Papa Roach is a four-piece rock band from
Vacaville, California. They broke into the
mainstream with their three times platinum
major-label debut album Infest (2000). The
group's success continued with later releases
Lovehatetragedy (2002) and Getting Away with
Murder (2004). The group's fourth major album,
The Paramour Sessions, was released on September
12, 2006. Their new album, Metamorphosis, will
be released in October 2008.
Music style
In their first two albums, Old Friends From
Young Years (1997) and Infest (2000), Papa Roach
tended to incorporate influences from nu metal
and rapcore. Since Lovehatetragedy (2002), they
moved to rap-devoid sounds like alternative rock
(except for the songs "Anxiety", played along
with Black Eyed Peas, and "She Loves Me Not").
Frontman Jacoby Shaddix said the following
in an interview with the Dallas Music Guide
regarding the band no longer using rapping in
their music: "...the rapping's gone! I don't
feel like rapping. I'm just over that...I just
want to be a rocker. It's what I wanted to be
when I was a kid".
Shaddix has added this remark in a recent
interview: "Were a band that tries to walk that
line between metal, hardcore, punk rock and pop
music, and we do our best at trying to make it
all tasteful".
To many fans' surprise, "...To Be Loved"
from their most recent album The Paramour
Sessions features glimpses of the old nu metal
sound, with what many would consider rapping in
the beginning and end verses. The lyrics "I'm
taking it back to a hardcore level" may mean
they're regressing to their nu metal roots.
"Roses On My Grave" is the only song featuring
orchestral instruments, giving it a different
flavour compared to the rest of The Paramour
Sessions.
