PAPA ROACH
metamorphosis
While the nu metal scene and its accompanying quiet-loud and urbanized sound is mostly a thing of the past, and perhaps often sheepishly remembered as an unfortunate period for the metal and hard rock genres, California's Papa Roach have successfully weathered that storm, surviving the backlash that was levied against the genre. They've stayed together and continue to put out records that radio wants to play, thanks to hooky licks and singable choruses which continue to define their catalog of tunes. The obvious next question is what's the secret to the band’s longevity? Why did Papa Roach make it out alive after the rap-rock meltdown? For starters, the band was never really a rap-rock act and was often erroneously classified as such. To the band's credit, their crunchy, hard rock anthems were devised with a melodic punch and crunch, and an aggression that was mutually complementary. That skill has never dulled or been blunted and hence, the Roaches have a career—and an enviable one at that. It’s what propelled them to fifth longplayer. Metamorphosis tosses glammy tunes ("Hollywood Whore") into the mix with the ragers, like the catchier-than-an-STD "Lifeline” or “Had Enough,” both of which spill into your car speakers or your iPod earbuds with an urgency that can shake the earth. There’s a whole lotta riffing going on, and it’s the kind that attracts strippers, moshpit dwellers and those of you who like a simple, quality groove. Singer Jacoby Shaddix screams and grunts and wields his voice like a dangerous, maniacal weapon, but he also knows how to effectively carry a tune, which lifts the album above mookishly angry, aggro rock status. This is the band's most polished and glam rock-tinged (and we do mean tinged, as this platter isn't a parody of its influences) moment to date and the songs carve a place for themselves in your brain. It's quality songwriting that keeps a band in business and that's why Papa Roach won't die off anytime so keep your heads up my friends!

LYRICS
When I was a boyI didn't care about a thing
It was me and this world
And a broken dream
I was blaming myself
For all that was going wrong (going wrong)
I was way out thereOn the wrong side of town
And the one's that I lovedI started pushing them out
Then I realized
That it was all my fault
I've been looking for a lifeline
For what seems like a lifetime
I'm drowning in the pain
Breaking down againLooking for a lifeline
So I put out my hand
And I asked for some help
We tore down the walls
I built around myself
I was struck by the light
And I fell to the ground
I've been looking for a lifeline
For what seems like a lifetime
I'm drowning in the pain
Breaking down again
Looking for a lifeline
Is there anybody out there
Can you pull me from this ocean of despair
I'm drowning in the pain
Breaking down again
Looking for a lifeline
You know a heart of gold
Won't take you all the way
And in a world so cold
It's hard to keep the faith
I'm never gonna fade away
I've been looking for a lifeline
For what seems like a lifetime
I'm drowning in the pain
Breaking down again
Looking for a lifeline
Is there anybody out there
Can you pull me from this ocean of despair
I'm drowning in the pain
Breaking down againLooking for a lifeline
