Sonic Perspectives
It won’t win over a lot of new converts, but it will strengthen its base, and for those who wonder how they can still be going after all these years, “Even the Devil Believes” makes a bold statement that those who can go the distance and still stand strong deserve our respect and admiration—even if you think they are fools for their faith.

as much as STRYPER deserve applause for sticking to their guns, it's almost impossible to listen to "Even The Devil Believes" without wishing that Satan would arrive and liven things up a bit.

Stryper's 'Even the Devil Believes' is heavenly good.

Markus' Heavy Music Blog
Stryper in the 21st century is focussing more on music and less on image and all the frills. The lyrical concept might be liked by some and leads to eye-rolling by some others. However, what units both sides is the well-crafted oldschool Heavy Metal this album represents.

My Global Mind
All 4 members stepped up their game. They are now on a higher level than they’ve ever been, and I’m blown away. I’d compare my reaction to Even the Devil Believes to my reaction to Judas Priest the first time I heard Painkiller. Stunned, Shocked, maybe even a little intimidated but in a good way.

With its sharp songwriting and ’80s-style melodic metal anthems, “Even the Devil Believes” features the sound and style fans have come to know and love from Stryper. Combined with modern, slick production, the album is one that would fit in the ’80s, but still sounds modern and fresh in today’s world, offering something very a unique and entirely its own.

Stryper have done well in incredibly trying circumstances to come up with this concise and powerful release so overall, it’s an extremely worthwhile addition to their catalogue.

I’m a firm believer that a lot of the output from 80s bands hasn’t been as good as it was back in the day (thats nostalgia for you), but even the blind, and deaf can see/hear that Stryper are in the best period of their career. After listening to this, I get it. Even The Devil Believes.

Metal Archives
Mostly, the best songs reside in the second half, and the aforementioned standouts are the biggest reason to give this a listen. I’m just glad that there are standouts this time, and the majority of this is enjoyable. That’s really all I could ask for considering the previous disc. But make no mistake, the few bad ones are incredibly tough to get through.

Heavy Music HQ
Don’t let the age of Stryper or their message throw you off. What the band has put together here is a remarkably strong platter of ’80s-style metal anthems, well written, produced, and executed. Even The Devil Believes would be right at home in 1989, and even today is an invigorating, uplifting listen.

Stryper’s new sound is interesting to me. They’ve combined metal riffs with their signature melodic sound to create this new thing that works for me. There are a couple of curves thrown in that I like and are probably the highlights for me. If you are on board with their last three records, you’ll likely enjoy “Even The Devil Believes”. Overall, the Stryper trend continues and I’m on board.

Even the Devil Believes sees Stryper deliver another blazing set of hard rock anthems filled with fist-pumping riffs and life-affirming choruses aimed at the nosebleed section.

Stryper's signature sound and incredible musicianship is on full-display throughout this album with inspirational lyrics much needed in this day and age. Longtime fans will love their latest and new ones will be immediately pulled into the fold after the first track - it's that good.
