Album Notes & Community Reviews

The self-released independent debut from Papa Roach is an incredibly raw, unpolished explosion of early rap metal and nu-metal. The album is aggressive and deeply anxious, leaning heavily into funk metal basslines and introspective, angry lyrics dealing with profound alienation.
