Papa Roach - Lovehatetragedy
The second release from Papa Roach finds the Northern California alt-metal group mining the same aggressive sound that pushed its debut album to triple platinum. On “She Loves Me Not,” frontman Coby Dick, who now goes his given name of Jacoby Shaddix, adds his angry rap vocals to the group’s hard-rock crunch. When he screams the song’s whiny refrain, “life’s not fair,” he sounds at risk of bursting a blood vessel. So it’s probably a good thing P-Roach has joined Eminem on this year’s Anger Management Tour.
