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. Despite peaking at higher positions on most charts worldwide, 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, although Lovehatetragedy doesn't have as much rapping as Infest, some tracks do features 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.
The album is also Papa Roach's last album to feature their classic logo which was used on Infest and their independent EP Let 'Em Know which was released in 1999.
The album begins to showcase the singing melodies that lead vocalist Jacoby Shaddix would use in the follow-up albums but still retains some of the rapping of its predecessor.
Lovehatetragedy is Papa Roach's last album under DreamWorks Records, which was later absorbed by Geffen in 2003. Papa Roach was signed under Geffen until 2010.
