'The Process of Belief' is the twelfth studio album released by the American punk rock band that is Bad Religion. The album was released in 2002 and saw the band return to the Epitaph record label for the first time in nine years. Four albums were released during the bands time away from the Epitaph label (all of which were released through major label Atlantic), 'The Process of Belief' was the first Bad Religion album released on Epitaph since the release of 'Recipe for Hate' in 1993. The album consists of fourteen tracks and provides for 37 minutes of listening enjoyment.

'Supersonic' provides this 'The Process of Belief' album with an absolutely excellent opening anthem, it's an incredibly well put across piece of music and an exquisitely fine way to begin this album release. Never does the music disappoint here, throughout the entire progression of the album the music is always greatly impressive and never does the sound created here fail to impress. This is an excellent punk rock album, not the most hard hitting that the band has ever released but given that this was the bands twelfth studio album it's only natural that some of the sting was taken out of the bands tail by this late stage in the game.

'Sorrow' is the most powerful piece of music from this album I feel, it's placed at the albums centre and every time I hear this track I can't help but smile. The music is moving, the chorus is incredible, and always the sound created here is incredibly well put across by the band. It's quite a melodic offering consisting of a fantastic rhythm also; the track is a beautiful creation of music and all six members of the band do incredibly well here in putting the fine sound of 'Sorrow' across.

'Broken' is another incredible track from this album, far more instrumentally hard hitting than 'Sorrow' and once more the vocal approach taken here is hugely effective. 'Broken' is a definite favourite of mine from this album, it took me a while to really appreciate much of this album but 'Broken' was one of the few tracks that I loved right from the very first time that I heard it. 'Broken' and 'Sorrow' are equally excellent in their approach, these two tracks do I feel progress the strongest of all those present on this 'The Process of Belief' album.

'Destined For Nothing' and closing track 'Bored And Extremely Dangerous' are two further favourites of mine from this album; both are exquisite offerings of punk rock and with each of these tracks the music of Bad Religion really is very well put across by the band. The choruses really hit hard as you listen to the music, these truly are two incredibly fine offerings of punk rock and this whole 'The Process of Belief' does in fact have much to offer at all times. Never is there a dull moment here, always Bad Religion shows itself to be exceptional as a band and at all stages of this albums progression the music is instrumentally and vocally also incredibly well put across.

This is not the ultimate in Bad Religion listening experiences, it is however still a strong album from the band and after 22 years together as a band and having released twelve studio albums in this time; Bad Religion showed here that the fine tunes are still flowing and the punk rock spirit of the band still very much lives on and stands strong. This was the second Bad Religion album of the new millennium, a fine return to the Epitaph record label for the band and with an album that I personally would highly recommend listening to.
