Product Description
CD Description
In a musical climate dominated by electro and synth, multi-platinum Grammy-nominated Papa Roach return to tear things up, unleashing a new album which conjures a vicious, vibrant intensity that is raw, relevant and ready to rock. The Californian quartet are back with Metamorphosis, featuring the single "Hollywood Whore".
Papa Roach are vocalist Jacoby Shaddix, bassist Tobin Esperance, guitarist Jerry Horton and new member, (ex-Unwritten Law's) drummer Tony Palermo. Since bursting onto the scene in 2000, the band have toured the world and hits including "Forever", "Scars", "Getting Away With Murder" and the smash hit single "Last Resort" which peaked at #4 in the UK charts. Metamorphosis captures Papa Roach's live energy on record. The album engages a full-on rock 'n' roll assault fuelled by the band's punky raw energy, catchy guitar riffs and atmospheric melodies.

I've been to see Papa Roach twice in 2009 and they were amazing to say the least!
This album you can sing along to from start to finish, it's hard not! It's also hard to name the best track as there's nothing on here that I would even think about skiping through. I've got all their albums and this is the best by far proving that they are just going from strength to strength. I've also converted some people on the strength of this album alone!
Just buy it and then go see them live next time they come to the UK.

You have to feel sorry for Papa Roach; fighting against current trends, and walking a fine line between the sack from the record label or having that hit song ala Nickelback to send them to the top.
Certainly they are unrecognisable from the Rap Metal outfit of the Millenium dawn & the teen angst lyrics that went with it. Now a fully fledged, Rock/Metal outfit that have a sound best described as a modern day, edgy Motley Crue. In all fairness, they fill the criteria that's needed, the songwriting (mainly from the bass player) is strong with good hooks & genuineley decent verses/choruses, the musicianship is strong but not overtly flashy, Shaddix can sing (despite the walking cliche Rock Star look) and the production is excellent - organic & still very modern.
It's not a revelationary album, and certainly not a revolutionary one but in an era of the extremes of Death Metal and the softer rock scenes and pop rubbish, there almost feels like there IS a market for this (would be) Stadium Metal!
AC/DC, Aerosmith, Motley Crue etc - none are getting any younger so why not room for this kind of act?
One thing, I have noticed is a lot more variety in the guitar work now. Ok, there is still the odd Iron Maiden style harmony, but there is progression and more genuine lead breaks. I still reckon perhaps even more lead guitar would be welcome for this style of material. I'm not suggesting the ott histrionics of Dragonforce by any means but perhaps something ala Guns N Roses - especially on the more melodic material?? I'm not convinced the guitarist is really a lead player as such so maybe a second guitarist is an option for the future...
Bass guitar is strong too - kind of locked in hard and holding it all down.
For those with an aversion to all things Nu Metal, then fear not - there are no Rap vocals at all here - anywhere. No DJ's scratching either - Just vox, guitar, bass and some pretty loud drumming, all to a good production job that doesn't go too overboard on FX & programming.
Best tracks; Hollywood Whore (lyrically in similiar waters to Metallica's Memory Remains), State Of Emergency, the anthemic & fast Change Or Die and Into The Light which reminds me almost of Paul Dianno era Maiden.
There are one or two soft tracks - not my bag but well enough written if yours. Lifeline does indeed have a touch of Keane about it but has an annoyingly hooky chorus.
At the end of the day, whether fashionable or not, and whether selling by bucketloads, it's a very honest ROCK album, totally different for example to Linkin Park's Minutes To Midnight with it's blatant leanings towards U2.
