Infest [Explicit]
Best Papa Roach Cd
Papa Roach really are posers. You can listen to their Potatoes For
Christmas release and hear that they really wanted to be in the rock genre.
However, they released Infest which was geared towards nu-metal fans.
Nu-metal was the big thing back in the late 1990's and early 2000's. Any
band could release a nu-metal album and it would sell almost a million
copies in less than a year. Papa Roach (along with other bands such as
Powerman 5000) wanted to cash in on this so they came out with Infest.
This album is fused with many elements such as rap, bass-heavy grooves,
and melodic choruses. It closely followed the nu-metal formula and didn't
stray. Pretty much every song on this album is purchase worthy. Sure,
they may sound like other bands (Limp Bizkit, Korn, Disturbed, etc.) but
that doesn't mean that this release is bad.
If I like this album so much, why do I hammer Papa Roach? Because
Papa Roach used the nu-metal craze to cash in and pull the bait and
switch technique. Their next album would be inferior to this as they would
take on their true sound: generic radio rock. I realize that nu-metal has
effectively died although many bands (Korn, Disturbed, Slipknot, System
Of A Down, Mudvayne, etc.) from that era are alive and kicking today.
Many of those bands have stuck to their roots after all these years.
So Papa Roach came out with this nu-metal album only to switch things on
their fans with lovehatetragedy, Getting Away With Murder, The Paramour
Sessions, and I am sure their yet-to-be released album will have the exact
same sound as The Paramour Sessions (their first two singles give that
impression). Papa Roach were just posing as a nu-metal band to get more
fans and sell more records. It was a shame too as Papa Roach could
have continued with their original sound and been one of the few nu-metal
bands that survived while staying within the genre.
Buy this album, it comes highly recommended especially if you were into
nu-metal back then. Newer Papa Roach fans normally don't like this as
they are turned away from the chugging riffs and raping. Any fan of nu-
metal should already have this release in their collection. Newer fans:
preview the songs first before you purchase the album.
