Here are some customer reviews of
Lovehatetragedy
: I really enjoyed Papa Roach's debut, "Infest", so I was excited to hear about this one. This one's even better than the first one. It's more mature, and more experimental. They've proven they're much more than "just another rap metal band" (but they always were). It's cool how they use piano and strings in some parts. It really works. Better guitar too, which is also good. Also, there is less rapping this time around. I don't mind rapping, but I could do without it. Anyway, this is a really good CD. The new Jerry Cantrell is good too.
 I was one of the first out of all my friends to recieve Lovehatetradegy through the post. U could understand how happy i was, being a BIG fan of their 1st album and going to there uk concert i couldnt wait to load up the nu album on my hifi.Little did i know what i was getting myself into.It didnt liv up 2 my expectations and i was quite disapointed with the overall album. Its defenately not as good as "Infest" but there were som good tracks such as "life is a bullet" and "Born with nothing, die with everything" but not enough of it. I listened to it a few times over, hoping it was one of those albums that u'd grow to like afta a few listens but it just didnt happen. On the PLUS Coby has grown as a lead singer and dropped as a rapper which i think works quite weL. Too bland and weak. Not worth buying but just for pure respect for the 1st album i will buy there 3rd album coming out in march 2004.
 If you heard Papa roach's last effort Infest, then you should know what to expect, no surprises here.
Songs are well written and the guitar riffs are a little more complex than the last album.
Dark themes make up most of this album, depression, dysfuncion,
love, hate and of course tragedy.
all of us have already heard "she loves me not", but there are plenty of other good songs on here as well.
Decompression period, time and time again, and born with everything die with nothing, are in my opinion the best songs on here.
If you like the last album you will definitely like this, if you havent heard the last cd, buy it first then give this one a try.
Not for everybody, very dark and powerful material.
the reason i gave it 4 stars is because of the lack of originality, the industry is overloaded with half assed clones of
the same hard rock(nu-metal) mold, and even though they pull that sound off they still fall in with the other guys.
I have high hopes for this band though, i think they will be able to be great later on down the road.
a good album and definitely worth buying.
Prior to the release of Lovehatetragedy (all one word), lead vocalist Jacoby Shaddix was quoted saying "we're being a little more creative and leaving the listener a little more room for their interpretation of what the song is about". If Papa Roach are good at one thing, it's keeping their promises: Lovehatetragedy sounds like Papa Roach all right, but with a few distinct differences to their major label debut, Infest (2000).
The first thing you'll probably notice is that Jacoby (a.k.a. Coby Dick) does very little rapping this time around. The only rhyme on the entire record is the bridge to the single She Loves Me Not. Otherwise, Lovehatetragedy is pure, adrenaline driven hard rock. The signature P. Roach riffs are all still here (most notable on Born With Nothing, Die With Everything), and so are the energetic shouts and rantings of the roach boy frontman: "I'm ready to die for rock n' roll!" he shouts in the first track, M-80. But listen to the next few songs and you'll notice this is a record far different from Infest, or any of thier indie albums. The group is now ready to put their rapping days behind them and focus more on traditional hard rock songwriting, and addictingly catchy choruses. That's not to say that Papa Roach aren't experimenting with new sounds, however. The song Singular Indestructible Droid begins with tribal drum beats and primal-sounding chanting, leading into an intro bassline, further giving way to an undeniably hooky guitar riff and passionate vocals by none other than Jacoby himself. It's that kind of creative songwriting that makes LHT as compelling as Infest, but in a much more profound way. Rap-metal fans, expecting a flat out continuation of Infest will likely be disappointed(as I was at first). But, listen with an open mind and you'll find it difficult just to press stop.
if your lookin for a good cd and ausome beats buy lovehatetragedy today
