Papa Roach - Getting Away With Murder |
|
Papa Roach have returned... and what have they done? Grown their hair, learnt how to use a delay pedal and made a terrible rock cliché promo video. Not much, then. When Papa Roach where in their prime, nu-metal was cool: people boasted about having a Limp Bizkit cd in their collection and wore a chain connecting their wallet to a belt loop, for no real reason. Then, Papa Roach released their second album with the worst artwork ever - a picture of a baby doing the 'metal salute' \m/.... yeah.... cool! Listening to their current single is as embarrasing as your Dad fitting "Fo shizzle" into his everyday vocabulary, it's annoying and severely embarrassing. What's even worse are that Papa Roach get huge coverage and money to do this.
This song is clearly a way to get some more ca$h - it's just so easy to tell, lyrically it's crap, musically it's crap. The 'solo' is just the same as the intro but a little faster and about 4 different notes and after they add the chorus on again at the end of the song - even though they just played it.
The video for this song is set in the New York stock market with the members wearing security tags saying various things like "4OIL" or "NRON" and the board at the back showing all the stock movement has stock companies named like "EVIL" and so on... but then again, they did manage to somehow fit some lesbian action in somewhere, which is surely worth a small round of applause.
