Papa Roach‘s Jacoby Shaddix was recently interview by Rock 105.5 about the band’s new album. You can see what he had to say about the effort below.
“We like to say that the album itself, the full-length record, is like if ‘Infest‘, our first album, had sex with ‘Getting Away With Murder‘ and they had a child, this would be the record. Because with a track like ‘Help’, that song kind of harkens back to ‘Scars‘, but it’s a little bit more, I guess, uptempo and upbeat that ‘Scars‘ is, but just the juxtaposition of this… ‘Cause it’s in a major key, so it sounds kind of upbeat and happy, but the lyrics… It’s just a dark anthem, and I like that juxtaposition.
And we tapped into that on a track like ‘Scars‘ back in the day, and we were, like, ‘All right. Let’s see if we wrote something in a major key again.’ We’ve done that with songs like ‘Lifeline‘ in the past. And so, yeah, it’s got a little element of some old school with some new school. And I’m just excited for everybody to hear the record in its entirety, because it takes you on a ride. I’m rapping on more than half the record, and then there’s tracks that are just… It’s all over the place.”
