Papa Roach's first full-length album, Old Friends From
Young Years, documents a band in their formative years,
and although it saw limited release and has since
become a collector's item of sorts, it contains some of
the group's best material. Having been recorded by the
band themselves, one should not be surprised at its
rudimentary production, yet the scratchy recording
allows one to envision the band in a live setting much
better than the more streamlined production of Infest.
Frontman Coby Dick relies on a scattershot rap approach
heavily doused in hardcore intensity, spitting lyrics
with vehement fury before lapsing into subdued spoken
word/singing. Amidst street-smart rap lingo, Dick
exudes emotion when contemplating life ("Orange Drive
Palms"), spousal abuse ("Liquid Diet"), drugs ("829"),
and a variety of other personal topics. Musically Papa
Roach is captured here with a much more underground
hardcore approach that relies solely on crunchy guitars
and blistering drums, which may surprise those more
accustomed to Papa Roach's later, more accessible
mainstream rock style. Old Friends From Young Years
also contains what may possibly be the most infamous
Papa Roach song with "Peewagon," a song which deals
with the inability to control one's bladder and a song
that the band later refused to play at live shows
despite fan encouragement. While nothing on this album
is written as well or as slick as the band's Infest
material, it remains earlier fans' favorite from the
band and gives newcomers a chance to understand why
Papa Roach was considered one of the independent
scene's top contenders long before Dreamworks signed
them.
