And with each new tune it becomes more obvious why the bandmates are so excited: Believe is a major progression over Disturbed's 2000 debut, The Sickness. Draiman uses his attention-grabbing yelps and punctuating screams more sparingly, focusing instead on lush, full- throated singing. Sound engineer Jeremy Parker stressed that David is very much against the use of auto-tune, saying, 'Some people use auto-tune as sort of a crutch - we get a vocal take and we're like 'That's good. One classic example is a video on Youtube by Disturbed when they performed The Sound of Silence on the Conan Show. How much auto-tune used for a singer is a matter of discretion depending on the level of skill of the singer. Obviously in David Draiman's (lead singer of Disturbed) case the use of auto-tune was sparse as well as quite thin.
