Editorial Review:
Amazon.com's Best of 2001:
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. --Katherine Turman

Having heard P.O.D.'s singles "Alive", "Boom", and "Youth of the Nation", and being a Christian believer myself, I had always wanted to buy this album and listen to it to really dig deeper into this band's message. I bought this album and was really looking forward to a great listening experience. This album made me lower my expectations of P.O.D. and its message.
I am not writing this review with the intent of bashing P.O.D., their fans, or this type of metal (for I am a fan of this ... Read More

P.O.D.- Satellite
P.O.D. is often regarded as "the christian band that is actually good." There are a lot of good christian bands out there, but P.O.D. is right there at the top. They do not constant ram lyrics about God down your throat like other bands. However, you will get good moralistic lyrics about life with the occasional reference to God in it.
The songs are generally rock. There is some reggae thrown in here and there. There is is a huge emphasis on the drums for this ... Read More

Satellite is a well-executed alternative metal wonder. It's loaded with loud, hard rock songs that can match anything on the radio today (Set It Off, Boom, Satellite, The Messenjah, etc.), and it also has quieter songs that are just as effective (Youth of the Nation, Thinking About Forever, Ghetto). P.O.D. are of course going to receive criticism for being Christian rock and not being "true" metal, but they make great music regardless. This truly is the sound of a hard-working band at their peak.

This was another band I wanted one song from, and fell in love with it's powerful message to our youth! They are all strong men of God, who have a heart for our kids!!! Not to mention some kicking sounds!

This cd really stands out as their best album. Great rap-rock with good lyrics is a very rare find, but this one has both. The rap and metal songs are better than their reggae songs, but it all blends together well when you listen to the whole cd.
