    Sure, some songs are better than others, but Ego Trip’s a rare thing: a 14-track album that features not a single duffer.

    Overall, ‘Ego Trip’ is proof that Papa Roach still have their finger on the beating pulse of heavy music.

    The energy levels let up only on the disappointingly crowd-pleasing ballad leave On. Vocalist Jacoby Shaddix's sweat-soaked urgency feels right for these times. [May 2022, p.86]

    This record comprises fourteen tracks, yet managed to be nothing more than a bad concoction of bad pop punk, bad rap rock, bad lyrics, and vaguely competent performances.

    Papa Roach's new album is new and simple music for the new generation as good as MGK so this album is better than the previous one which wasPapa Roach's new album is new and simple music for the new generation as good as MGK so this album is better than the previous one which was terrible. Calling the new album Ego Trip The album style is nu metal, rap rock, and alternative metal and Bring Me the Horizon and pop rock style. The writing of the album is pretty good and the sound is also pretty good. I think there are a lot of things to improve. (1) More metal songs There are 7 songs that are metal but all 14 are not metal songs they are all boring or there are acoustic moments or there are electronic moments or alternative rock songs. 14 songs for such an album is too much. The album feels like a rap album rather than a metal album where Last Resort or Between Angels and Insects Polluted were crazy 20 years ago. The album features a band called Fever 333 and they do a good job. The picture of the album is terrible. The album gets 72 out of 100 and there are a lot of things to fix unfortunately.… Expand

    A perfect album for THAT mood: loud, aggressive, fast.
    Maybe with a too much of hip-hop instead of singing.

    Though not without its merits and standout moments, particularly during a surprisingly tender second half that's much improved over the first,Though not without its merits and standout moments, particularly during a surprisingly tender second half that's much improved over the first, "Ego Trip" ultimately proves an exercise in frustration over its runtime due to its continual self-sabotage via frequently inane lyricism and hip-hop sounds that irritate more than innovate, resulting in a record that just sounds alright despite possessing the makings of greatness.
