Lovehatetragedy by Papa Roach
Lovehatetragedy is an album by Papa Roach, released in 2002. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 25 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “She Loves Me Not”, on 19 lists with a best position of #10.
Lovehatetragedy, Papa Roach's third album and their second for a major label, arrived on June 18, 2002, with Brendan O'Brien producing the Vacaville, California four-piece. Jacoby Shaddix, Jerry Horton, Tobin Esperance and Dave Buckner had been together since 1996, and after the rap-heavy Infest they set out to sing more and rap less.
The result is leaner, meaner alternative metal, all slammed-door riffs and Shaddix swinging between snarl and singalong. Some of it reaches back: "She Loves Me Not" first turned up on a 1999 demo, and "Walking Thru Barbed Wire" dates from the ...Let 'Em Know! EP. "She Loves Me Not" also landed in the video game NHL 2003, and "Time and Time Again" joined it on the countdowns. Reviews were mostly favorable, it debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 behind The Eminem Show with about 136,000 sold in its first week, and it went gold.
