Is it good? Well, if you're not into this stuff, this won't change your mind, but the band does work up some energy, sounds pretty muscular on most of the album, and has some good hooks, even if they tend to overplay their hand by throwing too many hooks into the riffs or screaming just a bit to much.

The band's roiling rhythms, barbed riffs and kick-drum-splitting beats take rap rock back to its roots in New York hardcore punk and D.C. Dischord bands like Fugazi.

Papa Roach wanna rock us like they're a bad hair day away from going postal. But singer Coby Dick sounds more like a high school freshman hitting his locker 'cause he just got cut from the JV track squad.

THE NU METAL CHALLENGE PART 6/25
We were this close to getting out of the red. THIS CLOSE.
Unfortunately, Papa Roach does not end our streak of shitty albums that we are forced to cover in this series. And the only reason this really fails to stick the landing is because of what I'm now calling the "Limp Bizkit" effect. Basically, this entails that a band has bangers for instrumentals and has the potential to make great songs, but the one thing stopping them is their lead singer ... read more

only infestation here is the raging pus filled hemorrhoids this album gave me upon listening
