Lovehatetragedy is the third album by the rock band Papa Roach. It was released on June 18, 2002. A re-recorded version of the song "M-80 (Explosive Energy Movement)" was featured in the game Amplitude. The Song "She Loves Me Not" was featured in the game "NHL 2003". The songs "She Loves Me Not" and "Walking Thru Barbed Wire" were recorded in 1999 and can be found on Papa Roach's 1999 release. The album failed to catch the success of the band's previous album Infest.
According to Papa Roach, the band wanted to incorporate more singing over rapping into their music. However, even though Lovehatetragedy doesn't have as much rapping as Infest, the album does feature rapping. Lovehatetragedy was the band's last album to feature a nu metal sound and rapping until the release of The Connection a decade later in 2012.
Lovehatetragedy is Papa Roach's last album under DreamWorks Records, which was later absorbed by Geffen in 2003. Papa Roach would be signed under Geffen until 2010.
Human behavior
Peculiar it seems
Some thrive on hate
Some love the dream
Everyone's got a purpose and wants to be loved
I think I found my purpose
I think I found love
Hidden inside myself
Tragedy
Strikes when you least expect it
Hate and destruction crashed down on our world
The stars and the stripes
The boys and the girls
It's sad it took war just to bring us together
I believe in love
I believe in forever
Hidden inside ourselves
You better run
You better run
For your life
For your life
Shed a tear
Shed a tear
Live in fear
Tragedy day
Tragedy day
