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

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.

this has to be one of the worst cds i have bought in my life. most of the songs are awful or are b side material. Most of the songs have nothing going for them. very strung out material that goes nowhere. The thing that really is frustrating is how the album is so inconsistent. It doesn't feel like these songs should be on the same album. The radio hits are the only good things going for this sorry disc. I learned my lesson never buy cd based off of radio play alone. the music is not catchy, engaging ... Read More

I have not listened to P.O.D. that much in the past. I like Christian music, and a lot of secular music as well. This is in between. The songs aren't always necessarily Christian in the sense of saying Jesus and God alot. It is more positively charged music that appeals to more than just Christians. It is, most basicly, an attempt at influencing a generation that is not exactly thought of as the most caring or polite generation ever. (For me, at least, it seems to be working.) Anyway, I was used to music ... Read More
