On its 2006 album, TESTIFY, the Christian nu-metal band P.O.D. gets back in touch with its rap roots, after largely abandoning them on '03's PAYABLE ON DEATH. Producer Glen Ballard (renowned for his work with Alanis Morissette and Aerosmith, among others) bolsters the group's already fierce and formidable sound, allowing the guitars and vocals, in particular, to jump out at listeners. Assisting the long-running ensemble are Hasidic reggae wunderkind Matisyahu (who lends his melodic toasting to the soaring "Roots in Stereo" and the Jah-centric "Strength of My Life") and the Samoan-American hip-hop crew Boo-Yaa T.R.I.B.E. (who contribute bold rhymes to the surprisingly R&B/pop-inflected "On the Grind"). Although these tracks indicate that P.O.D. is willing to delve into various styles, the California-based band is at its best when offering up majestic heavy-metal, most notably "This Time," which stands as one of the group's finest anthems. Although the nu-metal boom had come and gone by the time of this release, P.O.D. proves that it can thrive outside of rock trends on this committed and compelling disc.

P.O.D. comes out with another top-notch CD. These real rock rebels, born-again Christians, have possibly outdone themselves with this album. I think 'Testify' is as good as or possibly better than 'Satellite.' Rock for Jesus doesn't get any better than this. Jah people, ride on!

Lame???
Whoever said this was lame? one star out of 5? dude this is like album of the year material .. simply amazing , you just have to listen to the whole album through understand. They start off the cd with matisyahu then go rapcore, and then soften out vocals on "if you could see me now" and "goodbye for now" almst made me cry. so many dope songs! get this album..

An ambitious double album, STADIUM ARCADIUM finds the Red Hot Chili Peppers building on their more mature, latter-day approach, while also acknowledging their lighthearted, youthful sound. The Los Angeles-based funk-rock quartet's third studio outing since John Frusciante returned to the fold, this 2006 release once again reinforces how crucial the guitarist is to the Peppers' aesthetic, with his mix ...

A Meat Beat Manifesto album is a special thing, since it usually manages to encompass the styles of other acts while still having a distinct voice of its own. Satyricon features the sample-trippy goofiness of the Orb, the sharp, rock-flavored house of the Chemical Brothers, the streamlined trance of Orbital, and the well-oiled angst of Nine Inch Nails, and that's just for starters. Long-term frontman Jack Dangers truly has a producer's ear, which gives his blend of dance music a considerable advantage: he takes a musician's approach into a programmer's territory, and his use of vocals actually upgrades a song's impact rather than diminishes it. There's more song structure here than in any of the aforementioned acts, making this something like a pop group for sworn enemies of the genre. The infectious electronica and obscure samples create an almost constant (and successful) tension between groove and anxiety, between clubber's abandon and confused introspection. Musical partner Jonny Stephens takes ...

I was born in a little town in Ukraine. I am the oldest of ten children. It was rough growing up we had to work really hard to be able to survive from season to season. Mom had a child every year and there was so much work to do on the farm and the garden, As the oldest, I had to run the house a lot even when I was just a little girl. I felt like the second mom. I had always heard about America - how nice it was and that women had as much freedom as men. I heard that you could be a Christian and not have your grades lowered because of it and not get called bad names or have things thrown at you. So I prayed and prayed and then, it happened! We came to this country in May of 1997.I will never forget that night. I thought it was heaven. The streets were clean, there was electricity at all times, and it was beautiful. I got involved in the local Slavic church but as time went on I knew that God wanted more from me then just singing at church. I got married to an AWESOME guy, who is a great man of God and is very supportive of my ministry. Our passion is to help people in need. We want to have wells full of clean water in Africa and to help people get on their feet so they can support their families and send the message of Christ’s love throughout the world. We want to get hungry children off the streets ...
