Description:
Unless you were in a coma for a good chunk of the 2000s, you know exactly who Papa Roach are. For those of you who’ve just emerged from comatose, firstly, welcome back, secondly, Papa Roach are a 4 piece whatever-happens-to-be-trendy-core band from Vacaville, California. After the ubiquitous success of their 2000 single ‘Last Resort’ and their sophomore album going triple platinum in the US, Papa Roach have struggled to match that colossal accomplishment ever since. 17 years on, they have released their ninth studio album.
This album oozes with the desire to remain relevant in whatever way it can. Vocalist Jacoby Shaddix does his best at delivering some classic rap metal verses, but with the rise of bands like Hacktivist and others doing that in such a modern way, Shaddix’s attempts at this sound come off archaic and very dated. There are some decently catchy choruses throughout, but a lot of these songs rely very heavily on these for their run time, and unfortunately the choruses aren’t strong enough to be used so often. This desperation to be accessible is accentuated by the appearance of Machine Gun Kelly as a feature on the track ‘Surnise Trailer Park’, where Shaddix decries his past over a watered down pop punk instrumental. MGK is in this track for just over 30 seconds, and is likely just on here to appeal to a wider audience.
The instrumentals on here are probably my biggest gripe with the overall sound of the record. Every track is formulaic in structure and the guitar tone is overproduced to the point of lacking any human element to it’s playing. Papa Roach have clearly acknowledged the popularity of djent and pop punk on this record and given their best go at writing riffs that wouldn’t be out of place in either genre, but the tones and elements used in this album remove all the charm that those genres usually exhibit. As this album goes on modern pop elements begin leaking into the tracks, guitars and real drums take a backseat to synth leads and sampled drum beats. This is most notable on the track ‘None Of The Above’, which sounds like a Twenty One Pilots deep cut in it’s vocal phrasing and structure. It’s a little sad to know that this band once had their own sound that brought them such a huge audience, but their unique potential is wasted on their desperation to sell to a mainstream audience.
Shaddix has never been a master wordsmith, but the lyrics on this are what I can only describe as generic. Whilst his vocal performance is consistent and solid, what’s actually being said here leaves an awful lot to be desired. I feel as though I could present this album to a class studying entry level alt-rock lyricism as a level 1 template to writing a modern rock song. From the opening track to the record’s love song closer ‘Bleeding Through’, there’s not a single lyric that has stuck in my mind, which is again rather disappointing when the lyrics to ‘Last Resort’ are almost universally recognized and recitable.
In summary, Papa Roach’s attempt at modern relevancy has let them down here. Whilst never being to my taste, this band once had a massive audience that loved them for their rhythmic vocal delivery and crunching guitars, and everything that made them so beloved is vacant from this record. If you’re into accessible, catchy rock then I can see you probably enjoying ‘Crooked Teeth’, ‘Richocet’, ‘Traumatic’ and ‘Bleeding Through’. These are the strongest cuts here in my opinion, the rest falls short of the finish line. For me, this record is exceptionally unremarkable. Not unlistenable, just uninspiring. It lacks any individualism, and that is self inflicted. Maybe next time, Papa Roach.
Starting out as a punk- and rap-influenced band, the Northern California group Papa Roach eventually grew into a straight-ahead hard rock ensemble with strong heavy metal leanings. Consisting of Coby Dick, Jerry Horton, Dave Buckner, and Tobin Esperance, Papa Roach formed in 1993 and began releasing EPs soon after, including 1994’s Potatoes for Christmas and 1995’s Caca Bonita. By 1996, the group had replaced original bassist Will James with Esperance and hired a new manager; the following year, Papa Roach released their first full-length album, Old Friends from Young Years, which became a surprise hit on local radio. The band’s regional success led to more prominent gigs, including dates with Suicidal Tendencies, Sevendust, and Powerman 5000, and a deal with Dreamworks Records, which released Papa Roach’s second album, Infest, in early 2000. The album went triple platinum thanks to the success of “Last Resort,” an intensely popular single that helped make Papa Roach one of the most beloved hard rock acts of the new millennium. Two years later, frontman Coby Dick opted to go by his given name of Jacoby Shaddix, and a new album, lovehatetragedy, was released that June. Stylistically, the band had begun to grow beyond its rap-rock roots and the new tracks showcased a slightly more mature, melodic, and straightforward hard rock sound. That same summer, however, the band joined a number of rap acts — including Ludacris and Xzibit — on Eminem’s Anger Management Tour. In 2004, Papa Roach released their fourth studio effort, Getting Away with Murder. Buoyed by the success of the single “Scars,” Getting Away with Murder sold well and eventually went platinum. Two years later, Papa Roach began work on their next studio album at the infamous and historical Paramour mansion in Hollywood, once the home of silent movie star Antonio Moreno. Released in fall 2006, The Paramour Sessions featured a heavy L.A. rock aesthetic and generated two Top Ten rock singles, although its sales stalled around 400,000 copies. Drummer Dave Buckner exited the lineup one year later; after filling the empty seat with Unwritten Law’s Tony Palermo, Papa Roach hit the road to support The Paramour Sessions with tour dates alongside Seether and Staind. They remained on the road after joining Mtley Cre’s Cre Fest in 2008, but the band also found time to return to the Paramour mansion, where they launched songwriting sessions for another album. Released in early 2009, Metamorphosis found Papa Roach reprising their interpretation of metallic hard rock and reuniting with Infest producer Jay Baumgardner. Papa Roach parted ways with Interscope in 2010 and signed a deal with the independent Eleven Seven label. The band’s first album for Eleven Seven, Time for Annihilation, combined new cuts and live re-recordings of their hits and appeared in August of 2010. Also that year, they released the career-spanning collection The Best of Papa Roach: To Be Loved. In 2012, Papa Roach delivered their seventh studio album, The Connection. Featuring production from Sixx: A.M. frontman James Michael as well as Goldfinger’s John Feldmann, the album showcased a mix of the styles and sounds the band had touched on over the years, from rap to more straight-ahead hard rock, as well as incorporating a distinct electronic influence. The electronic element became even more pronounced on their next album, 2015’s F.E.A.R. (“Face Everything & Rise”), which boasted an even more radio-friendly, industrial-tinged pop-metal sound. After spending much of the following year in the studio, Papa Roach emerged in May 2017 with their ninth full-length album, Crooked Teeth. Produced by Nicholas “RAS” Furlong and Colin Brittain, the album included the singles “Crooked Teeth” and “Help.” ~ Heather Phares
