Album Review: Ego Trip by Papa Roach
Poor, Based on 2 Critics
Based on rating 1.5/5
blah blah blah blah blah haha sweat sweat sweat sweat Prior to Ego Trip's release, I hadn't heard any of its many teaser tracks. This is not a flex: it wasn't exactly hard to avoid new Papa Roach material. Call it prejudice, call it having listened to every goddamn record this garbage band has ever put out: I wasn't expecting this album to be anything close to good or interesting.
Opinion: Very Good
11 albums in, Papa Roach are showing no signs of slowing down. Rather than clinging to the past, 'Ego Trip' is a guided tour through the ever-shifting landscape of rock; from rapcore to anthemic pop-rock, Papa Roach are adapting their signature rap-metal charm and giving it a modern twist. This is an album full of life, eager to experiment with new sounds as much as possible.
