Album Description

Pretty good

This is probably P.O.D.'s least diverse release in quite a few years (I haven't heard all of any albums before TFEOS), but it's also the starting place for a replacement guitarist. The songs don't sounds very different from each other, but some of them are pretty solid. Will You is a good one, and Find My Way is a personal favorite. Sometimes the simpler songs are the best on this album. My favorite aspect of this album is the vibes it creates - It's impossible to put it to words, but this album has such a good feeling to it that you don't care if the songs aren't the band's best. It just sounds like they have the best intentions and are trying to redefine themselves musically. This is the only album I've heard with so much feeling behind the music. August 12, 2008

I love you Sonny!!!!

Like I said with the other review, this went heads up with Satellite. Awesome band, awesome lyrics and message, awesome guitar playing. I loved ETERNAL at the end. March 11, 2007

Masterpiece

I have followed P.O.D. since they put out "Fundemental Elelemts of Southtown." I am quite impressed on how they have progressed in their sound and how good their music has become. "Payable on Death" is, in my opinion, the best cd P.O.D. has put out. It's hard to describe the sound on this cd. It's metal but it's a soothing metal and Sonny actually sings instead of yells in this cd. It's really nice since Sonny has a great voice. It's ashame P.O.D. didn't keep this sound or their latest cd "Testify" could of been so much better. Since this review is really short and i don't really know how to describe the sound, i will make a list of the tracks and give them a star rating. 1 star = poor, 2 stars =fair, 3 stars = good, 4 stars = great, 5 stars = amazing.

Wildfire - 4 stars
Will You - 4 stars
Change the world - 5 stars
Execute the Sounds - 3 stars
Find My Way - 4 stars
Revolution - 3 stars
The Reasons - 4 stars
Freedom Fighters - 4 stars
Waiting on Today - 5 stars
I and Identify - 4 stars
Asthma - 2 stars
Eternal - 5 stars February 12, 2007

OPEN UP YOUR F***ING MINDS!!!

Ok. Everyone please get over the fact that this CD doesn't sound like the previous ones. What good would it be to make a xerox of the last album. POD is a very talented band that delivers every time. Ya it sucks that Marcos left but this is still a very good album. I honestly could say that this might be my favorite POD album, and Iv'e been a fan since pretty much the start.
POD now has a new guitarist Jason Truby who obviously has a different style then Marcos, but for some reason still gives POD the same kind of spiritual feel to there music, which is why I love POD so much. I think the riffs on this CD go GREAT with the lyrics and feel for POD. Thats because I think POD always stays true, they may have a different guitarist but they still speak from the heart. I think jason truby did a FANTASTIC job on this CD. I especially like Eternal, has a cool little feel to it. I'm not going to review every song individually because they are all great! This entire CD has a great spiritual feel to it and f***ing ROCKS. I recommend this CD to anyone! August 17, 2006

Below Average

Wildfire is the only song that really stuck out to me on this album. Overall the remainder of the songs contained stale lyrics and below average music that was a bit on the dull side. Uninteresting. I don't recommend buying it unless you need a cure for insomnia. August 1, 2006
