The Process of Belief, Bad Religion's twelfth album, came out on Epitaph in January 2002, and it's a homecoming twice over. Brett Gurewitz, gone for seven years, rejoined in 2001 and co-produced with Greg Graffin, and the band was back on Epitaph for the first time in over eight years after its run on Atlantic ended. It was also the debut of drummer Brooks Wackerman, in for Bobby Schayer, alongside Jay Bentley on bass and Brian Baker and Greg Hetson on guitars.
Fans and critics heard a return to the faster, fiercer attack of the early records, those stacked three-part harmonies riding breakneck tempos. "Sorrow" became one of the band's signature songs and its first US chart entry in six years, and "The Defense", "Broken" and "Supersonic" all picked up radio play. It debuted at 49 on the Billboard 200.
