Today, it reached #1 on Mediabase Active: 3 1 PAPA ROACH Lifeline 1733 1651 82 6.342 77 stations playing. Saw this coming. Too bad the album's not really worth it. First P. Roach album that really disappointed me. I want to believe that Geffen had everything to do with it, but really they've been heading down this road for a while and it was only eventually that the music would catch up with the image. "I Almost Told You I Loved You" is the worst song I've ever heard from them. On a side note, and I know we get into this almost every other day, so I'm sorry to bring it up again, but you know, I wouldn't mind you always posting chart numbers if you said a little something about the track or artist or position in question, to add to the discussion. Just sayin, it would be a help.

Sure "pen", I'll try to do that. I used to do it more on the past but I've been too busy with school's works lately.
While "Lifeline" has grown on me a lot since I first heard it, I still think it's too weak for a lead single (assuming "Hollywood Whore" wasn't a proper single) and I consider it my least favorite "Papa Roach" lead single with "She Loves Me Not" being a close second. I believe that's doing song well mainly because they are big and estabilished acts on both Alternative and Active radio.
About "Metamorphosis", I'm not feeling it at all. I think it's their worst major album and along with The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus' new one it's the biggest disappointment of the year so far.
One more time I'll ask for "Change Or Die" as the next single. It's easily my favorite on the album. Even though it's not that similar, it reminds me of "Not Listening" which is one of my favorite songs by them.

My three biggest disappointments of the year so far are this, Static-X, and a tie between Chris Cornell and The Fray.
I wouldn't say I was disappointed by RJA, cause I wasn't expecting a whole lot to start with.

I didn't like Metamorphosis either when I first it but after five or six listens, it's grown on me and while I still think it's their worst album out of the five, it's really not as bad as I thought. I'm also hoping "Change Or Die" is the next single. That song has awesome energy unlike most of the rest of the album which like is to me a lot of unnecessary cock-rock.
