While the great majority of P.O.D.’s contemporaries in the ill-conceived nu-metal/rap-rock movement of the mid- to late ’90s — chagrin-inducing outfits like Limp Bizkit, a skeleton in oh-so-many closets — have become fossilized relics, P.O.D. has outlasted them all. And while it hasn’t thrived, necessarily, the San Diego-based act has certainly endured. This is largely thanks to the fact that, much like it did for kindred acts Rage Against the Machine and Downset, the fusion of metal and hip-hop always seemed organic rather than contrived for P.O.D. What’s more, the quartet wisely eschewed the hedonism that fueled a lot of that era’s music; as a result, P.O.D.’s songs have always displayed a depth and earnestness that evaded those other bands, who seemed capable of conveying only anger or lust.
