Product Description
Amazon.ca
For their second major-label release, Northern California's Papa Roach follow the same recipe of other rap-metal crossovers: aggressive, thick-chugging riffs, angst-driven lyrics, and touches of good ol' classic rock. Tracks "Time and Time Again," "Born with Nothing, Die with Everything," and "She Loves Me Not" have big, fat, clever choruses, which would fit with ease on harder mainstream radio. Elsewhere, they are far more engaging: "M-80 (Explosive Energy Movement)" bashes away with punk stylings, and the sweeping "lovehatetragedy" includes interesting chord and tempo changes. Jacoby Shaddix (the vocalist formerly known as Coby Dick) gives an impressive performance, and while he might not have the power of most of his contemporaries, he makes up for it with his more melodic approach, even within his raps. The only thing that's lacking is a distinction factor that sets them apart from everyone else, but at least they didn't steal any Iron Maiden riffs this time. --Gail Flug

This album really blew me away the first
time i played it. Its definitly different
sounding from infest, but the similarities
are that they both rock. Jacoby S. steers
away from his super fast lyrics in this
album, and focuses on a more slow and
diverse style of singing. But thats the
only real change, Jerry H. & Tobin E. still
rock hard, and Dave Buckner shows large
improvements on the drums. Overall this is
a great album and I reccoment it!

Ok, I bought the Infest album, I'll admit it. I thought the guitar work was intriguing, but the more I listened to it the more I couldn't ignore the complete ridiculousness of Coby Dick's lyrics (he even says his name in his songs people! Don't be that guy) How many times can you rhyme the word "bleed," with the word "bleed!?"
So anyway, one of my less picky friends picked up this album and put it in while we were working on his car. After a few mintues without any biased influence I stopped and said "what is this crap?" Even with the catchier Pepsi commercial song, the crappiness of this band just permiated the atmosphere. So I hit my friend with a hammer and put in TRUSTcompany.
I'm not the most discerning music critic, but sometimes I come on to Amazon to look for new music and when I read all the shining reviews of bands I've never heard before I think, "well if all these people liked it, it must be ok" but then I come to Papa Roach, and ALL these people like them! So disheartening, that a bunch of fat white suburban kids can win so many fans for writing bad songs about how they're angry and depressed.

All the songs sound the same and the same stupid,boring,gay, cheesy lirycs from one crappy nu-metal band...No surprises here folks!I honestly, do not know why i even bother to give this a listing but being the open minded person that im--well, i gave it a chance but i hate myself for doing that! From the first track to the last...Pure ,unspering music with no talent at all. The fact that kids consider this music and enjoy listining to it is beyond me! Buy the new scarlet album pls and leave this crap alone.

How can you give this any less??
This album speaks volumes about one person's struggle with hatred/depression/hopelessness. That sounds very bad, but they do it with a very "f... it lets rock" attitude. Read more
