Editorial Reviews :
The multi-hyphenated (rap-metal-hip-hop-reggae) foursome P.O.D. enjoyed indie success as a popular Christian metal band before their 1999 major-label debut, The Fundamental Elements of Southtown, sold platinum, establishing P.O.D. as a secular sensation. Featuring the soaring single 'Alive,' the San Diego quartet's sophomore effort, Satellite, is even more a part of the nu-metal mainstream than its predecessor. Throughout, front man Sonny is more rapper than singer, especially on rhythmically forward, Rage Against the Machine-like songs such as 'Boom,' 'Masterpiece Conspiracy,' and the melodic yet mosh-worthy 'The Messenjah.' With positive, spiritual, and personal lyrics (several songs, including the title track, were influenced by the death of Sonny's mother), Satellite runs the gamut from lilting to intensely aggro, often within one song. In a nod to P.O.D.'s influences, special guests include Jamaican icon Eek-A-Mouse on 'Ridiculous' and Bad Brains legend HR on 'Without Jah, Nothin'.' This cool reggae, meshed with offbeat punk power, is placed alongside mellower midtempo rockers, including 'Ghetto,' to round out a varied and stellar album.
Buyer Reviews :
Payable on Death puts out another solid album and pretty much sticks with the formula that worked so well on Fundamentals.
Tracks 1,2 & 3 are hard and heavy with great lyrics and POD's trademark sound.
Track 4 slows a bit but is a great song which addresses school shootings and gives different perspectives from kids
Track 6 is the title track and picks up the pace. The boys show they've got some melody in this one.
Track 7 has a raggae feel to it and slows back down.
Track 8 is my personal favorite and might be the heaviest song on the album
Track 10 has a guest appearance by the lead singer of the Hardcore Band Blindside. This song is heavy but at a slower pace and involves more actual singing vice rapping.
Track 11 is a slow ballad-esque song unlike anything they did on their previous album, this same style can describe track 14
Track 12 picks it up again with a heavier sound
Track 13 is almost like two songs, the first half has punk-like riffs and a hardcore sound while the second half slows down and shows the raggae influence.
Track 15 ends the album with a bang with another heavy hitting song.
Tracks 5 and 9 are instrumental.
All in all the album is solid and definately worth the buy.
