The Paramour Sessions by Papa Roach
The Paramour Sessions is an album by Papa Roach, released in 2006. 3 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 33 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Forever”, on 17 lists with a best position of #3.
The Paramour Sessions, Papa Roach's fifth studio album, came out on Geffen on September 12, 2006, and it's where the Vacaville band finished shaking off nu metal for good. Getting Away with Murder had started the move; this one committed to big, glossy alternative rock and hard rock, with Howard Benson producing and every chorus built to fill an arena.
It was the last record from the lineup that had been together since the Infest days: Jacoby Shaddix singing, Jerry Horton on guitar, Tobin Esperance on bass and Dave Buckner on drums, before Buckner left in 2007 and Tony Palermo took his seat. "To Be Loved" is a revved-up stomp, "Forever" a power ballad with its heart on its sleeve, and "Time Is Running Out" kept the album on rock radio into 2007. It reached number 16 on the Billboard 200.
