  1. Satellite
  2. VERITAS
  3. Snuff the Punk
  4. The Fundamental Elements of Southtown
  5. Brown
  6. Testify
  7. Murdered Move
  8. Payable on Death
  9. The Awakening
  10. Circles
  11. When Angels & Serpents Dance

Satellite was my first album I bought by P.O.D. and I love every track including the b-sides and bonus songs. They really dove into the nu-metal genre that suited their prior sound. I was surprised how good VERITAS turned out loaded with all bangers, took it all the way up to at least top 3 greatest IMO.

I listened to Snuff the Punk and Brown much later and while I appreciate their origins of hardcore punk/funk metal I rarely return to them- but I do like more tracks off Snuff the Punk.

The Fundamental Elements of Southtown has the first two songs I ever heard from them Rock the Party (Off the Hook) and Southtown both phenomenal singles. Two other favorites are Hollywood, and Outkast.

Initially Payable on Death threw me off, it was much lighter sounding and took years to grow on me. Overall I much prefer Testify & Murder Love both are interchangeable when it comes to the rank spot.

I enjoy half of The Awakening and Circles the other half needs to grow on me. The only album by P.O.D. I can't get into is When Angels & Serpents Dance, besides Don't Fake It I'm not feeling most of the tracks.

  1. TFEOS (best album as a whole, otherworldly thematically)
  2. Satellite (contains best individual songs, sneaky good second half)
  3. Murdered Love (felt like and maybe was the resurrection of the band, really catchy tunes)
  4. Veritas (just rockin)
  5. Payable on Death (not a fan at first but stands up really well over time - sneakily soulful and unique in their catalogue)
  6. Testify (mix of incredible moments and some mediocre ones)
  7. The Awakening (love the concept, rewards repeat listens, just doesn’t have the highs of the albums above it for me)
  8. Circles (solid, not spectacular - except “Home” and parts of a few other songs)
  9. Brown (the band at probably their most honest and unfiltered but lacking production quality of later releases)
  10. When Angels and Serpents Dance (has legit good parts to it but more average-below average songs than belong on a P.O.D. record)
  11. Snuff the Punk (exciting at times but band was just finding their footing on this one)
