P.O.D. – The Fundamental Elements Of Southtown (CD, 1999, Atlantic 83216-2)

Why This CD Matters
The Fundamental Elements Of Southtown was P.O.D.’s 1999 major-label debut and brought the San Diego band’s fusion of nu metal, rap-rock, reggae influences, and spiritually focused lyrics to a wider audience. The album includes “Southtown” and “Rock The Party (Off The Hook),” along with a reinterpretation of U2’s “Bullet The Blue Sky.” Produced by Howard Benson, the record became P.O.D.’s commercial breakthrough and preceded the even larger success of 2001’s Satellite.
