Title: Mainstream fratrock for morons
Review: ... I'll be honest, there are PLENTY of wretched Nu-metal MTV pandering "hard rock" groups drilling their way into the subconcious of Joe Average. I could not say with complete assurance that Papa Roach are the ABSOLUTE worst of this regretable genre, but I am sure they must be in the top ten. ...But trust me kids,there is nothing clever about these choruses and certainly nothing "Big and Fat" in the Papa Roach sound unless you sit them next to Bon Jovi or the first Led Zeppelin album for contrast.You take a diluted version of the already annoying poppy vocals found on any Pennywise album and put it front of ANY contemporary Nu-metal flavor of the week and presto! It's Lovehatetragedy and its contrived gropings for lyrical "heaviness".... This album is comprised entirely of toothles, slack-spined prom music and profoundly appropriate for the Pepsi Blue commercials it finds itself in. To quote Simon: Absolutely Dreadful.
