Only Through the Pain – TraptView More By Trapt Our ReviewBy opening their third studio album with the fist-pumping "Wasteland," Trapt set the stage for a frenzy of catchy, emotional anthems that further blur the line between post grunge's melodious laments and alt-metal's pummeling, soaring serenades. Anyone who has ever had to abruptly face the heart crushing reality of a former lover moving on should be able to identify with the burning urgency pouring from "Who's Going Home With You Tonight" where Chris Brown's voice trembles with the realistic pain of knowing that in a few hours his ex-girlfriend will be waking up in the arms of another man. Trapt's natural versatility is showcased on "Forget About The Rain," a detour into earthy and organic songwriting that implements the use of a bouncy and danceable drum beat holding up classic rock guitar tones and the kind of Velcro-catchy melodies that can take residence in your head for days on end. "Cover Up," with its dark leaden ambiance, rumbling rhythms, and guitars so loud they could peel the paint off walls, makes it easy to understand why the band wanted to work with producer Garth Atreyu, who has also given his Midas touch to bands like Rage Against The Machine and L7.. Customer ReviewsI believe it's our best work yet... (5 stars)Some people have expressed anger at the songs being less aggressive or too melodic or slow. This album is supposed to represent the dynamic of pleasure and pain, love and hate, and happiness and sadness. I would say half the album is more aggressive and half the album is less aggressive. There are also a bunch of songs that sit nicely in the middle. I'm sorry boys and girls if you wanted me to be "headstrong" my whole life and tell Still Amazing, but Not Their Best (4 stars) I've been an avid trapt fan since day one. I've memorized every single word to every single song that they've written; you could say that I'm a fan. I've been counting down the days for this cd's release and I really like what I hear. The sound is drastically different, as the band has adapted a new guitarist. Before, Trapt's sound was heavier. This cd gives off a softer, more alternative vibe. Selfishly, I would prefer more more metal, but What Happened? (3 stars) To the people saying this is just like their old stuff and how their second album was bad are the guys who only liked the mellow songs like stories and echo. If you liked the heavier tracks like Still frame, Disconnected, Stand up, and Still frame you're going to be heavily dissapointed with this album. Only a few songs keep the heavy lyrics and rythm, the rest of the album is so mellow that I think i'm falling asleep and listening to Coldp BiographyFormed: 1995 in Los Gatos, CAGenre: Rock Years Active: '90s, '00s, '10s School chums Chris Brown and Peter Charell absorbed the heavy rock sound of Korn, Soundgarden, and Metallica during the mid-'90s. Both were music geeks and naturally flirted with the idea of getting a group together. Casual gigs in school motivated them even more, leaving Brown and Charell to design what would become Trapt. In 1997, fellow guitarist Simon Ormandy joined the band. The trio recorded its own demo and landed gigs in and around the suburbs of...
