Bad Religion - The Process Of Belief

The Process Of Belief (20th Anniversary Edition on orange and "Black Galaxy" colored vinyl)

Limited Edition 20th Anniversary orange and black colored vinyl LP pressing. The Process of Belief is the 12th studio album by Bad Religion. It was produced by it's leaders Greg Graffin and Brett Gurewitz, and was originally released in 2002.

"Based on only one or two listens to The Process of Belief, one would be tempted to retitle it The Process of Backsliding. It's like a batch of outtakes from their 1988 comeback LP, Suffer, or the amazing juggernauts that followed, No Control and Against the Grain. But successive immersions into the new LP's brute, lashing power and wild honey melodies disarms such critical impulses as efficiently as a martial arts master. Regression rarely feels this fresh or this welcome. For anyone who forgot how much had been absent without Brett Gurewitz, The Process of Belief radiates his singular seasoning in technicolor. First, with him back in the fold, Greg Graffin need only compose seven ace songs instead of 14 like the previous three LPs. A higher quality control results, as well as the rediscovered compliment of Gurewitz's searing tunes with Graffin's pop hooks. One also notes the lustrous sound of Gurewitz's backing vocals, once again meshed with Graffin's in the kind of familiar near-perfection that has signaled the best harmony teams: a sound so pleasing and comfortable it drives the chorus melodies and the 'ooohs and ahhhs' much deeper, like a stake into the heart." — 3 Stars, AllMusic
