Product Reviews
Parting ways from Geffen -- the label responded with a hits compilation the group did not endorse -- Papa Roach released Time for Annihilation, a hodge-podge of five new cuts and a nine live versions of Roach staples. It was a way of clearing the decks and getting back to basics after the Sunset Strip sleaze makeover of 2009 s Metamorphosis, a sound Papa Roach now ditches in favor of their alt-metal roots. Since they re deliberate throwbacks the newer tracks fit neatly with the live cuts, which retain their fidelity to the originals despite being pumped up and beefier than on record. It s a macho, muscular attack that fits the braggadocio of the title. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi
Product Notes
2010 release, a unique hybrid listening experience which consists of a mix of five new studio and nine live tracks. The band has enlisted veteran hit-maker David Bendeth to produce the new tracks and meld them seamlessly into live versions of the biggest hits and fan favorites. Papa Roach wage war every time they pick up their instruments. It's a war for musical integrity. It's a war for their fans. It's a war for rock 'n' roll.
