Editorial Reviews

2009 album from the California quartet. In a musical climate dominated by Electro and Synth, multi-platinum Grammy-nominated Papa Roach return to tear things up, unleashing a new album which conjures a vicious, vibrant intensity that is raw, relevant and ready to rock. Since bursting onto the scene in 2000, the band have toured the world and scored four top 10 US hits. Metamorphosis' first single 'Hollywood Whore' is a ferocious Rock track with a contagious and undeniable chorus. --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars There's something missing..., July 12, 2009

About 2 1/2 years later, P-Roach is back with yet another album. Putting aside the ridiculous cover at first glance and giving the new tunes a try, what kind of impression do they make...?

Hearing the first single "Hollywood Whore", I thought maybe Jacoby and crew had returned with some of the edge they had on earlier work like Infest, or maybe even Getting Away With Murder. Unfortunately, that's not the case. Just like many bands now days, The Roach has slipped into some "Mainstream" habits.

Now not to criticize the band or their music - which I still love, it's just not the music that I was expecting from a band that's always been on the edge of what they want to sound like. Sure songs like "Lifeline", "Had Enough" and "March Out of the Darkness" are great, it's just not where their style should have taken them. At least on Paramour Sessions they formed songs that had great melodies and still had a little rough edge, plus some diversity about them. Here on Metamorphosis, there's nothing catchy or unique about them. It's pretty generic rock. Is that bad? Not necessarily. It's just a simple-minded album with something missing: thought.

Still though, I enjoy this album. It's a good listen, and definitely worth picking up for those who enjoy this particular genre of rock. I just hope more thought goes into their next stuff. Otherwise, Papa Roach will be one of the many forgettable bands with forgettable music.

Metamorphosis wasn't as good as Infest, but few CDs can come close. It's still high quality and super-charged with lyrical excellence.

I saw them in concert in November and have been waiting for this CD ever since then. It is amazing. I love Papa Roach.
