"Liberate" comes off Believe, Disturbed's second album from 2002, and it was the third and final single the band pulled from that record. Johnny K produced it with the band, Andy Wallace mixed it, and Reprise sent it out.
This is nu metal with the fat trimmed off: Dan Donegan's guitar chugs and lurches, Fuzz and Mike Wengren lock the low end into one clenched fist, and David Draiman barks the title like an order from the pulpit. It reached number 4 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart and 22 on Modern Rock Tracks, and it grazed the Bubbling Under Hot 100 at 21.
