Something great has become even better!

"I own every P.O.D. album and have been a fan (Warrior) since the original release of "Brown" on Rescue Records. I was lucky enough to see them play live while they were still playing only small venues. Of all their albums, Satellite is their best. I waited for months for Satellite to originally be released last year. Unfortunatly, the original release date was overshadowed by something much more dynamic. The original release date was September 11, 2001.Fortunately, the songs of faith, hope, and joy on Satellite helped me and so many others deal with the events of September 11. Songs like "Alive", "Youth Of The Nation", and "Satellite" not only have topped the charts and received a lot of MTV airplay; they have also touched many hearts with their honest and poignant lyrics. The song "Boom" has become an anthem heard in television shows and movies.Every review on this album also mentions the guest appearances by HR and Eek-a-mouse. Although I have been a Bad Brains and Eek-a-mouse fan since the 1980's, I still have to stress how impressive the guest appearance of Christian Lindskog is on the song "Anything Right". Christian Lindskog is the vocalist for the Swedish band "Blindside". Blindside is the first band to have a release on POD's own label "Three Point Records". If you like POD, I highly recommend "Silence" by Blindside.The songs "Without Jah, Nothin'", "Ghetto", and "Portrait" affirm POD's commitment to the everlasting truth of divine salvation.This Limited Edition CD has a few neat re-mixes of "Alive", "Youth Of The Nation", and my favorite, "Boom". The Crystal Method Remix of "Boom" is a lot of fun.This CD set also includes a DVD with four tracks of live concert footage and a short "behind the scenes" video. The behind the scenes video is something I really enjoyed. However, I hope POD soon releases a full length DVD that includes all their music videos along with old and new concert footage. A full length POD DVD is due soon. I hope the label realizes this and is planning it.With artists like Marilyn Manson and Eminem selling millions of albums that promote hate, violence, and sexual immorality, it is a awesome to see bands like POD and Sixpence None The Richer (whose new album is due out soon) continue to make a difference in popular music by promoting truth, love, and integrity."
A big improvement over their last album.

"I didn't really like P.O.D's 'The Fundamental Elements of Southtown' that much.It just wasen't anything special and most of the songs just sounded bland.However,this is a great improvement over The Fundamental Elements of Southtown,and a great buy if you are in to rock music.Some songs are very memerable and not really forgettable.The bonus tracks are alright.There are three bonus tracks.Two are remixes of 'Boom' and 'The Youth of The Nation',while the other bonus track is a accustic version of 'Alive'.Plus,this comes with a great DVD of P.O.D playing live.If you havent been to a P.O.D concert,its a great way to see what its like to be at one.I think the bonus DVD is cool.If you have the original version of Setellite,though,I don't think you need this one.The minor upgrades are cool,but not worth spending [any more] on.I am happy I bought this album,because I was ready not to because I didn't like their last album that much but I still gave this a chance.And I like it,too!So yeah,its worth buying.4 Stars is what I rate it."
P.O.D.'s finest hour

"Following up the success of 1999's 'The Fundamental Elements Of Southtown,' P.O.D. kicked things up a notch with their fourth release 'Satellite.' Evolving from their rap-metal roots, this effort focuses more on melodies, hooks and all around better song writing. Once you get past the ham-fisted rap-rock of "Boom" and "Set It Off," you will find a wealth of melodic and heavy songs about faith and positivity. The best feature about P.O.D.'s music is that, even though they are a Christian band, you don't have to be Christian to appreciate their music (I'm not). Sure, they may make music about their faith in God, but they don't come off as preachy and you can put your own meaning to a lot of the songs. They have universal appeal. The singles "Alive" and "Satellite" have always been favorites of mine. They perfectly represent what the band is all about and what they are capable of. Other tracks like "The Messenjah" and "Portrait" have the band getting a little heavier than usual with some stellar songwriting intact, while "Anything Right" gets a hand from Christian from Blindside (who is, incidentally, a Christian) and is the most intense track the band has recorded to date. 'Satellite' is easily P.O.D.'s best work. It is my opinion that they lost their magic when they ditched their former guitarist Marcos Curiel. Their new guitarist is good enough, but Curiel had such a signature sound and his riffs were massive and carried the songs like a wave. I seriously doubt they will be able to capture the lightning in the bottle again. This album marks a period in time where the band was in top form, both artistically and commercially. It was once of the best rock albums of 2001 and since it was released on September 11th, it became the perfect soundtrack for people looking for something a little more positive and uplifting.The Limited Edition is a nice package. My original copy was severely scratched, so when I bought a new copy, this version was the natural choice. All 15 of the original tracks are here, along with three bonus tracks: "Alive (Semi-Acoustic)," "Youth Of The Nation (Conjure One Mix)," remixed by Fear Factory producer Rhys Fulber, and the Crystal Method remix of "Boom." All the remixes are decent, the "Alive" version being the best. The bonus DVD is decent. I don't usually put too much stock into these things, so this one fairs well. We get four live performances and a mediocre "Inside The Satellite" feature that doesn't tell us anything we already don't know. But all in all, it's a worthy package."
