    This is the most disappointing album that papa roach has ever made. However, I've got mixed feelings on it because I can still feel a connection with the music. I just feel like they've partially sold out to commercialism.

    The Nu-metallers return for their eighth studio album as a band out of time and safely wading in shallow waters. There’s not a move we haven’t heard hundreds of times before as they revamp former glories without a hint of innovation or progression. One has to groan and wonder how anybody could be so naive as to buy into this in 2015?

    This could have been so much better Gravity with Maria Brink was the best on the album as Brink vocals are hauntingly beautiful though Warriors with Royce da 5'9" was bad due to its rap verse either don't bother with it or allow him a longer verse.

    F.E.A.R. is so overripe it's fermenting. [Mar 2015, p.91]

    For 2012's The Connection, the steroid-heavy production was somewhat tempered so emotional catharsis could propel the album, and the same holds true for new collection F.E.A.R. (Face Everything and Rise).

    Ultimately, it's just this kind of self-flagellating, dark-hued rock aesthetic that's worked for Papa Roach for well over a decade, and despite whatever passing styles or trends in pop music they've ignored in the process, it's a sound that seems to be working for them.
