Il debutto su major dei Papa Roach è quello che i lavori dei Linkin Park non sono: trascendentale, colto, schietto, violento/rappettaro senza essere ruffiano. Certo le fonti di ispirazione si sprecano (Faith No More, Rage Against The Machine, Nirvana, Fugazi), ma lo Scarrafone di Vacaville lo rielabora in maniera originale e lo adatta al proprio stato d'animo: a dimostrarcelo sono specialmente i riff ritmici/granitici di Jerry Horton e i temi affrontati da un Jacoby Shaddix che se la cava molto bene sia nel rapping che nel cantato melodico.
"Between Angels And Insects" è praticamente la carta d'identità dei Roach, ma ottimi sono anche gli altri due singoli (il postgrunge di "Broken Home" e la punk/funk-eggiante "Last Resort"), "Revenge" e "Snakes" con le loro simpatiche parentesi screcciate, "Thrown Away" e la title track. Mi dispiace però che i due album successivi di Shaddix e soci, per quanto di buona fattura, non pareggino "Infest" in carica emotiva...

01 Infest (04:09)
Welcome to the original Papa Roach soundfire
My name's Coby Dick
Mr. Dick if you're nasty
Rock a mic with a voice that's raspy
'Cause I'm poetic in my operations
My God given talent is to rock all nations
Infest, the theory of my first manifesto
Push your wig back with my lyrical pistol
Blow now Papa Roach is on your mental
Banging like your head piece it's just that simple
Cock back and unleash with my physical
Wrap you in my thoughts and become invisible
Centrifugal, forces individuals into my mind as we rock into ritual
You better do just what I say
And if you don't then you will pay
Infest!
We're going to infest
We're getting in your head
What is wrong with the world today?
The government the media or your family
Now that I got your attention
Did I forget to mention
All the brains we be infesting
Hope y'all people learn your lessons
Cause the game of life is crazy
Got all the people guessin'
What is wrong with the world today
The goverment, media, or your family
Would you cry if I did today
I think it be better if you did not say
First they shackle your feet
Then they stand you in a line
Then they beat you like meat
Then they grab you by your mind
We will infest
Die like the rest
People are the problem today.
02 Last Resort (03:19)
Cut my life into pieces
This is my last resort
Suffocation
No breathing
Don't give a fuck if I cut my arm, bleeding
This is my last resort
Cut my life into pieces
I've reached my last resort
Suffocation
No breathing
Don't give a fuck if I cut my arm, bleeding
Do you even care if I die bleeding?
would it be wrong
would it be right
If I took my life tonight
Chances are that I might
Mutilation out of sight
And I'm contemplating suicide!
Cause I'm losing my sight
Losing my mind
Wish somebody would tell me I'm fine
Losing my sight
Losing my mind
Wish somebody would tell me I'm fine
I never realized I was spread too thin
'Till it was too late
And I was empty within
Hungry!
Feeding on chaos and living in sin
downward spiral
Where do I begin!
It all started when I lost my mother
No love for myself
And no love from another
Searching!
To find a lover on a higher level
Finding nothing but questions and devils
Cause I'm losing my sight
Losing my mind
Wish somebody would tell me I'm fine
Losing my sight
Losing my mind
Wish somebody would tell me I'm fine
Nothing is alright
Nothing is fine
I'm running,and I'm cryin'
I'm cryin', I'm cryin', I'm cryin, I'm cryin'
I can't go on living this way
Cut my life into pieces
this is my last resort
Suffocation, no breathing,
Don't give a fuck if I cut my arms bleeding
Would it be wrong, would it be right
If I took my life tonight, chances are that I might
Mutilation out of sight and I'm contemplating suicide
Cause I'm losing my sight, losing my mind
Wish somebody would tell me I'm fine
losing my sight losing my mind
wish somebody would tell me I'm fine
Nothing is alright, nothing is fine
I'm running and I'm crying
I can't go on living this way
can't go on, living this way
nothing's all right.
03 Broken Home (03:42)
Broken Home
All alone
Broken Home
All Alone
I can't seem to fight these feelings
I'm caught in the middle of this
My wounds are not healing
I'm stuck in between my parents
I wish i had someone to talk to
Someone I could confide in
I just want to know the truth
I just want to know the truth
Want to know the truth
Broken home
All alone
I know my mother loves me
But does my father even care
If I'm sad or angry
You were never ever there
When I needed you
I hope you regret what you did
I think I know the truth
Your father did the same to you
Did the same to you
I'm crying day and night now
What is wrong with me
I cannot fight now
I feel like a weak link
Push it back inside
A weak link
It feels bad to be alone
Crying by yourself
Living in a broken home
How could i tell it
So all you could feel it
Depression strikes hard
Just like my old earth would tell it
To me , her son
She told me I'm the one
Pain bottled up
Bout to blow like a gun
Stories that I tell are nonfiction
And you can take it back cuz it's already done
BROKEN HOME! BROKEN HOME!
Can't seem to fight these feelings
Caught in the middle of this
My wounds are not healing
Stuck in between my parents
BROKEN HOME! BROKEN HOME!
04 Dead Cell (03:06)
Born with no soul, lack of control
Cut from the mold of the anti-social
Plug em in and then turn 'em on
Process the data, make yourself da bomb
What is your target?
What is your reason?
Do you have emotions?
Is your heart freezing?
Seizin, this opportunity to speak
You didn't say nuthin but turn your fuckin' cheek
Dead Cell! Dead Cell!
Sick in the head
Living but dead
Hear what I said
Learn a lesson from the almighty dread
Jah, nutty warrior, nothin's scarier
Kids are gettin sick like malaria
Situation gets hairier
I'm throwing up all types of barriers
I'm tellin you
The kids are getting singled out
Let me hear the Dead Cell shout
Dead Cell! Dead Cell!
Born with no soul, lack of control
Cut from the mold of the anti-social
Plug em in and then turn them on
Process the data make yourself tha bomb
No soul, no control
Cut from the mold of the anti-social
Plug em in and then turn them on
Process the data make yourself tha bomb
Stop pointing fingers cause we all are guilty
Of clean cut lies and the truth that's filthy
Believe what is the root of the word
Out comes lie when it's cut into thirds
I don't believe what my eyes behold, No!
I don't believe what my ears are told, No!
Seizin, this opportunity to speak
I'm saying something don't turn your fuckin' cheek!
Dead Cell! Dead Cell!
Born with no soul
Lack of control
Cut from the mold of the anti-social
Plug them in and then turn 'em on
Process the data make yourself tha bomb
No soul, No control
Cut from the mold of the anti-social
Plug them in and then turn 'em on
Process the data make yourself da bomb
Dead
Cell
Dead
Cell!
Dead Cell! Dead Cell!
05 Between Angels and Insects (03:54)
There's no money
There's no possessions
Only obsession
I don't need that shit
Take my money, take my obsession
I just wanna be heard
Loud and clear are my words
Comin' from within' man
Tell 'em what you heard
It's about a revolution
In your heart and in your mind
You can't find the conclusion
Lifestyle and obsession
Diamond rings get you nothin'
But a lifelong lesson
And you're pocket book stressin'
You're a slave to the system
Workin' jobs that you hate
For that shit you don't need
It's too bad the world is based on greed
Step back and see
Stop thinkin' 'bout yourself
Start thinkin' 'bout
There's no money
There's no possession
Only obsession
I don't need that shit
Take my money, take my possession
Take my obsession, I don't need that...
'Cos everything is nothing
And emptiness is in everything
This reality is really just a fucked-up dream
With the flesh and the blood that you call your soul
Flip it inside out
It's a big black hole
Take your money burn it up like an asteroid
Possessions
They are never gonna fill the void
Take it away
And learn the best lesson, the heart, the soul, the life, the passion
There's no money
There's no possession
Only obsession
I don't need that shit
Take my money, take my possession
Take my obsession, I don't need that shit.
Money, possession, obsession.
Present yourself, press your clothes
Comb your hair and clock in,
You just can't win, just can't win
The things you own, own you now!
Take my money, take my possession
Take my obsession, I don't need that shit
Fuck your money, fuck your possession
Fuck your obsession, I don't need that shit
Money, possession, obsession
I don't need that shit.
06 Legacy (03:03)
Dead president, fuck the president
Mansons strive for power
While I work to save my residence
He owns you even though he never told you
Mark of the beast on your hands
Now he owns you
Thrown down to the bottom level
Ruled by the fist
And the fist is the devil
I metamorphosis, make myself level
We are the future
We are right now
Right now, I'm taking a stab at the sic, sic, sic
I know what evil is and evil could suck my dick
Like Sam Hain and the God ain't no joke
Better watch your neck
'Cause you might get choked
We are the future
We are right now
Fuck the futrue
You sink we swim
We rise you fall
We meet our fate together
I was here from the start
And I'll be here in the end
In the end
I'm dodging arrows from the dark side every day
And I'm a main target 'cause of what I say
If I nearly always go against the grain
and crushing everything before it takes your brain
Thrown down to the bottom level
Ruled by the fist
And the fist is the devil
I metamorphosis, make myself level
Yeah C'mon
Yeah C'mon
We are the future
We are right now
Fuck the futrue
You sink we swim
We rise you fall
We meet our fate together
I was here from the start
And I'll be here in the end
In the end
Legacy
Legacy
Legacy
Legacy
I was here from the start
And I'll be here in the end
In the end
Legacy
Legacy
Legacy
Legacy.
07 Revenge (03:42)
Remember the girl
Abused with forks, knives, and razor blades?
Remember the girl
Abused with forks, knives, and razor blades?
She finally left him
Had enough of her man's rage
Band-aids covered her scars she left him bloodied
Beat his ass with a bat
Face sunk in like silly putty
Ya'll can sit back so I could study
Destruction of the family design
And how the morals of society decline
Essentially it's beats to rhyme like grapes to wine
It's alright, we're in love
Can't live without
You see she can't live without him
Stress got her down
She needs to deal with her problems
As the drama gets deeper
I puff on the reefer
Took the last step and sent his ass to the reefer
Chaos
Is what she saw in the mirror
Scared of herself and the power that was in her
It took over
And weighed heavy on her shoulder
Militant insanity is now what controlled her
2x
It's alright, we're in love
Can't live without
We're in love
We're in love
Before it reaches you
Missiles won't work it's approaching the mainland
What if it reaches the metropolitan areas?
Cosmopolitan areas
Secure the lines and prepare for departure
Calm, calm, calm,
It is a, a big business
And seems to be
Advancing underground
Cuz my style is yo, is underground
I'm green
With my red eyes mad tint
Flea fly flo
Rapido, rapido
She feeds plentiful
ELECTRIFYING THE NATION!
ELECTRIFYING THE NATION!
Don't you see that we're in danger?
How will we stop it?
She is attacking
Don't you see that we are in danger?
How will we stop it?
She is attacking
x4
Sucka!
Danger danger!
Running out, we're running out
Running out of time
Running out, we're running out
Running out of time
Running out, we're running out
Running out of time
Running out, we're running out
It's alright, we're in love
Can't live without.
08 Snakes (03:31)
I got a problem with the snakes that are crawlin'
Through my area when the darkness has fallen
And Momma told me that they love to bite
Bite you in the back no shame that's right, what, what
I keep my distance cause they're makin' me crazy
Stealin' from me, you know those fuckers are lazy
My blood boils, fat turns to oil
Step the fuck back or you'll get buried in soil
Over trauma, or you could sleep with the fishes
My clutches are tight and I'll take your last wishes
One for your money
Two for your girl
Three for your life
Now I fucked-up your world
Do you like how it feels
To be bit in the neck by the snake that kills?
Do you know how it feels to be stabbed in the back then watch the blood spill?
I don't like how it feels check it
Do you know how it feels to be stabbed in the back then watch the blood spill?
Break it down
Yo, it's kinda funny how you're runnin your mouth man
You're caught in a lie and then there's no way out, come on
Betray your friends and your peeps and your family
Livin like a snake Livin like a bloody thief
Check my cuz it's deep like the sea
From me to y'all, and then from y'all back to me, Ha!
Danger danger, I slay snakes like a ranger
Military style fears god not a stranger
Now tell me, tell me who's crew's sicker?
Mine's sicker, get on your knees you be a dick licker
One for your money
Two for your girl
Three for your life
Now I fucked-up your world
Check it!
Do you like how it feels
To be bit in the neck by the snake that kills?
Do you know how it feels to be stabbed in the back then watch the blood spill?
I don't like how it feels, check it
Do you know how it feels to be stabbed in the back then watch the blood spill?
Do you like how it feels?
I don't like how it feels!
I don't like it
I don't want it
I don't need it
I don't like it
I don't want it
I don't need it
What the fuck is up?
Do you like how it feels
To be bit in the neck by the snake that kills?
Do you know how it feels to be stabbed in the back then watch the blood spill?
Do you like how it feels?
I don't like how it feels to be bit in the neck by the snake that kills
By the snake that kills
By the snake that kills.
09 Never Enough (03:36)
Life's been sucked out of me and this routine's killing me.
I did it to myself, again I said this would not be.
Somebody put me out of my misery.
Expression, stimulation, I'm loose inside myself.
I did it to myself again. Somebody put me in my place....
CHORUS:
Never enough, Never enough
Do I deserve what I got?
Now everything's okay, there's nothing wrong with me.
This seems unnatural, to me I'd say in everyway.
Somebody kick me in my face.
Now something's wrong with me,
I'm bleeding profusely and this seems natural.
To me I fuck-up everyday, somebody put me in my place....
Chorus
Chorus
What I got, What I got, What I got, What I got.....
I feel as if I'm running back to where I started.
Ask whats wrong with me and I say nothing.
Is everything okay? Is something wrong with me?
Pushing and pulling feelings, eternal my heart is yours
I feel as if I'm running, I feel as if I'm running,
I feel as if I'm running..
RUN!!!! LIFE WILL KNOCK ME DOWN!!!!!!
Chorus
LIFE WILL KNOCK ME DOWN!!
10 Binge (03:48)
All I need is a bottle
And I don't need no friends, no
Wallow in my pain
I swallow as I pretend
To act like I'm happy
When I drink till no end, no
I'm losing all my friends
I'm losing in the end
She says
Behave little boy, you better sit back down
Till you hold your ground
It's your turn to learn to fight
You better sit back down
Till you hold your ground
When I'm sober life bores me
So I get drink again
Yeah!
I'm losing all my friends
I'm losing in the end
She says
Behave little boy
You better sit back down
Till you hold your ground
It's your turn to learn to fight
You better sit back down
Till you hold your ground
You better sit back down
You better put that down
Put the bottle down
I am on a binge
I am on a binge
I wish things would change
Wish they'd rearrange
I am on a binge
I wish things would change
Wish they'd rearrange
I am on a binge
I'm on a binge!
11 Thrown Away (09:36)
The rhyme again
I'm coming sick and on time again
Words manifest from deep inside where people hide within
It's chemical unbalanced on the triple beam, what?
For what cha heard it's about what I seen
I seen it happen back hand brand to face smackin
Definite disorder now his mindset is blackened
The doctors say he got the brain of a murderer
This rugged style steals your brain
My heart is bleeding and this pain will not pass
It's not receding and my body's going numb
A bad trip child rolling stoned keeping high
He don't know what he's doing he just keep getting by
Thrown away
I want to be thrown away
He's born sick nothing in his hands but his dick
He could handle pressure but he couldn't handle shit
For the life he was leading led him down the wrong path
Where guns blast I give a shit about the gods wrath
Don't want to talk to the counselor Doctor
To tell'em what real to tell'em what's proper
The situations unclear like gray and I know it gets worse
everyday
My heart is bleeding and this pain will not pass
It's not receding and my body's going numb
A bad trip child rolling stoned keeping high
He don't know what he's doing he just keep getting by
Thrown away
I want to be thrown away
I am a mess I've made a huge mess I can't control myself
I'm losing it I've lost it I've spilt all my marbles
cause I see you inside of me sometimes I want to be thrown away [x2]
a hyper spaz and that is me sometimes I want to be thrown away
Thrown Away! [x8]
Voices in my head, voices in my head
Don't tell me to do it cause I will, NOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Don't tell me to do it cause I will, NOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Last Remain! Last Remain! Last Remain!

Bisogna dare a Cesare quel che è di Cesare e riconoscere la validità di certi lavori.
Un lavoro coi fiocchi che sa coniugare freschezza ed energia.
