Matures over time.

What was that but then a disappointment when I heard pure (at the time still a great Papa Roach fan) for the first time in "Lovehatetragedy", noting that it was not a copy of "Infest". Starting with the tinny production, then the throttled speed, less rapeseed for more singing, less critical of society but rather designed to heartbreak lyrics and mostly missing hardness of its predecessor. Everything had a thought that would have brought a mediocre album, the former hero. But these ideas proved to be wrong, because over time I realized that the development of the Papa Roach started here not only very good but also really and was important. The band had the signs of the times, that of Nu Metal was dying recognized, which is why you steered into rockier realms and recorded elements of punk. A development for alternative was to recognize here already. However act Papa Roach at a significantly higher level than on the albums that should they put out later. "Lovehatetragedy" may indeed generally stop a low status among fans, but that's the unjustified can be seen after repeated listen. Then you realize that right fits into the band Rockgefilde and finds songs that are certainly among their best.

"M-80 (Explosive Energy Movement)" is at once the fetzende and surprisingly punky opener, instead of critical Lyrics has the lifestyle of rock n 'roll on. Radical but also better one can not be introduced in the new style of the band. 5/5

"Life Is a Bullet": a perfect example of the slow pace that the band was more important. After repeated listening, however, the first appearing boring number developed such a catchy tune that you can no longer get enough of it. Especially the chorus and the peaceful central part become lodged in the ear and can not let go. 5/5

"Time and Time Again" also ignites after a few passages, but if then right! In retrospect, a good choice as a second single. 5/5

"Walking Thru Barbed Wire" will start with a very catchy, rousing riff but can not keep on running time, the high level. 4/5

"Decompression Period" is a very beautiful ballad-like constructed rock song and is about relationship problems, the band impressively demonstrate is that she also has those songs on it. 5/5

"Born With Nothing, Die With Everything" really consists With me, still not in the ear firmly, although the song does have good facilities. 3/5

"She Loves Me Not" is, of course, been an absolute Riffhammer and not for nothing that the first single. Again, it is wise to listen to the piece more often, because then it ignites correctly :). 5/5

"Singular Indestructible Droid" is then one of the hardest riff monster the Papa Roach have ever written. First, the atmosphere is increased until the band breaks out properly and durchbrettert an ingenious song between dark atmosphere and heavy riffs with a crescendo. 5/5

"Black Clouds" is more a song of slow and depressive variety that breaks really but in the chorus that it simply drags a. 5/5

"Code of Energy" is one of the fastest and toughest but also the most diverse of the songs on the album, not least when he quite melancholy fades towards the end because of the rebellious text übelst rocks. 5/5

"Lovehatetragedy" starts winking with a typical love song melody and white until the chorus also convincing, but unfortunately the band sets the chorus totally in the sand, so that the song just average fails. 3/5

"Gouge Away" (Bonus Track): a Pixies cover what the band very well converts. Even if it of course does not fit the rest of the album, the number still rocking. 5/5

"Never Said It" (Bonus Track): Only one bonus track? The song rocks so awesome with the heavy riffs and excellent singing, one wonders why was not immediately packed between the other and is not included in some versions. 5/5

Ultimately, "Lovehatetragedy" a worthy successor to the great "Infest". Not always reached Papa Roach here high level but most of the time. With the bonus tracks, the album is even on the border at an unbeatable, but so completely it is not enough but then, so "only" 4 stars. But they are more than deserved. In my eyes this is a really strong Papa Roach album before somewhere else led the change again. You just have to listen to the disc, then it also ignites. Buy recommendation!
