In Top 10 of my CD Collection Aug 04, 2009 It is rare to have a CD where you love nearly every song, and to accidently fall on such a gem is rarer still. I don't know much about P.O.D.. Although I had a previous CD I didn't care much for it and had never heard of the band before. I liked 5 songs on the thing, maybe. And I paid for it only because my online subscription had all ready sent it to me and I figured I might as well buy it being I had it. I had listened to clips of this CD though, and was hooked. My 3 favorite songs are "Tell Me Why," "This Ain't No Ordinary Love Song," and "It Can't Rain Everyday." But then the only songs I don't really listen to are "Roman Empire," "God Forbid," and "Rise Against." And its not even that they are bad, I just don't care for them. This CD is wonderfully different from what I've heard them do and I am very interested in hearing more. This album ROCKS!!
I like it Mar 23, 2009 Other POD fans don't care for it but I do. It might not be as "wild" as their older stuff but it is still POD and they rock.

No Stars for this P.O.D. CD...pure crap... Feb 10, 2009 Please bring back Jason Truby...I cannot stand this album. You were so much better in Testify, and The Warriors 2 EP... The reggae-ish rock, fits you better.
Do You Really Want the POD of 2001? Jan 18, 2009 C'Mon people- one more year and we will be entering the next decade. Nirvana- Gone. Stone Temple Pilots- Gone. Alice in Chains- Gone. Rage Aganist the Machine- Gone. Soundgarden- Gone. Godsmack- Gone. P.O.D.- STILL ALIVE AND STILL EVOLVING!!! THANK GOD!! Do you really want P.O.D. to making the same music as 2001? Wouldn't it have gotten old by now? With blogs on Amazon such as "Is Music Crappy Nowadays" (or something like that) and a number of posts to it (myself included)- it is refreshing to know that a band that has paid its dues- left one major record label for another because they didn't subscribe to Atlantic's "formula", and risk a lot by putting out a CD that won't please the casual listener, but will be something them and their fans can enjoy for many years down the road- why on Earth would they go back to 2001? Columbia's INO Records gets major props from me from letting P.O.D. be themselves and try different things.
There will be songs on there that you and I will disagree on. I love Condescending, I'll Be Ready and the title track, but I can't stand Roman Empire and Cali-forn-I.A. is an easy skip for me- even though plenty people prefer to listen to this track. You know what- you can't have it all. P.O.D. isn't just making music for my taste, but for all their fans and casual listeners tastes alike. The question is what do you think and feel when you listen to this CD? If you get more out of their CD and than other bands- then won't you consider it a good CD? You can clearly hear them evolving, maturing and trying to do something orginial and mixing genres while taking chances... This CD takes a few spins and for the most part- it is well worth your money. You won't get the whole feel of it by just listening to 30 second track sound bites. Trust me, I've listened to many bands last year and this CD is one of my favorites of 2008. I can't wait to hear what they try next- and I don't consider WA&SD "CRAP".
If your still skeptical, try checking out their videos on YouTube.
P.O.D. does it all Dec 12, 2008 This CD features alot of different sounds from this versatile group. I normally like the hard rock sound of P.O.D.'s earlier albums but I really liked the slower more heartfelt songs like Shine with Me, It Can't Rain Everyday, and End of the World. Of course there are some harder rock songs like addicted and some hip hop sounds as well. This is a great CD.
