New Single released by P.O.D called "on fire" today for free download, by all indications this will be a single. It's not bad either.

This is the type of song that they do best. Sounds like something off their debut, which I think is good for them. I doubt that this will do any better than top 40 on active and one or two adds on alternative.

This is the P.O.D. material that I really miss. I loved their earlier stuff from "Fundamentals of Southtown" and "Satellite," but haven't been entirely impressed with too much since then. It's been three years since anything new from them was released. "Addicted" peaked at #30 on Active and "Shine with Me" never charted in the Top 40 as far as I know. Yeah, I'm not expecting this to do that great, but it deserves to.

I'm not sure about this being a single since they don't plan to have the album out until next year.

I'm probably in the minority, as "It Can't Rain Every Day" is my favorite by them.

I think Satellite and Southtown were their best albums, but at the same time feel their later material gets way too much flak. Testify and Serpents especially may not have been as strong as Satellite, but were very much still firmly rooted in the same overall mixture of style. |

I'm still a huge fan of the song "Sleeping Awake". I felt that was the most interesting song they ever wrote.

Actually, I think that was my least favorite single, surprisingly enough.

Yeah, same here. Whenever I happen to listen to whatever mix that I have it on, I skip over it.

Yeah, I'm not expecting this to do that great, but it deserves to. I enjoyed some of the newer materials "goodbye for now", "Lights out" and "Shine with me" were all very good songs that for the most part (goodbye for now being the exception) performed far worse then they have. I do agree that satellite and TFEOS were the best albums by far, which is why I'm so excited for this album as howward Benson who produced those two is producing this one too. Would love for another anthemic song as heavy as "Southtown" or "Set if Off." |
