P.O.D.: When Angels and Serpents Dance (Review)

(album art from http://promotionscrew.com/payableondeath)

Some may not be a fans of the rap-rock genre, or the small niche that is Christian rap-rock for, but like most nu-metal bands of the early 00's, (Linkin Park, Korn, or the lesser known Thousand Foot Krutch), P.O.D. has cut the rap and kept the rock. This album, with its obvious California influence, is all about the heavy metal rift vs. the reggae groove, with a solid mix of both throughout. What's missing on this album is the heart-pounding P.O.D. of the past. There is no "Youth of the Nation" or "Alive" to be found, which is what most people are craving. That being said, there are a lot of good tracks on the album, such as "Addicted", "End of the World", and only a few duds. Like the title implies, each song emphasizes the struggle between that of the world and that of God, but in a much more metal manor than that of your Sunday morning service. Feel free to give your thoughts on this album by commenting!

I give this album 3.5/5 rocks.
