Getting Away with Murder (album)

Getting Away with Murder is the fourth studio album by the American rock band Papa Roach. It was released on August 31, 2004, by Geffen Records. The album marked a shift in sound for the band, moving away from their previous nu-metal style towards a more hard rock and alternative rock direction. Lyrically, the album addresses themes of violence, social injustice, and personal struggles.

The album was a commercial success, reaching number 17 on the Billboard 200 chart in the United States. Several singles were released from the album, including the title track "Getting Away with Murder," "Scars," and "Take Me." "Scars" was particularly successful, reaching number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and becoming one of Papa Roach's signature songs.

Getting Away with Murder was produced by Howard Benson, who also worked with bands such as P.O.D., My Chemical Romance, and Daughtry. The album received mixed reviews from critics, with some praising the band's evolution in sound and songwriting, while others criticized the album for being generic and lacking the energy of their earlier work. Despite the mixed critical reception, Getting Away with Murder remains a popular album among Papa Roach fans and is considered a significant release in the band's discography.
