4 out of 5 stars Better then satellite.......2005-06-15

Even though satellite may have been more of a success i still think that this new self titled album by p.o.d is their best effort yet. What makes this such a great album is that fact that it's just 12 good hard rock songs on one cd and the fact that it has more of a reggae influence doesnt seem to be a problem. Sattleite was just inconsistent and most ot the songs had a rap metal sound to them but this album delivers straight hard rock. The inclusion of a new guitarist also means that the guitar riffs are spiced up and sound better. On the whole this is a much better album then the previous one.

4 out of 5 stars Death, where is your sting?.......2005-01-24

This powerful album really stands out on account of the memorable songs like Will You, a brooding atmospheric number driven by screaming guitars, primal scream vocals and with catchy hooks aplenty. Tracks like I And Identity with its brilliant drum textures and Find My Way with its insistent bass take the listener even deeper into the land of metal.

Freedom Fighters with its tuneful chorus and Wildfire have a strong spiritual undertone. The latter has moments of prominent jungle drums and snatches of West Indian rhythm that make it stand out. It is quite awesome the way they celebrate the light by transcending the darker emotions, quite impressive.

A slower track, Asthma, is very beautiful with poetic lyrics sung with great intensity. The album concludes with the impressive Eternal, a more subdued but no less powerful number with a sense of restrained strength.

POD is an album of breathtaking instrumental and vocal variety, captivating tunes and lots of attitude. But what ultimately makes it special is the spirituality that infuses the music. If you like your rock heavy, passionate and metallic, you'll love Payable On Death. It's full of life!

5 out of 5 stars Very solid, great feel to the music.......2005-01-17

I'd never been much of a fan of P.O.D.'s music (unless you count TCM's remix of "Boom") until I heard the different sound they presented on /Payable on Death/. This album has a solid, powerful feel to it. As others have mentioned here, there is a Rasta/Jamaican element to most of the music on the disc, and I personally do not find it to be a drawback. In fact, I like the mild mixing of this trait with what might otherwise have been fairly traditional-sounding rock. It adds a nice bit of flavor to the overall feel of the album.

I like all the tracks on this CD, except for "Asthma." For some reason, that song just doesn't speak to me the way the others do. I have my favorites, of course (Execute the Sounds, Revolution, etc.), but the entire album is a joy to listen to. My only complaint would be with the song "Eternal." It is a very good song, and has an excellent sound to it. The only problem is, it just doesn't fit with the rest of the album. You've got 11 tracks of driving, booming music, and then suddenly you come to this lengthy accoustic song that just doesn't have anything in common with the others. Eternal is a great song, and at least they had the good sense to put it at the end of the album and not in the middle... But like I said, it is a bit disruptive, especially if you just pop the CD in and play the tracks in random order.

Ultimately, though, this is a fantastic album. P.O.D. has certainly made a convert out of me with this latest effort on their part, and I recommend it to anyone who likes good rock. If you didn't like P.O.D. before, definitely give them a try with /Payable on Death/ and see how far they've come.

5 out of 5 stars P.O.D. rocks!.......2004-03-18

Payable on Death rocks. It's an awesome album.My favorite song would have to be "Find My Way" and "The Reasons". P.O.D. rocks! I saw them along with Linkin Park,Story of the Year, and Hoobastank in concert. They rocked!!!Me and my boyfriend are huge, huge fans of them. The only reason he went to the concert was to see them and if they weren't there, he wouldn't have went.I went to see all of them. P.O.D deserves 5 stars.
P.S. Sonny is so sexy!!(don't ya'll agree?)
