Papa Roach released a new album March 31, 2009 called Metamorphosis. The album features infectious songs like: “Hollywood Whore”, “I Almost” and “Carry Me”; which are the band’s most memorable songs on their new album, Metamorphosis. “Hollywood Whore” is by far the best upbeat, ear catching song on the album. It instantly caught my attention, with catchy lyrics, driving guitar riffs, front lined by memorable melodic vocals that will stay in your head long after the songs over! This album differs from their last, digging a little deeper then you would expect. Their last album was a little more fun and edgy while Metamorphosis is more passionate and digs a little deeper then any previous Papa Roach album ever released.
You can tell they were very passionate when writing the songs and putting the album together. Metamorphosis is a intimate rock album that so perfectly captures that light at the end of a tunnel; with song verses like, “the hardest one’s to love, are the one’s that need it most” and “It takes horns to hold up my halo and strength to get me through the fight”. The lyrics instantly capture your attention and draws you in. The album sound and lyrics are consistent through out the entire album. Metamorphosis offers a glance into their vision, but it’s their song “Carry Me” that truly exhibits the energy and passion that is Papa Roach.
“Carry Me” responds through dynamic choruses, booming verses and unflinching consistency and delivery. Metamorphosis is sought to dig a little deeper than most, without succumbing to the conventionally stale implementation of shock tactics to convey their point. Jacoby Shaddix consistently turns in a better than average performance on vocals and takes the throne as the lead singer of Papa Roach. He can yell when need be, sing soft vocals on the melodic songs and his sound just perfectly blends in with the sound of the band. The lineup includes, Jacoby Shaddix singing away on vocals, Tony Palermo beating the shit out of the drums, Jerry Horton going to town on guitar and Tobin Esperance rocking out bass.
Metamorphosis offers scorching melodies that drive throughout their energy filled songs! Papa Roach is a band that slices, dices and entices! Their new album, Metamorphosis manages to successfully fuse alternative rock and modern rock and a passion that can’t be taught, to bring something new and fresh to the table. This album is truly a piece of art and worth picking up, if you haven’t yet heard it.For more on Papa roach be sure to check out:
