Papa Roach's major label debut in 2000 is still one of the best Nu Metal albums are ever made !!!! The former style of the band was very reminiscent Rage Against The Machine, with the difference that their texts mainly revolved around the personal problems of the singer Jacoby Shaddix, instead of putting political grievances openly. Is packaged in a round 1A Sound Gewandt where earwigs are guaranteed. Only its absolute Over-hit "Last Resort" justifies buying the plate, no wonder that the four boys through this song had their breakthroughs !!!! But there are at least a handful of other songs that this album into the top league of rap Metals catapulted, as the simple stunning "Broken Home", if you should not be convinced of the band to this song, it's one definitely after the absolutely brilliant song "Between Angels and Insects" !!!!! But the songs "Dead Cell", "Snakes" or "binge" is no need to hide from the first-mentioned !!!!!! The latter deals with the alcoholism of the singer Jacoby.
In order to assess:
01. Infest 8/10 02. Last Resort 12/10 03. Broken Home 10/10 04 Dead Cell 9/10 05. Between Angels and Insects 12/10 06. Blood Brothers 8/10 07. Revenge 8/10 08. Snakes 11/10 09. Never Enough 8/10 10. Binge 10/10 11. Thrown Away 9/10
Let's just say that Papa Roach, unlike other bands at this time, have also placed a high value on challenging texts and their songs are not only senseless Poser posturing, which at that time was indeed quite a trend in some bands. So from me strong buy recommendation for Papa Roach's Infest !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
