Review - :
Within the context of its times, {^lovehatetragedy} is a gamble of sorts, as {$Papa Roach} abandons their affiliation with {\rock}/{\rap} fusion (except for one highly effective moment on {&"She Loves Me Not"}) and hies back to their original pure {\metal}- and {\punk}-inflected {\hard rock} stance. Lead singer {$Coby Dick} certifies the change by reverting to his birth name, {$Jacoby Shaddix}, but in other respects his performance sticks to its formula of gut-busting delivery and lyrics whose candor can get a little embarrassing. On {&"Decompression Period,"} for instance, he essentially tells his band as well as his beleaguered wife that he's sick of being around them, while {&"Decompression Period"} sounds even less optimistic about what lies ahead. A few tracks, most notably {&"Singular Indestructible Droid,"} struggle toward metaphor, with mixed results. What can't be denied is that {$Shaddix}'s woes connect directly to a large and equally confused audience, and that nobody this side of {$Kurt Cobain} communicates them with as much power. As always, his message rides a turbulent current of guitar/bass riffs whose militaristic precision only enhances their intensity. The loosest thing on the album is {&"Gouge Away,"} a concise jam on a {$Pixies} chestnut with an unguarded vocal coda that suggests {$Shaddix} may allow himself to enjoy a bright moment every now and then. [The UK edition appends the video for {&"She Loves Me Not"} to the end of the album.] ~ Robert L. Doerschuk, All Music Guide
