Review of Papa Roach cd It plays great and my best friend loved it! She and I went to see Papa Roach in concert and we have been fans ever since. This cd is perfect. I will definitely buy more products from this seller.
Still pretty decent three years later...
I got this album roughly three years ago, during the summer of '02. . I was sixteen, I loved "Infest" (which I could also squeeze out four stars for), and I had heard that "P-Roach" was going back to their rock roots. I heard and liked "She Loves Me Not" (turns out it was an earlier version, which I still think is superior), so I figured, worth the purchase.
Upon first listening, I simply said, "meh". However, after a few additional listens, I fell in love with it. Catchy, had a nice flow, not too juvenile, and it could rock a little. To this day, the songs (my favorites being "Life Is A Bullet", "Time And Time Again", "Decompression Period", "Black Clouds", although they're all at least half-way decent) still remind me of the summer of '02: . . . well, nothing you folks at home would be too familiar with, but personal memories. (Well okay, one you remember: Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3. )
So, these days, although I'm not huge into "nu-metal" anymore (I'm not even that into Slipknot anymore, whatever that tells you), Papa Roach's first two albums (Infest and this) are still pretty good. I may not adore them as much as I do Zep, Pantera, Tool, Hatebreed, Nirvana, Green Day, et cetera, but they're still kinda catchy and good. Check it out. You might like it, you might hate it. Whichever. I like it. It gets four stars from me. (although I would've given it an easy five, three years ago. )
By the way, ignore the Parental Advisory sticker. It's not that explicit. I've heard much worse on non-PA albums.
Outstanding, follow up hit.
Its definitly different
sounding from infest, but the similarities
are that they both rock. This album really blew me away the first
time i played it. 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!.
Uneventful
I found the mix to be terrible, as the instruments are hard to hear, and the band sounds very poor. After really enjoying Getting Away with murder, I thought I would pick this cd up as I was told there was no rapping on this. Whomever the producer was should have made a clearer mix. I did like Black Clouds, and a few other tracks, but this was a very discombobulated effort that went in too many directions. Also, the lyrical writing was very poor.
Papa Roach. Lovehatetragedy(3 bonus tracks)
(It should be just above this one. First off,go read the review for Papa Roaches 1st album Infest. )Back? Good. Notice how I described it RAPMETAL. Ussaly you would expect their follow up album to be the same style of music,right? In this case, NO!!!
Papa roach are shedding their skin and becoming an Alt. Metal Angst band, adding deeper emotional lyrics, and shedding their original identification,their rap. That doesnt mean this album is no good. Certainly not. That means that its another type of music and at its roots its still papa roaches angry metal background. You can tell in songs like code of energy and she loves me not Shaddix is showing deep emotions. In songs like Born with nothing die with everything, you can tell tobin and jerry have improved their guitar and bass skills. And songs like Singular Idestructable Droid S. I. D that David has improved upon his drumming skills aswell. Favorite Songs:Code of Energy, She Loves me Not, S. I. D,Born with nothing die with everything.
