn't appear on the album.

    Is this a joke? This album is average in everyway(but look at him in the front cover... he is so cute), and he didnt even wrote this album. This is just another mainstream, manufactured album(and JB himself) to roll in big bucks from adolescent girls

    Even though I wouldn't take it to the list of best albums ever, it's still a pretty good album. It's difficult to write a review of the album overall, because it's like two albums in one CD. Here goes a track by track review:

    1. All Around the World (feat. Ludacris) - 10/10 - Party music used to be his weak point, but this is a pretty good track. If he keeps that up, he will sure please people with his music.

    2. Boyfriend - 7/10 - Nice track, but he could have done it without the rap and the lyrics disappointed me.

    3. As Long As You Love Me (feat. Big Sean) - 8/10 - The chorus is the best part. His vocal performance at the verses may disappoint a little, but it's not the worst thing in the world.

    4. Catching Feelings - 7/10 - The instrumental track is good, but its lyrical content makes it worth a mixed review.

    5. Take You - 8/10 - The complete opposite from 'As Long As You Love Me', the verses are good, but the chorus disappointed a little.

    6. Right Here (feat. Drake) - 10/10 - Quite enjoyable track, specially because of Drake. 7. Fall - 3/10 - Its lyrical content is like that of any average song, and its instrumental track, specially in the chorus, is very annoying.

    8. Die In Your Arms - 10/10 - One of the best tracks in the album. The lyrics may be somehow shocking for it being a Justin Bieber song, but I don't think it has anything your kid hasn't seen before.

    9. Thought of You - 9/10 - Pretty enjoyable track, specially the chorus. I can't give it a 10 because I don't think the verses are good enough. They are good, but not good enough for me to give it a 10.

    10. Beauty and a Beat (feat. Nicki Minaj) - 10/10 - It's one of that tracks that get stuck in your head. It has a beat anyone can enjoy, specially if you like parties.

    11. One Love - 9/10 - Good track, even though the robotic sound in one part of the chorus is a little bit annoying.

    12. Be Alright - 10/10 - If you like ballads, then that's a perfect track.

    13. Believe - 9/10 - Nice melody, but its lyrical content makes it worth a 9.

    Deluxe edition tracks:

    14. Out of Town Girl - 1/10 - Its lyrical content is just so silly and its beat so annoying. Worst track in the album. Who actually cares if she's an out of town girl, Justin?

    15. She Don't Like the Lights - 8/10 - Love in the lights is just the typical day of a celebrity's life, so I think no one would identify with this song. But anyway, it has a nice beat, just that the lyrics are not very inspirational.

    16. Maria - 7/10 - If you know the whole story of Mariah Yeuter, then you can perfectly understand the lyrics. It was a pretty creative idea, but honestly, this song didn't surprise me, specially its beat.    … Expand

    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".

    Better than his first two attempts but still falls flat. He has a good voice but that is the only good thing i can find in this album.

The melodies and chords are all very simple but is expected in pop nowadays, this isn't necessarily a bad thing it makes for an easy, light listen but when the lyrics are this bland and all the songs don't differ it won't hold your full attention for the whole album. This is just the record companies way of keeping all his younger fans while also trying to reach older girls, which i won't condemn them for but it just shows that this album is not for me or any guy or any girl over the age of 19 should i say. I'm not saying listening to it is annoying or torture but besides the fact that it's not awful i can't find a reason to give this a positive review.… Expand

They remain in Bieber's main style of romanticism or introspection. They are not melancholy, so if drama and angst are your style, then this is not your album. Bieber pours joy and sincerity into his songs the way most of us just breathe.
    I am going to use the dreaded word and say that, yes, it is a more "mature" Bieber. This is evidenced not only in his voice, but the still-increasing strength of his vocals and their flexibility, and the sheer amount of musical styles. I could care less about the featured stars as I feel they are non-essential to his songs. He has sung most the feature songs acoustically, by himself, in concert, and they sounded just as good or better than the recorded versions.
    I thought I would have favorites as I listened to the album but I don't. It's the mark of a great artist when they create an album that you can listen to non-stop without becoming obsessed with only a couple of songs and instead you obsess over every single one. Almost every single song could easily become a radio chart-topper if only they didn't dislike him with an unnatural intensity. He has more to offer than most of today's modern-day drivel.

    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."
