 | | Gurewitz and Graffin ended up producing the album themselves, and Gurewitz calls it "by far the most fulfilling thing I’ve done in the last seven years." The opening "Supersonic" finds the band at their hardest and fastest, a vibe that persists for much of the disc. | | | Gurewitz originally quit the band so he could devote all his energies to Epitaph, which exploded in ’94 with the release of the multi-platinum Offspring album Smash. | | | The big news is that guitarist/songwriter Brett Gurewitz, who started Bad Religion in the early ’80s with singer Greg Graffin and bassist Jay Bentley, is back in the fold for the first time since ’94, when they released their best-known disc, Stranger Than Fiction (Atlantic). |

| | Gurewitz made a guest appearance on "Beleive It" on that album. | | | Gurewitz's return to the fold, as well as the band's return to the label it helped to found in the early '80s, may signal a return to old-style Bad Religion punk rock. | | | Founding guitarist Brett Gurewitz will be rejoining Bad Religion as a full-fledged member on its next alubm, which is set to be released on Gurewitz's Epitaph imprint. |

| | Error: Aversion.com Interview |
| | Gurewitz knows first hand how fickle punk fans could be: Bad Religion?s second album, 1983?s Into the Unknown (Epitaph), slowed down the punk tempos and added a mass of keyboards and organs. | | | Gurewitz?s freshly declared love for electronic music may be a surprise, but its timing makes perfect sense. | | | The potentially blasé reception by the punks who know Gurewitz best for his six-string dynamite on albums like Suffer (1988, Epitaph) and No Control (1989, Epitaph) probably suits Error?s life as a side project of a pair of rockers who are already incredibly busy in other avenues. |

| | Brett Gurewitz, co-founding member of the band is back, they've returned to Epitaph, the label that loves them best and that they have always called home and their latest album, "The process of belief" is, after a few years of forgettable releases, a fine return to form. | | | Brian Baker, who joined the band as Brett Gurewitz's replacement in 1994, agrees that the band is finally back on the right side of the road. | | | My favourite Bad Religion albums are the ones that Greg and Brett wrote together and there's a certain energy that's there when they're both writing. |

| | Following that album, Brett Gurewitz left the band to focus on running Epitaph Records and the band added Brian Baker, to take Gurewitz's place on guitar. | | | Brett's return has not only given us that Bad Religion sound that had been put in the back seat, but it is really these two guys working together and playing each other's music that has made everything better. | | | Two, Brett Gurewitz returned to the band and Bad Religion returned to Gurewitz's Epitaph Records. |

| | Gurewitz's departure meant that singer GREG GRAFFIN was now left to compose all the songs himself. | | | Mind you, Gurewitz's lyrics are still missed, but Graffin was always his equal, and appears prepared to grapple with the whole salami of fear and loathing, while hitting a string of intelligent targets with his warnings. | | | Perhaps the triumph of style over substance is the obvious theme suggested by the LP's name (a vaguely-daring suggestion that the title does not refer to this LP!). |
