album review
Trapt's self-titled 2002 debut went platinum and more on the strength of modern rock radio faves "Headstrong" and "Still Frame." The attraction was obvious -- the quartet's sound was a pristine blueprint of 21st century southern California proto-metal, the onslaught led by Incubus, Linkin Park, and Hoobastank, bringing the same blend of massaged post-grunge verses and knots of affected screaming and band saw guitar. Even their name, Trapt -- it read like market research, a monosyllabic summation of adolescent discontent, extreme sports, and jabs to the solar plexus. It's more of all of that on 2005's Someone in Control. But while Trapt still work inside their established formula, they also constrict it, so songs like "Disconnected (Out of Touch)," "Waiting," and "Influence" rip with more internal tension. "Lost Realist" is also strong. It's a little predictable, especially when the strings come in. But its meshing of Goo Goo Dolls plaintiveness with post-grunge crackle is a nice progression for the quartet. ~ Johnny Loftus, All Music Guide

- There best cd, in my opinion, would definitely have to be "Someone in Control"! It is a definite shame that the radio taught people that Headstrong was the only thing that Trapt had to offer. The radio killed the sond and now, most people are incredibly reluctant of even listening to Trapt because they are so sick of Headstrong. I am glad I am one of those who gets the honor of thinking Trapt is an amazing band! ^_^
