Every Papa Roach Album Ranked

We list all the nu metal titans' albums from worst to best.

For people on the outside looking in, Papa Roach could be perceived as a one hit wonder, however this is far from the truth. The nu metal superstars from the turn of the century may have fallen away from mainstream radio airplay in recent years, but they have continued to produce a number of records under the radar. With Papa Roach's breakthrough record 'Infest' turning 20 years old this year, it seems fitting to analyse and rank all of their albums to date, from worst to best.

Papa Roach Return To Their Roots With Their New Album 'Crooked Teeth'

By Holly Williams in Music / Festivals on 25 March 2017

Papa Roach

'Crooked Teeth' is the brand new album from alternative rock band Papa Roach.

Papa Roach are preparing to release their ninth studio album 'Crooked Teeth' this Spring, as they also gear up to embark on a series of tour dates next month. They have already dropped two singles from the record: the title track and US Mainstream Rock chart hit 'Help'.

Papa Roach return with their ninth album 'Crooked Teeth'

Recorded in North Hollywood and produced for the most part by Nicholas 'RAS' Furlong and Colin Brittain, 'Crooked Teeth' follows the California rockers' 2015 album 'F.E.A.R.' which reached the top 20 in both the US and the UK. It's also something of a return to their original sound. 'The first time we met up with RAS and Colin, they said that 'Infest' was on constant rotation when they were growing up and they wanted to bring back some of that fire', says frontman Jacoby Shaddix.

Papa Roach - F.E.A.R Album Review

By Sophie Brannon in Music Reviews on 27 January 2015

With their eighth consecutive album 'F.E.A.R (Face Everything and Rise)' ready to drop, Papa Roach are back with a vengeance with some new modern/heavy rock influenced tracks for us to sink our teeth into.

Usually, at the very mention of the name 'Papa Roach', a chorus of "cut my life into pieces, this is my last resort" would echo round, but this new album is a step forward for the Californian rockers and, with an amalgamation of musical influences, it's quite easy to see just how much this band has developed.

With the slow rap that Papa Roach started their careers with almost faded out completely (with it only being featured in 'Gravity' and in a verse of 'Warriors'), Roach have created a record that states one thing: We're ready for the arenas.

Leeds Festival 2014 - Live Review

By Alister Roberts in Music Reviews on 28 August 2014

It came, It went, It conquered as per. Leeds Festival 2014 was a real pinnacle for this year's UK live music, cramming it's masses into the colossus fields of Bramham Park, this year's Leeds Festival was a true menace of a machine. From strolling the sights and stalls of the relatively tame arena, to hiking through the foothills of Red camp and afar, the beast of Leeds Festival was out in full glamour this year. Not only for the sheer size and scale of the glorified playground, nor for the big bad names it captured upon its stages, but purely the immense and sometimes overwhelming atmosphere of Leeds Festival is what attracts the crowds in their droves - (Each and EVERY year).

This year's line-up, though transparent in parts, boasted an array of big names and must sees. From Gerrard Way's premier solo show, right the way through to Macklemore's fur coat - teenage girl-screaming onstage antics. All considered, It is fair to say Leeds festival caters to the masses, though in doing so, often leaving the fringes of those masses at somewhat of a loose-end. Fear no-more, as this year with 10 arena stages and a dozen campsite venues, attendants waved farewell to mud-mooching moments of waiting around and embarked on the northern event of the year. With Oxfam blazers, slush puppy pleasantries and a number of near 24-hour rave spots all been thrown around, It was hard to find even a moment for the annual carbon monoxide poisoning - plastic bag burning ritual around the camp fire.

Without further ado, we present to you this year's top live sets and why they really made this year what it was.

Papa Roach Singer Almost Committed Suicide

By Steven Williams in Lifestyle / Showbiz on 24 September 2012

Papa Roach

Papa Roach's singer, Jacoby Shaddix, revealed that he was ready to commit suicide when he thought about his family, and decided to keep living.

Jacoby Shaddix, the vocalist of Papa Roach, revealed that he came very close to committing suicide before the release of her new album. The 36-year-old singer spent almost a decade fighting alcoholism and facing a deteriorating relationship with his wife Kelly, but has now decided to take on his demons.

In an interview with 'Metal Hammer' magazine, Shaddix explained: ''I went to Sausalito [California] to hang myself. I was in a f***ing place, man. The booze, my lifestyle, this woman I'd been with since I was 16. I've never been that f***ing broken. I was seriously going to finish it.'' He revealed, however, that while sitting in a hotel room contemplating ''that last conversation with your family on the phone''. It was this, he admitted, that caused a change of heart.
