I understand why some people don’t like Papa Roach, I really do. They believe that they are “the reason that rock and metal are in the shitter because they’ve made their way onto every stupid teen girl’s wall”, well even if it is true (which I know it’s not) I still don’t fucking believe it and I will like whatever music I please and goddammit I liked “F.E.A.R.”. Now the acronym is for the first track “Face Everything And Rise” so if you’re wondering why the cover doesn’t match the album title that’s why. This was a very solid alternative rock album in every respect with its rhythm and just overall sound that it has for its entirety that I imagine anyone who can listen to just about anything can find many things to enjoy of out of this album. Everything is solid but it doesn’t really seem like anything super new for Papa Roach as a band. Maybe I need to listen to them more and I’m missing something. I’ve no idea. My only lament, though, is that I kind of wished that the vocalist screamed just a little bit more. But that’s just me. Overall, however, solid album. Definitely a good addition for Papa Roach.
