  1. A collection that contains no weak links, no fillers, no afterthoughts and almost no mistakes.
  2. A mature and workmanlike metal monster-piece.
  3. A sleek collision of burbling basslines, adversarial vocals and downtuned brutality. [Mar 2006, p.109]
  4. It is P.O.D.'s lyrics, which are stuck in adolescent neutral, that doom "Testify" to feeling like a relic. [28 Jan 2006]

    P.O.D. is the best. It is great music. and I don't care what any of you idiots have to say about it.

    There are plenty of great tunes here to keep you interested. It is also a return to form for P.O.D., with rapcore elements reintroduced. The only problem is, it just isn't as original or memorable as Satellite. For example, no track stands out as much as a shout along "Youth of the Nation" or rap-metal-punk "Boom." And guitar riffs aren't as savage, and often drowned out by premade loops programmed by some dude in his mama's basement. However, songs like "Strength of My Life" make this a no-brainer for nu metal fans looking for something to chew on. Expand

    it's not as brilliant as their past albums but in all, not that bad. just wish they would stop holding on to "goodbye for now" to sell them.
