    The best christian rock band ever. P.O.D. has been my favorite artst since thier first album with Atlantic records.Mike B. must be like a devil worshiper or something.

    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?

    It may have a change of style than their last CD but it still is very good.

    This album is a little underrated. It takes a few listens. POD manages well with guitarist and style change. Great to hear a mainstream band experimenting and mixing it up a little.

    I really like what Truby has brought to the band. 9 of 12 songs could be hit's. this CD only rates second to POD's live shows, you all should check them out..

    I am not a "warrior," but Satellite almost had me converted. This was disappointing, and not because Satellite raised expectations. Gone are the roaring rap-metal anthems like "Boom" and "Messenjah," to be replaced by sleepy harmonies and a playground sing-songy quality. Sonny shakes it up a bit in the first track, but after that it's all downhill. This album simply does not rock.

    Dang, those critics are harsh, man! I rated this album a 10/10 for excessive use of creativity, an overabundance of positivity, and awesome members! Rock on, guys!

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

    At excessive volume, Payable On Death sounds like a state-of-the-art metal album, but there's a painful dearth of decent ideas. [Jan 2004, p.118]

    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]
