Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Following up a commercial flop is an uphill struggle, but on Getting Away With Murder, Papa Roach seem to be doing everything they can to put 2002's underperforming Lovehatetragedy behind them. The opening "Blood (Empty Promises" is an anguished, dense opener that sees frontman Jacoby Shaddix revisiting old themes and reopening old wounds, but it's performed with the sort of spectacular rock dynamics that mark Papa Roach out as something more that nu-metal also-rans. Elsewhere, the likes of "Blanket of Fear" and "Be Free" find the band moving into more bleak, gothic territory with some success. Shaddix's lyrics still stumble a line between brutal emotional clarity and 6th Form poetry: "Does anyone around me feel the same?/ Put your fist up and vent your pain," he barks, balanced on the edge of self-parody, on "Take Me". Still, it's a neat novelty to find a metal vocalist that doesn't feel the need to dress their lyrics up with all manner of impenetrable psychobabble, and it works just fine on "Scars", the LP's sure-fire hit-single-in-waiting. --Louis Pattison

Format:Audio CD
At first I thought this is an average album that only had one good song on the album 'Getting Away With Murder' (which sold the album to me). I was expecting songs similar to the first two albums and the new song. It took me a couple of listens to get used to this album.

This is an album completely different from their first two albums and 'Getting Away With Murder'.
Why 5 Stars?
This album is full of well written songs, every song is instantly great. Yeah sure they've had great songs('Between Angels & Insects' to name but one) that sounded great but never a great album to go with the couple of great songs they have.
This is their great album, however its not for their guitar rifts or the drum beats that made their first two albums but for Jacoby Shaddix vocals. The rifts and the beats add to Jacoby's vocals to make them even more meaningful. and never drown him out.

Every song has emotion that i've never known Papa Roach to have before, just listen to the emotion that goes through Jacoby's voice in the song 'SCARS', as he sings the chorus 'I Tear My Heart Open - I Sew Myself Shut - My Weakness Is That I Care Too Much - Our Scars Remind Us The Past Is Real -I Tear My Heart Open Just To Feel' to anyone else they may seem average but Jacoby puts real emotion into them to make them really meaningful. This deserves to be released as a single.
This album has its full of emotional songs for different feelings, 'Do or Die', 'Blood (empty promises)', 'Take Me', 'Done With You' and 'Promises' that are the real standout songs on the album.

Don't expect an album in a similar sound to 'Getting Away With Murder', it has a very different techno vibe going for it, its very different musically to every other song on the album. Its no bad thing. Its the big song to sell the album. Just don't be suprised when you buy it by the difference musically and emotionally of the whole album, from it.

A MUST BUY!

Let's face it, Infest was about as bad as nu/rap-metal pap got back before it started dying out. The second album headed in the right direction, but the songs just didn't grab you. This third album is nothing like how PR started out, and thank god. Straight ahead rock, with, get this, SINGING, and MELODY replaces angsty-teen lyrics and nu-metal riffs that will come to mind when most think "Papa roach". There's little doubt it wont sell like Infest, and this is one of the endearing qualities of this album and where papa roach are heading; even if you don't totally dig the songs here, they deserve a lot of respect for doing the opposite of selling out, when they could have simply got a guaranteed hit album with the rap/nu-metal formula.

I could name "highlight tracks", but the list would make up most of the album, so just put away your prejudice against the name on the album cover for 45 minutes, and you could be very pleasantly surprised.

Papa Roach are one of my favourite bands, and have been since shortly after Infest. This new album is deffinatly shows off their ability and the versitility of the band.

When I first saw the GAWM video on their site, I have to admit, I was scared about the direction that they were taking. But, after listening to the song for a few (dozen) times, I had to class it as one of the best songs of the year.

Then, I went to see the band in London at the Astoria. Godlike. The whole gig rocked. They played songs from all three albums, mixing the power of Infest and Blood Brothers, the angsty Black Clouds and then the new sounds from this offering.

The songs were all amazingly well recieved, with the moshing and energy never dropping off. The new tunes were as well recieved as the old, and the power of the songs spoke for themselfs.
