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]
