Well
what can I say, just another American rock rap combo. Well not quite,
Papa Roach come at you hard and fast. A band with attitude or is that
what they want us to believe?
First seen by most people on MTV with the first single 'Last Resort'. If
you liked that, then the rest of the album won't disappoint. Having said
that I would suggest you have a listen to it before you buy it, as that
was the most commercial of all the tracks off the album and may give a
false impression of what the rest of the album actually sounds like.
The obvious second release 'Broken Home' delivers more of the same hard
bass lines, heavy drums and catchy guitar riffs. This album made it into
the top 5 of the USA charts. Which shows that the American market is
coming out of it's shell and coming around to the more aggressive sound
that is around at the moment.
This album is definitely worth a listen if only to confirm whether you
love them or hate them. There's really no middle ground as far as this
band is concerned.
One last thing, the album cover is an absolute treasure with a huge
close-up of a Cockroach coming out at you. Just what you want to look at
after having a meal!
One of the best album covers I have come across over the years, simple
and yet very effective. This album deserves to win an award for best
album cover of the year if nothing else. Give them a try!
