    Satellite is without a doubt P.O.D.'s best album ever! A masterpiece! WOW! I have never heard such great stuff in my time. Satellite is P.O.D.'s second release off Atlantic and is a really awesome disk. It is hip-hop, core, reggae, R&B and everything else! Reggae master Eek A Mouse appears on this disk in the track "Ridiculous" and tears up! This disk is so phat! I love it! My favorite track is "MessenJah". It is so honest and gives God and all Christians a reason to stand! I love it so much. I am sure you all heard "Alive" which is a radio tune that I actually love. I am in love with P.O.D. and this album rekindles a flame that I have for this band.

    This CD is an album that will most likely go platinum. Buy it and vote for P.O.D. on MTV.com Help this band be the best! I saw them at Universal Studios for my first time ever and they were wicked! I give this album a 10. Buy this disk. I GUARANTEE, you will love it!

    10/10

    HM Magazine #98Reviewed by Doug Van PeltThis double-disc re-issue features 3 ho-hum remixes on Disc 1, and a fabulous live DVD as Disc 2. The footage and sound is so brilliant that it looks like they brought in a crowd for the recording, as opposed to bringing in cameras and recording gear for a concert. The 5.1 Surround mix is loud and punching. Quite simply, a fabulous treat for P.O.D. fans. Editors' ratings — Doug 3/5, Lonny 3.5/5Art for the Ears 2002Reviewed by Marco PovervestOkay, I'm a bit late with this review. Already more than two million copies have been sold of this album while it's only six months out or so. Satellite is the follow-up to the platinum release The Fundamental Elements Of Southtown. Their music is mainly rapcore but it's sometimes melted together with some hardcore influences and new metal. Some of the songs have proved to have hit potential. The…The Phantom Tollbooth 2002Reviewed by Vik BansalWhen "the boys from the South(town)", P.O.D., released their second major label album on September 11, 2001 (yes, really), few could have predicted that over the next year it would make them the best-selling artists on Atlantic Records. I mean, exactly when did the world have its good taste transplant? A year on, and the people at Atlantic have seen fit to prevent anyone from having an excuse for…Dead Zine 2002Reviewed by D_ListerI read an article in a secular magazine recently about P.O.D., the title of that article was along the lines of 'P.O.D.'s Satellite, moving away from God, Heaven can wait.' The article went on to say that the boys of Southtown were stepping away from the strict Christian stance they had thrust upon the world with their previous album. Knowing that satan will try anything to take down a Christian…HM Magazine #92Reviewed by Jamie Lee RakeSkeptics about the phenomenon surrounding P.O.D., few they may be who read HM, might accuse the band's commercial fortunes to come from a lucky stop of the rap-metal bandwagon that allowed the San Diego warriors to be positioned as the positive (godliness optional) counter-punch to the hedonism and misogyny of Limp Bizkit and P.O.D. label-mate Kid Rock. But, The Fundamental Elements Of Southtown…The Phantom Tollbooth 2001Reviewed by Aaron BellIt seems almost surreal, on a day that will be forever marked as a day of national tragedy paralleling, if not surpassing, that of Pearl Harbor, the Challenger explosion, or the assassination of President Kennedy; on a dark day when America stood still, one of the brightest spots in music released an album. The musical bright spot is P.O.D., and the music they make is from a Christian world view.…
