Released 20 years ago last month, this is the 6th album by nu metal band P.O.D. and their last album on Atlantic Records. The band is known for lots of heavy guitars and screaming and some rap-style delivery on some of the vocals. Some songs get a bit reggae as well, especially the opening track "Roots In Stereo", which features guest vocals from Matisyahu along with P.O.D.'s lead singer Sonny. The Internet says "Goodbye For Now" was a pretty successful single for the band, and well, it may have been the last most of the world heard from P.O.D., despite that they have released another 6 albums in the last 20 years. Honestly, I picked up this album about 20 years ago because I liked their previous Atlantic releases, but I've almost never listened to it. It's definitely a dozen songs from the band, but most of them are just not that exciting or memorable. I do now remember hearing "This Time" on Christian rock radio a lot, I think, and it's a pretty good song. Their albums released after this I never even bothered to listen to, though I do like their earlier albums a lot and listen to them on occasion. Maybe my interests in music changed, or maybe the band changed; I'm really not sure which.
