Review

Q (7/00, p.122) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...Good stuff....a strange mix of disparate sounds and styles: metal riffs, rap, hip-hop, reggae and spiritually aware lyrics...reflecting the diversity of the individual band members' musical influences..."

Title Note

An exclusive Australian edition featuring two bonus tracks.

During the late '90s, as Korn and Limp Bizkit became mainstream artists, it was more difficult for live hip-hop/hard-rock bands to gain recognition. P.O.D. formed in 1992, taking a cue from bands such as Boo-Yaa T.R.I.B.E. by using live guitar, bass, and drums in the place of a D.J. for its intense rap music. After many years of touring as a support act and several independent releases, P.O.D.'s major-label debut, THE FUNDAMENTALS OF SOUTHTOWN was everything that the group's growing fanbase could have hoped for.

In "Southtown," a smooth melodic breakdown escalates to a level of intensity usually reserved for bands as heavy as Pantera. "Rock the Party" and "Lie Down" contrast old-school scratches and programmed drums with instrumentally acoustic verses and Tom Morello-influenced guitar effects. An updated take on U2's "Bullet the Blue Sky" shows how well the song lends itself to a rap interpretation. "Tribal" and "Freestyle" find P.O.D. exploring some progressive territory, a refreshing departure from the overused atonal approach of many contemporaneous rap/metal bands. From the band's humble Southtown beginnings to its earning of a national following, P.O.D.'s do-it-yourself approach to success has proven to be a reflection of their fundamentally honest music.
