Can't say I have, but I really like the band. Their first album kicked so much ass that I still listen to it over the second. (and the second was good too)

Ah yes, POD.
You know, for the longest time I just thought it stood for People and Dogs... then I listened to one of their songs and said, 'wait - that can't be right.'

Yeah, ok. :P

I bought it today. It's pretty good, but not as "hard" or catchy as their second (Brown) or third (Fundamemtal Elements/Southtown) albums, which I consider their best.

There were not really any stand-out songs like on the other albums, but all were pretty solid. Kind of disappointing though since the recent song Sleeping Awake (from Matrix Reloaded) was really good. The CD is also enhanced though I haven't yet looked at the bonus materials on it.

The bonus disc is pretty neat as well, a PS2 demo of Amplitude and various POD behind the scenes vids, as well as a bit on the cover artist. (And the cover art is awesome!)

NEATO: There is a song called Revolution on the album... perhaps it'll be in the next Matrix??? (they were on the Reloaded soundtrack)

Overall here's how I rank their albums:
1. FEoS
2. Brown
3. Satellite and POD (tie)
5. Snuff the Punk

dreadlock fetish? :lol:

I'm already a cute Korean boy, if I wore dreads I guess I'd be irresistable eh?

"Eh mon, just call me dee "Rose of Sharon" mon!"


Or I suppose you could be more seriously referring to the band's Christian flava and spiritual lyrics, which i certainly appreciate (Down since Brown).

I'm revising my opinion on the album.

After several listens, I think Will You, Execute the Sounds, and Revolution are indeed stand-out tracks.

Revolution, by the way, has some licks from guitar legend Phil Keaggy.

I've figured it out. The album is different from the previous efforts in that it has de-emphasized hip-hop and technical drumming. It's more of a mellow rock-reggae hybrid. thus the less "catchy" sound. Whereas the drums used to kick hard with creative arrangements, and had a rich sound, they're just a regular beat now.
