---{>Music style<}------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In their first two albums, Old Friends from Young Years (1997) and Infest (2000), Papa Roach tended to use nu metal. Since Lovehatetragedy (2002), their music has morphed into hard rock and alternative rock. Additionally, with Metamorphosis (2009), the band feels that their music is going through a transformation to "stuff that's...harder and faster", compared to the softer sound of their last few albums.

Frontman Jacoby Shaddix said the following in an interview with the Dallas Music Guide regarding the band no longer rapping in their music: "...the rapping's gone! I don't feel like rapping. I'm just over that...I just want to be a rocker. It's what I wanted to be when I was a kid". Shaddix has added this remark in another interview: "We’re a band that tries to walk that line between metal, hardcore, punk rock and pop music, and we do our best at trying to make it all tasteful".
