“Boom (Crystal Method Mix)” by P.O.D.

The Crystal Method's rework of P.O.D.'s "Boom" landed on the remix set Community Service, and it rode along as a bonus cut when Satellite was reissued in a special edition on August 27, 2002. The original was the third single from the Christian metal band's fourth album, out that April: nu metal and rap-metal adrenaline with the brakes cut.

After the dark brooding of "Youth of the Nation", the band wanted a jolt of joy. Guitarist Marcos Curiel spoke of recapturing the spirit of "Alive": a song to leave people grateful to be breathing and remind them how to have fun, raw and in your face and made for the pit. After the September 11 attacks, Clear Channel put it on its list of songs deemed inappropriate, the only P.O.D. track there. Spin's Annie Zaleski later ranked the original the eighth-best nu metal track ever.
