Free Music Notes for Infest
Free Music Review: Awesome album.
Hit: 5 Stars
This actually isn't the first Papa Roach album, but it's the first one that was heard about. The disks songs are great and definetly worth buying. Here's what I think of the songs:1. Infest (3/5) - Not the best, but a decent introduction.
2. Last Resort (4/5) - Everyone knows this song. Its a great song, but I dont really think it's one the albums bests. If your one of those people who only buy singles of the popular song, or the get the full album but only listen to this song, your missing out on a lot, but its still a very good song.
3. Broken Home (5/5) - Awesome. This song really got me into Pap Roach after I got the CD. It's a harder CD that shows the groups hard rock elements.
4. Dead Cell (4/5) - Another hard song. One of the best on the cd.
5. Between Angels and Insects (3/5) - Another trendy song that sort of got over played. It isnt the best on the album, but listenable.
6. Blood Brothers (5/5) - Another one of there great songs. The guitar is awesome, and the lyrics mean something. This song is only on the explicit version tho, and "Legacy" is on the edited one, which is an awful song.
7. Revenge (3/5) - Uhh...ok song, I guess.
8. Snakes (2/5) - Probably the worst song on the album. It doesnt really have a good beat, and the lyrics suck. One flaw on the disc.
9. Never Enough (5/5) - The Best song on the cd. The song sticks in your head, and has really meaningful lyrics. Everything about this song is great.
10. Binge (5/5) - Another great song that sticks in your head.
11. Thrown Away (5/5) - And once again another very good hard rock song. It shows the bands heavy metal emotional side. Second best song of the CD.
12. Tightrope (5/5) - The CD's secret track at the end of 11. The end of this CD is really good, and this shows Papa Roach's more melodic sound.
Hope this helps u out! I actually am reviewing the cd one day before Lovehatetragedy comes out, and I hope its as good maybe even better than Infest.
Free Music Review: So far, it's the best CD of 2000!
Hit: 5 Stars
Before I start my review, I must say that I am not new to Papa Roach. Although I don't live on the West Coast, I have been listening to them for quite a while now, and they have been one of my favorite bands for a very long time. So when I gave Infest a first listen, I was very suprised to find a rather new Papa Roach, for better or for worse.The first thing I noticed was that it was clear they had used a new producer, and it didn't suprise me that it was Orgy's Jay Bumgardner. It was odd to hear a band that I was so used to making straight-out songs that could be duplicated in a live setting to be using so many overdubs, a DJ on two tracks, guest vocalists, guitar effects, and vocal effects. Now, this isn't necessarily bad, but definately different.
Thankfully, all of the tracks are great...so far, I have listened through the CD 3 full times without stopping, and I've loved every song. My least favorite so far is Never Enough, but I'm sure it will grow on me. My favorites are Infest, Between Angels and Insects, and Revenge. Suprisingly, only 4 tracks (not including the secret song) were old songs. I was dissapointed that they didn't put on Legacy, Barbed Wire, or My Bad Side, but that's alright. It was funny listeneing to songs like Revenge (formerly Revenge In Japanese on the 5 Tracks Deep EP) because I have heard the old version so many times, it really threw me off to hear new little nuances and slight tempo changes. Also, I love the song Tightrope, and I was shocked to find it on there as a secret song in the form of some laid-back, ganja smoking reaggae version. But it is still excellent.
All in all, this is a great CD, definately the best of 2000 so far. If I had never heard P-Roach before, I would probably be astounded by this release, but because I know they can do a little better, it didnt have quite as much appeal. But don't get me wrong, ... GO OUT AND BUY IT, YOU WON'T REGRET!
Free Music Review: Papa Roach Rocks Out...
Hit: 5 Stars
so called "nu-metal" and "rap-rock" acts have been getting a bad rap (no pun intended) since they became popular...granted, many of them are nothing special and are boring to listen to, but some stand head and shoulders above the others...papa roach, on this release, proves their potential as one of the better bands around today...INFEST is an album that hits hard...Jerry Hortons guitar is one of the first things that amazes me about this album...on tracks like "Blood Brothers" and "Revenge" he puts sick hooks in to go with Coby Dick's rapping...very few bands are capable of meshing well-written raps and loud, aggro guitar riffs, but Papa Roach pulls it off flawlessly...Coby's voice goes from a rap to a throaty scream on a dime, and is full of raw emotion..."Dead Cell" demonstrates some of his better screaming (hehe)...
the lyrics on this album are some of the better written amongst bands today, who claim they are angry at the world..."Broken Home" is far and away the best song written about divorce, though its more aimed at the father than the pain a child feels in the divorce...its a powerful song..."Last Resort", that well-known radio single, is of course about suicide, but the lyrics really make you feel desperation...each song is written to deal w/an emotion or event and makes you feel like you yourself experienced it; the sign of a good lyricist
i cant leave out the great rhythm section, which makes Papa Roach loud and in your face right from the opening track...they play behind and in front of Hortons guitar all at once, backing him up, and yet making his riffs more aggressive by accenting them...add the rapping/screaming on top, and you have one hell of an aggro sound
anyways, check this album out, its one of the few great "rapcore" albums out there, and is a perfect mix of rapped lyrics and guitar...peace
Free Music Review: Rock at its most addicting
Hit: 5 Stars
The first time I heard Last Resort, I knew I had to go out and buy this CD. The first time I saw the video, I knew that I had to see it again because Coby Dick was so fine! But really, this album is probably the CD that got me interested in rock. Every song on the CD appeals to me on one level or another, all in different ways. Infest-4/5 No real meaning to me, but very good song. Lets you know what to expect with the rest of the CD.
Last Resort-4/5 Song about despair and not a little rage, yet still manages to become a catchy radio hit....hmmm...curious.
Broken Home-5/5 Awesome song with a lot of meaning for a lot of people.
Dead Cell-3/5 This song wasn't my favorite on the album, but did have a really good urban feel.
Between Angels & Insects-4/5 Very accurate description of many people in the world today.
Blood Brothers-5/5 Great guitar intro. My favorite song to listen to when I'm really [mad].
Revenge-5/5 Very [messed] up song, but still very appealing to the ears. I love Coby's voice in this song, actually.
Snakes-2/5 Again, not one of my fave songs. I tend to skip past this song, but I don't have the heart to give it only 1/5.
Never Enough-4/5 Catchy lyrics, great beat. One you will find yourself singing subconsciously.
Binge-5/5 Possibly my favorite song on the album. It tells about someone who's realized they have an alcohol problem and that it's messed up their life really bad. I love to sing this one.
Thrown Away-3/5 Loud and rough, but still pretty good.
Tightrope-5/5 Coby's voice in this song is incredible, so beautiful.
If you have any rock blood cells in you at all, you should get this CD, you won't regret it.
Free Music Review: Papa Roach 5 Stars
I am one of the many real Papa Roach fans, by that i mean, i like all their music and ive been lucky enough to see them in concert, they were amazing and the concert featured songs from their first major album Infest and their second album Lovehatetragedy. Both albums are amazing! Both are worth getting, however they are both different. The first album contains more rap..which is great, (e.g Revenge, Snakes) and the hidden track after Thrown Away called Tight rope is amazing! At first i didn't recognize who it was by, because Coby sounds so different, the song sounds more melodic and its different to Papa Roaches usual style.I wont go through every single song on both albums, but Infest and Lovehatetragedy are 2 of the best albums i have. Here are some of my favourite songs on both albums:Infest:
Infest-great opening to the album
Last Resort-their first single? An amazing song
Broken home-one of the best on the album
Between Angels & Insects-this song was sensational in concert
Blood Brothers-love the whole song
Lovehatetragedy:
Time and TIme again-so catchy!
Walking thru barbed wire-one of the best songs on the album
Decompression period-a depressing song that means alot
She loves me not-a funky tune lol with a cool rap part
Black Clouds-great again
Bonus tracks gouge away and never said it are great!!!
(Someone called josh said that he can't believe kids actually like papa roach and give it 5 stars, well maybe he should try spelling first :p nothin personal but p-roach rock, sorry if u can't handle the album-you should leave the real paparoach fans to rate it!) P.s PAPAROACH AREN POISON :P THEY RULE AND CAN ACTUALLY SING.
