Satellite by P.O.D.

Pros: P.O.D. rocks hard and proves that they have melody and soul.
Cons: A couple weak tracks that are just loud for loudness's sake.

Before I start this review, I should probably clear up a few things about P.O.D.:

1) Yes, they are a Christian band. You can draw up any argument you want about the people they’ve toured with and the places they’ve been ever...

Pros: Some good beats and some nice lyrics.
Cons: Some not so good beats and terrible lyrics.

P.O.D. technically first appeared on the map in the early 1990’s. The band was formed in 1992 when Marcos and Wuv wanted to show off their guitar and drum skills through the form of rock music. That same year, Marcos’s cousin Sonny decided ...

Pros: 15 words can not sum up Satellite's beauty.
Cons: It ends.

July 4th, 2002. The weather was more or less Texas-typical: hot, sunny (SONNY! okay, not funny - moving on), you get the point. I remember the day so vividly. I went to K-mart with my mom, and being the broke 15 year old that I was at the time ...

Pros: Heavy, eclectic, positive rock
Cons: "Messenjah?" Just because you spell it right doesn't mean you have to pronounce it perfectly.

It took me a while to finally check out P.O.D.’s full album Satellite. I loved Alive and Youth of the Nation from the get-go, but I still never made the effort to hear the rest until my friend played a few more tracks for me. Once...

Pros: powerful and uplifting to an extent
Cons: some songs just sound awful musically or lyrically (Boom, Ridiculous etc)

Emerging as part of the large pack of rap/rock bands that broke through in 1999-2000, P.O.D. was a different breed. While they played down their obvious Christian lyrics in interviews, the fact that this band was positive in a genre that didn't...

Pros: Great energy, some actual talent being used while playing instruments...
Cons: last five songs bring the album down, especially Without Jah, Nothin'.

“Every day is a new day, I thank God for every breath I take. I won’t take it for granted.” Those are the words that begin P.O.D.’s famous song Alive, probably the San Diego boys biggest hit. It of course hails from the ...

Pros: Excellent music, band, lyrics, production, everything!
Cons: Hey, look over there...

What do you get when you cross a recently converted Christian rapper, a recently converted Christian rapper's reggae-loving cousin, a recently converted Christian rapper's reggae-loving cousin's friend, and a recently converted Christian rapper's ...

Pros: It awakens feelings in you that you didn't know you had.
Cons: It seems to end to soon. A couple disappointing tracks.

Ever since I started listening to music I had always known about P.O.D. They were (To some degree) like Michael W. Smith of christian pop. If you listened to that kind of music you knew who he was. Okay so I grew up knowing about P.O.D. but I never ...

Pros: Quite a few solid rap-rock songs. Super-hooky.
Cons: Several songs have weak lyrics. And let's not even mention track 13...

Personally, when a Christian band gets into the mainstream (or even gets good reviews from any site, including Epinions), I am usually pretty happy (unless it’s Jump 5, but let’s not go there). Switchfoot’s breakout with ...

Pros: Satellite, Boom, Alive, The Messenjah, Youth of the Nation.
Cons: Can you call the rest of it "music?"

I, along with half of the consuming public, went through quite the phase in musical trends around the late 90s and early 00s. My fixation with the genre of nu-metal music had grown to such an extent that there was very little room for anything else in my ...

Pros: positive music; great lyrics
Cons: don’t get nearly enough credit in the Christian community

In case you didn’t know before, P.O.D. means Payable On Death, something that comes from their Christian faith. The name of the band isn’t the only thing that talks about God. While every song on the album may not use the name God or Jesus, all contain...

Pros: Great sound, highly anticipated album. They are a Christian band.
Cons: Some songs sound like there last album

P.O.D.'s latest album "Satellite" was probably one of the most anticipated albums of the year. I think, P.O.D. is an awesome example of how a Christian band, can make it into the mainstream, which I think is really cool. Their songs are so...

Pros: Up-lifting, Deep, Driven Heavy Metal That Has Both An Edge And Optimism.
Cons: Featured Vocalists.

NOTE: I am not a Christian and I don't like Christian Music in general, but I don't really have a problem the faith itself as long as it isn't taken to extremes......Keep This In Mind. You might know from previous reviews on Epinions that I am a ...

Pros: A very different, emotional album
Cons: Their style has changed too much

P.O.D. is, debateably, my all-time favorite band. I first heard them on a Christian TV station with their hit single at the time "Selah" (off of "Brown"). Intrigued by their blend of deep, heart-felt emotion and the unmistakable heavy rock that my soul...

Pros: Fantastic messages, A lot of good songs, Pretty good all around
Cons: Almost every song ending is horrible and drawn out.

I’ve never really listened to P.O.D, so my view will be straight up. I don’t feel like I have an obligation as a fan to like their new CD, so my opinions are that of a music lover. A deep hatred for the band will never affect my rating on an...
