The Process Of Belief
by Bythos Lewis
synthesis.net, August 2002
Those fans who thought New America strayed too far into pop provinces will take heart at Process Of Belief’s more classic sound. Mainlining profundity was never so enjoyable, as a band energized by the return of original guitarist Brett Gurewitz rips through 14 sizzling, informative songs. "Guide me now, for I can't see a reason for the suffering and this long misery," emotes a characteristically perturbed Greg Graffin in "Sorrow," envisioning a world without pain. This rock anthem gratifies both aging boomers’ taste for lush melody, and underage anarchists’ taste for furious, snare-driven dissent. An aural bridge, as it were, spanning the gulf between generations. Indeed this sums up the entire CD. If world peace comes with a soundtrack, Process Of Belief will be included.
