Metal music is a diverse genre. However, listen to a lot of it, and you'll find that it consists mostly of large men with long, black hair, screaming about pain, anger and misery. However, P.O.D. have rubbed the black make-up off their faces, wiped the tears from their eyes, and have decided to shout about something a bit more cheerful.
Unlike most metal albums, SATELLITE is geared towards the subject of life and energy, and it works well. The tracks are lively and feel like a breath of fresh air. Most of the guitar riffs are generally solid, although some leave more to be desired (a prime example is the opening track 'Set It Off'). The vocals from lead Sammy are strong and work well. The lyrics could be better, but generally don't get in the way of the fact that this is generally a great album.
The emotion that the band funnel into the music sounds genuine, like they actually mean it. The tunes are catchy, whilst at the same time staying heavy enough to please most metallers. Highlights include 'Boom' and 'Youth of the Nation', two well thought-out, well written tracks that front the first half of the album.
It could be slightly better, but generally this is worth the money, especially if your looking for a more optimistic alternative to death metal. All in all, a great achievement.
