The Paramour Sessions

Untitled

The Paramour Sessions is the fourth major-label album by Californian rock group Papa Roach. It was released on September 12, 2006. While pre-recording, the band rented the Paramour Mansion which the album name reflects. Like their previous effort, Getting Away with Murder, the album steers away from their previous nu metal sound except for ...To Be Loved which features a few rap style verses. This album has some influences of hard rock, pop rock, pop punk, hardcore punk and post-grunge.

Sales

The album debuted at #16 on the Billboard 200 Chart with 37,000 copies sold. Sales so far have been disappointing with estimates of 266,000 copies sold in America as of June 28, 2007, which is a far cry from the 3 million copies Infest shipped.

Miscellaneous
