Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
"What is wrong with the world today?" bellows frontman Coby Dick on Infest, Papa Roach's opening statement of intent. "The government, the media, or your family?" Welcome to the post-Millennial American rockscape, where every teen has his cross to bear and every band approaches the recording of an album with a whole head of demons to exorcise. And welcome, Papa Roach--not a band that comes to lay waste, more a band that studies the emotionally devastated fall-out once everything's been wasted. Infest is an album very much in the mould of Limp Bizkit's Significant Other--muscular, bruising rap-metal, dysfunctional two-fingers-to-the-world attitude--but where Limp Bizkit's anger manifests in Fred Durst's crotch-clutching braggadio, Papa Roach wear their issues with a sense of empathy. The likes of "Revenge" and "Broken Home" ("I know my mother loves me/ But does my father even care?") are pretty self-explanatory, but on "Last Resort"--a brutally simplistic study of a friend's suicide attempt--Papa Roach's brevity is their undeniable strength. Tell the parents--here's a rock band of positive male role-models, ready to bang the world to rights. --Louis Pattison

Format:Audio CD
This album by the tremendously talented lads in 'Papa Roach' is one of the best, meaningful and fun albums EVER made. 2 cd's of raw fun! The first being the actual 'Infest' album with elleven cool tracks and one secret. The second CD has the two non-album bonus tracks, 2 CD-Rom videos and the pick of the Infest tracks.
The Infest album captivates attention from the start with the spectacular Infest it heads off with flying colours. The best tracks are: Broken Home, Last Resort, Infest, Snakes,Between angels and insects, Thrown away and the secret track tight rope. Last Resort has punchy, cool rap lyrics sompotent drum work and sirening cool guitar riffs. The excellent Guitar riff work on 'Tightrope' and 'Broken Home' are second only to R.A.T.M's Tom Morello. The disc also looks cool with shiny logo and symbol. Snakes is made extra fun by wicked Turntable scratches which highlight and improve the work.
The 2nd disc, titled: 'Between Angels and Insects' is just as good. 'Legacy' is a cool track. And the video for Broken Home is up there with the best of them, Last Resort video is also good but extensive editing makes it almost comedic. Throughout both Discs Coby keeps up a well-spoken, thought inducing, meaningful andf well-thought out set of lyrics which will inthralln you completley.
Also, the best thing about 'Papa Roach' is Tobins confident, unashamed Bass work. The best I've heard with cool supporting riffs, Dave's drum work is also excelent fast-paced and stylised with some nice beats.
All in all a great Album!
BUY!
Great price as well!

Imagine, if you will, the torments and anguish of modern America, personified into some of the best rock anthems you have heard. Then imagine, tuneful melodies combined with skillful guitar solos. Imagine a soothing reaggae number as a bonus track. WELL STOP IMAGINING. Papa Roach's Infest is all these things and more. By far one of the best albums I have ever bought, especially for a debut, the band bring the sure fire hits of Last Resort and Broken Home to you with the amazingly catchy Blood Brothers from Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2. If you want a CD that will make you mosh and headbang one minute, attmpt to match Coby Dicks voice the second, and finally relax to a tuneful reggae number the third, then Infest is the album for you. There is not one song that is sub standard on the entire album, and just when you think it cant get much better, the penultimate song Binge shatters all of your preconcepted ideas. A fanstastic album, and a fantastic group. Ladies and Gentleman, Papa Roach have arrived. Buy this album, and youll see why.

A striking debut. I bought this album when it was first released and have loved it more and more since. Pretty much suitable only to younger people, nevertheless this album is very satisfying for those angry moments and upsets in life.
