Release Date: August 5th, 2008
Producer: Garth Richardson
Trapt has been well-established for a few years now and their third record, "Only Through The Pain..." is another good addition to their catalogue. The album debuted at #18 on the Billboard 200 Chart and #4 on the Rock Album Chart. It moved 25,000 copies its first week.
If you listen to Trapt's entire library of songs, you will always find different elements of rock. New songs such as "Who's Going Home with You Tonight?", "Contagious" and "Cover Up" play very well to the genre and are great tracks. Tracks like "Ready When You Are" and "Black Rose" are produced very well and deserve to be radio hits. "Black Rose" features a phenomenal overdubbed, layered vocal bridge that will impress any listener. Chris Taylor Brown's lyrics reflect life's thoughts, curiosities and troubles and mix well with the hard-driven, funky and clever guitar riffs. What more can you ask for?
When a band incorporates many sounds of rock into an album, they can only climb higher up the ladder. Trapt is a great example of that. They do it very well and their future releases will show that. People should look past "Headstrong" and actually listen to what these guys have to offer. It's great modern rock and their albums are all thoroughly produced and striking.
