Believe is Disturbed's second full album. Recorded in spring 2002 and released on September 17, 2002. It debuted at #1 on the Billboard charts selling 284,000 copies in its first week. There was also a limited edition release issued with a supplementary DVD and deluxe packaging. The album was recorded in six weeks.
This album has also been released as a DVD-Audio disc. It contains the album in MLP 5.1 channel surround (96kHz/24-bit) and MLP 2.0 (192kHz/24-bit) stereo sound. For backwards compatibility with non DVD-A players, it also contains 5.1 Dolby Digital and DTS. In addition the disc contains the video for "Prayer", behind-the-scenes excerpts from the Prayer video shoot, footage of the band recording Believe in the studio, and 15 minutes of highlights from Disturbed's home video DVD MOL
This album can also be interpreted as a concept album pertaining to religion and its effect on people. The album cover is a culmination of many religious symbols including Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. On the album are a Star of David, a pentacle, a crescent moon, and a Crucifix all superimposed on each other. Some people often confuse the pentacle for a pentagram. A pentagram is upside down.
