Papa Roach....YES

Papa Roach formed in 1993. They struggled for a few years before finally a few year later when heavy metal reached it peak once again. Their first album "Infest" had bunch of real cool songs  like the hit we all know and love;  "Last resort". The band had a sound that not many had heard but was often compared to Korn. Though personally I think Korn is no match for the Almighty Papa Roach.
Papa Roach's new album stick to their trademarks while also trying to feel out the new concepts in heavy metal music nowadays. The interesting thing this time was the fact that the band went into the studio with, according to Jerry Horton "having nothing". It seems That is worked for them since the songs had such a great impact and spoke to their audience. While no album can be as good as the first, the album F.E.A.R dared to change that norm.


The first single release of the F.E.A.R album was called "Broken as me". The mighty riff that begins the song is immediately correlated with Papa Roach's killer riffs that make their songs so catchy and freaking awesome. This can also be said for the way the track is build, it just sounds like a Papa Roach track. Another clear tell is the melodic chorus, it plays as an essential part of the songs, as well as Jacoby Shaddix screams in the bridge, for those of you who aren't into heavy metal who should probably just stop reading now.


Though we didn't think it was possible, Papa Roach find a way to make thing eve more melodic on beats like the catchy  "Love me till it hurts" and "Warriors". My favorite part of this album was the tracks that started with some electronica that comes back throughout the entire song. There is Horton's heavy riffs integrated in the song too which only further its level of awesomeness in my book 


I have to say, the keyboards are definitely making a come back in the more popular songs. The opener "Face everything and rise" is a good example of this. But Papa Roach manages to always keep the song rocking without drifting away into the fields of pop like most bands nowadays. This is one of my favorite album's and it just always lifts me up and gives me the strength to believe in myself and I want it to do the same for you guys. So if you haven't checked out this killer album, go now!
