The Roaches have transformed
Artist: Papa Roach
Title: I Almost Told You That I Loved You
Label: DGC/Interscope Records


Four-piece rockers, Papa Roach

What better way to describe the change in Papa Roach than by naming their new album Metamorphosis?

It's fair to say that since they propelled to widespread fame with Last Resort, the four-piece have grown and matured, and this change is reflected in their new single, I Almost Told You That I Loved You.

Opening with a strong, catchy guitar riff, it's a familiar sound yet unique in it's own way. The pounding guitar sits comfortably alongside Jacoby Shaddix's raw vocals.

The one downfall is that the radio edit cheats you out of one second - yes that really all I could find that was wrong with it.

Ultimately this single will work brilliantly in live sets - many US fans have already given their approval in a live setting.

An impressive follow up to Hollywood Whore and Lifeline, I Almost Told You That I Loved You puts Papa Roach firmly back on the map.
