    Payable on Death's heaviest tracks... easily outcrunch the competition. [Dec 2003, p.124]

    More quintessentially "metal" in his approach -- think Metallica -- and more of a conscientious technician than Marcos, Truby unfortunately lacks some of the unexpected spark that Marcos brought to P.O.D.

    On track after formulaic track, perfunctory verses rush into roaring refrains of compressed guitar arrgh and charmless didacticism. [7 Nov 2003, p.70]

    Skimps on warmth and even grit except on a few blood-curdling screams--when, blessedly, you don't have to hear their words. [Nov 2003, p.119]

    Amazingly, P.O.D. manage to conjure up a multitude of differing melodic atmospheres that complement, rather than insult, your intelligence. Give it a shot; not revolutionary, but then that's not the point, is it?… Expand
