'''''Payable on Death''''' is the fifth studio album by Christian [[nu metal]] band [[P.O.D.]] It is the group's first album to feature guitarist [[Jason Truby]] following the controversial departure of [[Marcos Curiel]], and their last album produced by [[Howard Benson]] (until ''[[Murdered Love]]'' in 2012). ''Payable on Death'' was released on November 4, 2003, through [[Atlantic Records|Atlantic]] and marks a notable de-emphasizing of the band's distinctive [[rap metal]] style. While a commercial disappointment compared to ''[[Satellite (P.O.D. album)|Satellite]]'', it still managed to sell over 1,300,000 copies worldwide.<ref name="blabbermouthsales">{{cite web|url=http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=23509 |title=P.O.D.'s Latest Album Passes One Million Mark In Worldwide Sales|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050911104202/http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=23509 |archive-date=September 11, 2005|  website=Blabbermouth.net| date=June 10, 2004 |access-date=June 12, 2011 |url-status=dead}}.</ref>

==Background and recording==
Following the triple-platinum success of ''[[Satellite (P.O.D. album)|Satellite]]'', P.O.D. enjoyed abundant radio, television, and concert success. However, on February 19, 2003, guitarist [[Marcos Curiel]] left the band under controversial circumstances, with contradictory reasons given from both parties.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1470028/20030219/pod.jhtml | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20030304012653/http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1470028/20030219/pod.jhtml | url-status=dead | archive-date=March 4, 2003 | title= Marcos leaves the group |accessdate= December 4, 2007 | author= Moss, Corey | work=[[Music Television]]| date=February 19, 2003}}</ref><ref>{{cite magazine | url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/72276/guitarist-marcos-exits-pod | title= Guitarist Marcos exits P.O.D.| accessdate= December 31, 2007 | author=Cohen, Jonathan| date=February 19, 2003| magazine=[[Billboard magazine|Billboard]]}}</ref> The remaining members expressed remorse in their friend's departure and considered disbanding until [[Jason Truby]], former member of [[Christian metal]] band [[Living Sacrifice]], assisted with the recording of  "[[Sleeping Awake]]", from ''[[The Matrix Reloaded]]'' [[The Matrix Reloaded: The Album|soundtrack]]. The alliance strengthened the band and allowed them to begin recording a new album in spring 2003.<ref name="P.O.D. Saved By 'Matrix Reloaded' Song">{{cite web|url=http://music.yahoo.com/read/news/12026944 |title=P.O.D. Saved By 'Matrix Reloaded' Song |accessdate=January 6, 2008 |work=[[Yahoo!

Yearning for a fresh start, the group rented a practice space in [[San Diego]] and started jamming with no expectations and no deadlines. Vocalist [[Sonny Sandoval]] explained, "We took it back to the roots. We broke down the walls in this abandoned warehouse and set up shop. The doors were always open to our friends and family and people around San Diego to come through. And it was just more of a home vibe." According to bassist [[Traa Daniels]], "It was innocent and it was natural and fun." Within the first month of recording, P.O.D. had an unprecedented 17 songs to work with.<ref name="beauty heavy" /> The group also decided on the title ''Payable on Death'' both to set the record straight regarding the band's initials and as a symbol of their rebirth.<ref>Wiederhorn, Jon [http://www.vh1.com/news/articles/1479464/20031002/index.jhtml P.O.D.

Daniels stated the two rules in writing their fifth album as "to never have any boundaries musically" and "to be as organic as we could possibly be." The latter meant not relying on [[ProTools]] and instead using an "old school" approach to recording. Daniels also explained their desire to "just be a rock band. Period. Not a "[[nu metal]]" band, not any of these other categories and clichés that people have been trying to throw on us."

Guitarist Jason Truby expressed satisfaction with his participation in the songwriting process: "Everyone respects each other and they let me be me and also we understand that there are boundaries. You can't redefine P.O.D. and flip the whole page into some new band. It's just P.O.D. and everybody brings something to the pot and puts their ingredient in, which kept it P.O.D. instead of it turning into 'Okay, this is P.O.D. with Jason.{{'"}}<ref name="ign">D., Spence [http://music.ign.com/articles/458/458280p2.html P.O.D.

==Music and lyrics==
On ''Payable on Death'', the band chose to head in a more traditional metal sound than the previous album, ''[[Satellite (P.O.D. album)|Satellite]]''. Traa Daniels noted in May 2003 that the album would deal with the upsetting departure of Curiel but that "a lot of these songs are coming out fun. We're not a downer band. We're not trying to get too deep."<ref name="beauty heavy">Wiederhorn, Jon [http://www.vh1.com/news/articles/1471887/20030515/index.jhtml P.O.D.

The track features Truby playing [[acoustic guitar|acoustic]] rhythm alongside Keaggy's electric guitar on lead.

==Touring and promotion==
''Payable on Death'' did not venture heavily in the way of promotional [[single (music)|singles]]. "[[Will You (P.O.D. song)|Will You]]" served as its [[lead single]] which had an accompanying music video. Thematically, the song showcased a lesser known side of P.O.D. with a bitter love story in place of the band's typical spiritual and urban themes. "[[Change the World (P.O.D. song)|Change the World]]" would be the follow-up, but didn't manage to repeat the same level of success.

According to Sandoval, [[Metallica]] requested P.O.D. for the 2003 [[Summer Sanitarium Tour]], but this conflicted with their recording schedule. They allegedly received many offers to tour at the beginning of 2004 and had hoped to join Metallica in January.<ref>[http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=12147 P.O.D.

==Release==
A few weeks after the official track listing was announced, the album's [[lead single]] was posted online for streaming in September 2003. The first million copies of ''Payable on Death'' included a bonus [[PlayStation 2]] DVD. This features a 50-minute documentary titled "Inside P.O.D.

The additional material prompted the album's retail price to be slightly higher than average CDs and was viewed by ''[[The New York Times|New York Times]]'' writer Chris Nelson as "a testament to just how desperate music companies are to stoke consumer interest" in the face of free Internet [[Peer-to-peer file sharing|music sharing]].<ref>Nelson, Chris [https://www.nytimes.com/2003/10/06/business/media-trying-to-sell-cd-s-by-adding-extras.html MEDIA; Trying to Sell CD's by Adding Extras] ''[[The New York Times]]'' (October 6, 2003).

===DualDisc edition===
''Payable on Death'' was included among a group of 15 [[DualDisc]] releases that were test marketed in two cities: Boston and Seattle. The [[DualDisc]] has the standard album on one side, and bonus material on the second side.

The DualDisc version was later reissued in a more widely distributed version. The original test market version differs from this common version in both packaging elements and in the design of the back of the inlay card.

===Cover art===
The [[album cover]] was designed and painted by Latino artist [[Daniel Martin Diaz]]. While Daniel claims he is a devout [[Catholic]], some Christians felt the cover was negatively [[symbol]]ic, and in a move previously experienced with ''[[The Fundamental Elements of Southtown]]'', 85% of Christian music stores refused to carry the album.<ref name="CR_POD_2003">{{cite web |title=Artwork Controversy: Cover art causes 85 per cent of American Christian bookstores to ban P.O.D. album |url=http://www.crossrhythms.co.uk/articles/news/Artwork_Controversy/12302/p1/ |date=December 17, 2003 |publisher=[[Cross Rhythms]] }}</ref> In response, Sonny Sandoval stated that he "couldn't care less" and that the album was selling well regardless.<ref name="packing">Moss, Corey [https://web.archive.org/web/20121107110749/http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1483978/new-pod-video-has-its-own-world-tour.jhtml P.O.D.

Reviews of ''Payable on Death'' varied and were very mixed, as [[Metacritic]] gave it a score of 54 out of 100.<ref name="Metacritic Score"/> Truby's guitar style gained much attention and was considered more technical and somewhat heavier than that of Curiel's. [[AllMusic]]'s Matt Collar considered it a "darker album than its predecessor" and found that "Truby unfortunately lacks some of the unexpected spark that Marcos brought to P.O.D. Fans of the band shouldn't find much to complain about here though, even if the overall sound doesn't stand out as distinctly from the nu-metal pack as ''Satellite'' did."<ref name="Allmusic Review"/> Neil Drumming of ''[[Entertainment Weekly]]'' gave a largely scathing review of the album, stating, "On track after formulaic track, perfunctory verses rush into roaring refrains of compressed guitar arrrgh and charmless didacticism."<ref name="EW Review"/> This negativity was largely mirrored by reviews in ''[[Blender (magazine)|Blender]]'' and ''[[Rolling Stone]]''.<ref name="RS Review"/>

===Commercial success===
Having sold 106,000 copies in its first week, ''Payable on Death'' debuted at No. 9 on the [[Billboard 200|''Billboard'' 200]] chart on the strength of the first single and music video for "[[Will You (P.O.D. song)|Will You]]". The band filmed a video for the next single, "[[Change the World (P.O.D. song)|Change the World]]", but it was never shipped to [[MTV]]. However, it did air on the lesser known [[Fuse TV]]. The album's relatively poor sales compared to P.O.D.'s mammoth success, ''Satellite'', have been partly attributed to a shakeup at [[Atlantic Records]], leaving P.O.D. with no label support. Atlantic was sold to a private investor resulting in several thousand people, many of whom close to P.O.D., losing their jobs.<ref name="blabbermouthsales" />

According to [[Soundscan]], ''Payable on Death'' sold a little under 500,000 copies as of January 2006.<!--don't AWB genfix this--> However, it has shipped over 500,000 copies in the U.S.; therefore, ''Payable on Death'' was certified [[Music recording sales certification|gold]] by the [[RIAA]]. Not until June 2004 did it pass the one-million sales mark. It has sold over 1,300,000 copies worldwide.<ref name="blabbermouthsales" /> It is credited as the last commercially successful album released by P.O.D.
