  The Believer   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Winner of the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival, and one of the most acclaimed independent films of recent years, THE BELIEVER is a daring and courageous portrayal of a young Jewish man living an impossible contradiction as a neo-Nazi.
Ryan Gosling's explosive performance in THE BELIEVER has led many to describe him as a talented "newcomer," although in fact Gosling has been acting for over a decade.
In addition to his work as an actor, he is also an accomplished singer and songwriter and is in the process of recording his first album.

 CD Baby: BELIEVER: Sanity Obscure (Limited Edition Reissue) - from evor
After dropping their groundbreaking debut album on an unsuspecting world in '89, just two years later they unleashed a new level of aggressiveness and creativity that no one could have expected.
Believer is hard to pin down; they often sound like Megadeth, but their aggression and passion are focused in a much different direction than Dave Mustaine's.
Believer is one group that is the best of what the genre has to offer - the band that sets the standard - this is one of the best albums in metal.

 RTE.ie Entertainment - The Believer (IFC)
They see Danny as a new recruit ("we need intellectuals, we have enough thugs") but he considers their coffee table plans as too far removed from his reality and concocts plans to assassinate a famous banker and blow up a synagogue.
While 'The Believer' will draw references to both 'Romper Stomper' and 'American History X', it is far weightier, with Gosling's character more charismatic and ugly than either Russell Crowe or Edward Norton's in those films.
'The Believer' is an uncomfortable experience, but one as brave and challenging as you could possibly expect these days from American cinema.

Rhett Miller - The Believer - Verve Forecast
The Believer ups the ante on the perceptive, addictively tuneful songs and ardent vocals which have won Rhett Miller acclaim as a solo artist and as frontman for the hard-charging rock ’n’ roll quartet the Old 97’s (of which he is still a member).
The Believer, Miller’s second solo album, demonstrates the Texas-bred artist’s knack for using accessible songcraft to address complex emotional issues.

 Rogma International - Great Doctrines of the Bible - Lesson 14 - Special English Version
Ephesians 4:24 –The believer must put on THE NEW MAN. The new man is right with God and he is holy.
As the believer sees himself in two ways, he must realize that God is present in his life.
When the believer realizes that the blood of Christ cleanses him from sin and causes him to be able to stand before God.

 2/13/02: CD Reviews Ghost World The Believer and Shrek   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The album opens with a small string section, bursting short rhythmic phrases over a mix of whispered voices, spoken words and sparse, deep percussion.
The most poignant work on the album is the subtle string arrangement of "Kol Nidre," a liturgical prayer recited at the start of the service on the eve of Yom Kippur.
In almost every way, this album is one of those score-lover's dreams come true and allows us to further appreciate the work of an underrated composer-duo.

 The Believer by Joel Diamond @ Cinemusic
THE BELIEVER (which airs on Showtime on September 30th) stars Ryan Gosling - formerly television's Young Hercules - as Danny, a student booted from Hebrew school and who's self-loathing and hatred manifests itself in his own anti-Semitic behavior and ultimately drives him to become a neo-Nazi skinhead.
The film won a Grand Jury prize at the 2001 Sundance film festival, and some of the praise for the film spilled over to Joel Diamond's score, which is as schizophrenic as the inside of Danny's head.
THE BELIEVER exhibits a great deal of experimentation, and the "kitchen sink" approach may appeal to some.

 Various Artists: The Believer 2005 Music Issue CD: Pitchfork Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The Believer planted its flag on the lit-crit scene with an essay by editor-in-chief Heidi Julavits declaring an end to "snark," the practice of being a big mean bully hiding behind a byline and an artsy NYTBR illustration.
On the other hand, the stable of musicians selected for inclusion-- and the material they, in turn, decide to remake-- encapsulates the dullness of this strain of indie, a drab made exponentially stronger by the enforced cross-pollination.
While the concept is noble, the editors would be advised to go with a less one-dimensional roster for next year's issue, to stretch out beyond the tight boundaries of acoustic-folk, freak-folk, and indie pop.

 A Review of The Phantom Tollbooth
The album's opener, "Restoration" describes the problems of the world and it's affects on the believer.
If these songs serve as a testimony of the content of the album, the other songs deliver the verdict that not only does Ed not have anything new to say, he doesn't even try to say the old things in a new way.
The songs are SO filled with sing-along choruses, ultra hip(but ultra tired) drum loops, driving acoustic guitars and production tricks that would make this album stand up there with anything on the Adult Contemporary charts; so much so that it would be hard to pick it out of a line-up, and that's the rub.

 The Austin Chronicle: Shibboleth
Miller’s third solo album, The Believer, due in February on Verve, hasn’t slowed the activity of the Old 97’s, who, hot on the heels of double live disc Alive & Wired, close out 2005 with a few Texas dates.
The Believer is a more expansive collection than Miller fans may be used to and marks growth for him as a performer.
One of album’s highlights is a reworking of the recent Old 97’s hit, “Question.” Longtime fans have little reason to fear solo Miller taking the place of quartet Rhett.

 felixsalmon.com: The Believer
Because The Believer is a radically different kind of review, and not because most of its articles have a lot of first-person stuff in them, and not because of the witty drawings and the jokey NYRB-style insertions ("Query: For several years I have been working on a song involving both muskrats and love.
And while The Believer has one excellent piece (Paul LaFarge on Nicholson Baker, giving the master close reader a masterful close reading of his own, bringing in everything from Pale Fire to September 11), a huge chunk of the magazine's 128 pages are taken up with that most wasteful and unenlightening prose format, the QandA.
Most egregiously, The Believer seems to have decided (according to this article) that there will be an interview with a philosopher in every issue of the magazine, and that this interview will be in QandA format.

 Chic : Believer - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards hoped that Chic could, which is why 1983's Believer finds the group updating its sound with generally appealing, if uneven, results.
And even though Believer falls short of being a gem, you have to admire Chic's ability to update its approach while continuing to sound incredibly distinctive.
But the LP didn't contain any hit singles, and Believer would be Chic's last album for Atlantic.

In between the sessions, he cut his third album to be released under his name alone, Soultrane, issued in September by Prestige.
The performance inspired a review in Down Beat, the leading jazz magazine, that was an early indication of the differing opinions on Coltrane that would be expressed throughout the rest of his career and long after his death.
Coltrane 's next Prestige session as a leader occurred later in July 1958 and resulted in tracks later released on the albums Standard Coltrane (1962), Stardust (1963), and Bahia (1965).

The one thing about The Believer everyone seems to agree on is the effectiveness of composer Joel Diamond's score in the context of the film.
Whatever you want to call it, on the album it all ends up being too disjointed to sustain any kind of normal listening experience.
The rest of the album plays out just as schizophrenically as the troubled main character of the film.

Omasan is based at House On the Rock in Wembley but recorded this album with producer David Mukalazi in London, mixing and mastering it in Kampala, Uganda.
Omasan has a good voice and the album is packed with songs that are designed to inspire the believer by reminding them who they are and who God is. Songs like the upbeat "Without Faith" and "I Will Sing Praise" standout because they are upbeat and celebratory.
The majority of this album is at a slower pace and while it's fine, a little more variety might have worked.

 CCM Magazine   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
But I ten to think that, rather than being a slavish imitator of the Fab Four, what Phil has become masterful at achieving is making disparate musical elements gel in the context of an album in the same way The Beatles did.
Although Crimson & Blue (heralded as a return to Keaggy's rock roots) deviated slightly from this formula, most of Phil's albums have contained a little something for everyone--and True Believer is no exception.
Much of this probably due to the fact that producer Alan Shacklock wrote or co-wrote four of the 10 songs; in addition, he adds all manner of keyboard and synth exotica, drum programming, orchestra bells, percussion and background vocals.

 Rolling Stone : The Believer : Review
To see The Believer now you'll have to subscribe to Showtime, the pay-cable channel that premieres the film on September 30th.
Though The Believer is loosely based on the story of Daniel Burros, a Ku Klux Klan leader who killed himself when a New York Times reporter revealed he was a Jew, Bean refuses to shape his film as a case history.
For that reason, the scenes with Carla, her mother and Danny's invalid father (Ronald Guttman) are thin to the point of threadbare.

 Rhett Miller / Eef Barzelay | The A.V. Club
That robs some songs of their immediacy, but his fillips make slighter tracks like "I Believe She's Lying" and "Meteor Shower" sound fuller, and his layers of sound can't muffle the timeless hooks and seamless wordplay of "Help Me, Suzanne," "Fireflies," and the steady-building title track.
Miller's alt-country contemporary Eef Barzelay takes his own step away from the rock-band format on the solo album Bitter Honey, a set of acoustic songs that don't sound markedly different from his work with Clem Snide, except that they seem to be missing something.
The songs themselves are fine, bordering on terrific—especially the creepily sensual "Thanksgiving Waves," the friend-skewering "Well," and the brisk love poem "Little Red Dot"—but it isn't hard to imagine how much better they'd be had Barzelay called in his bandmates to flesh them out.
