Chris Fallon Of AbsolutePunk.Net Said About The Album "Big Anthems Jonas Brother Album Cover Lyrics That Weave In & Out Of Ambition-Slash-Unified Hope And Back-Alley Corners? Too Many Times The Band Takes One Step Forward And Two Steps Back At Least Showing Some Minimal Signs Of Life In A Dying Genre Built On Repetition. Shaddix Has A Solid Voice For This Sound And Horton Seems To Be Discovering A New Use For His Distortion Pedal There Are Just Far Too Many Cliches In The Ocean Papa Roach Is Trying To Swim Across And The Band Can't Seem To Cope With Their Identity. Stephen Thomas Erlewine Of Allmusic Said That The Album Has "a Dire Determination To Its Purported Good Times" "While Papa Roach Is A Long Long Way From The Depths Of Hinder — That Decade Of Work Does Give The Band A Professional Snap Plus It Never Quite Seems That Jacoby Shaddix's Heart Is Into Slagging That "Hollywood Whore" He Berates On The Album's First Single — They Miss The Whole Point Of This Kind Of Rock & Roll Launch It Should Be More Fun To Listen To Than It Is To Take Out On The Road." The Album Landed At #8 In The Billboard 200 Selling 44 000 Copies In Its First Week. Despite Its Strong Debut On The Chart Metamorphosis Quickly Slid Out Of The Top 20 And Charted At #25 Its Second Week. However In Canada Things Were Different.
