    LoveHateTragedy is a compendium of modern rock styles, glued together by Papa Roach's exuberance and Shaddix's outsized persona. [July 2002, p.119]

    Papa Roach were fairly distinctive two years back, but in a twist we've witnessed many times before, the band that helped beget so much of the rap-metal grudge rock we're now hearing resembles all its followers.

    It's hard to deny Papa Roach have a certain knack of crafting big, glossy, annoyingly catchy anthems for the Kerrang TV generation.

    In the moments when Shaddix's voice and lyrics don't detract from the band's remarkable bluster, Papa Roach soars.

'Decompression period', 'Life is a bullet', 'Black clouds' are powerful songs, 'She loves me not' won't get out of my head easily, 'M-80' makes me want to jump, scream, lets me feel the music inside me. Amazing album, but it seems that Papa Roach stopped to release albums as great as this one.… Full Review »

    Just a great album from a great band that has developed more and more throughout their career. This album isn't their best but contains real classics

    É um álbum bom de escutar, mas está bem abaixo do primeiro álbum, tira um pouco a essência de Nu Metal e apresenta um som mais Rapcore.

O álbum tem singles legais, até mesmo divertidos, mas não chega perto das músicas do álbum Infest.… Full Review »
