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.

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.

The guys of papa roach have been through good and bad, making still true to their grounds and peculiar sound, wich is something most of today's bands lack, that originality and deepness in their works, papa roach exceeds my expectations with this album, coming from all their downs and having said good bye to former drummer. The sound of this album is way much mature the moment you start hearing the cd, imo, this is good. Why? beacause it's not easy to loose on of your band mates and still come back filled with so many emotions and canalize them so perfectly through a melody filled with emotion, sadness, and you can hear it through Jacobin's voice, this band, with this album show now days mediocre bands, how music and rock is made through the sound of real musicians and the talent of all together. This album is a top influence in me, some songs can really get the best of you, and even shed a tear or to if listening with your heart exposed. Some of my favorites are Lifeline, had enough, Carry me,Change or die and into the light, but it doesn't mean the whole album rocks, because it does, and believe me, I will consume my I pods battery with this album a couple times and my car stereo with the cd in, for a while... Nothing short from deep and interesting!!!

brilliant new rock
Being old school, I do not like metal or heavy rock with few exceptions. I find most of it amateurish, dull, stupid and boring and cannot listen to it for long. Read more

Becoming A Cliche
Their last album 'The Paramour Sessions' failed to match up to their 2004 masterpiece 'Getting Away With Murder'. Unfortunately, Papa Roach's latest effort falls short as well. Read more

A Must Have
I've been following Papa Roach since "Getting Away With Murder" came out, and while that album blew me away, I was a little disappointed in "The Paramour Sessions". Read more
