Editorial Reviews

Product Description
On their third studio album platinum rockers Trapt have not only returned to form but shattered expectations of what a rock disc can be. With Only Through The Pain, the Northern California-reared, L.A. based band returned to Co-Producer Gggarth Richardson's Vancouver studio to rekindle the magic that helped propel its 2002 eponymous debut past two million in sales. The end result is a disc that's as heartfelt and ingenious as it is diverse and seamlessly rewarding. From the riff-roaring, high energy anthem 'Wasteland' to the deeply moving finale 'The Last Tear', the eleven-song follow up to Trapt's 2005's gold-certified Someone In Control again finds front man, guitarist and principal songwriter Chris Taylor Brown going deep.

2.0 out of 5 stars Is this the same band?, September 1, 2008

By	B. Crowley (Little Falls, NJ USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Apparently the band is over whatever anger and hurt feelings led to the great rock album "Someone in Control." What we have now is a homogenized pop album geared towards teenage girls. I should have known this album was bad news when there were no song previews available, but their first two albums were worth buying; sadly, this one is not.

"Who's going home with you tonight" is a good song and worth a purchase as a single. As for the rest of the album, I highly suggest you preview the songs first.

5.0 out of 5 stars Only Through the Pain - BEST YET, August 5, 2008

By	Mark Read (Philadelphia, PA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Only Through the Pain (MP3 Download)

Trapt is the most amazing band. There is no band that comes close to what they do. They are hard to describe well to someone who hasn't heard their sound, so I say emogrunge for lack of a better account.

A good band goes through certain stages, and the trend while young is usually that they just keep getting better (until the band starts peaking).

Trapt's is not like most bands' evolutions.

They are no longer a young band or young musicians, and this album makes it clear that their growth has not diminished a bit. Trapt just keeps getting better and this album shows it.

Only Through the Pain - solidifies for me the fact that Trapt's growth continues (perhaps has not even slowed).

The originality, sound quality (from all four band members), the content, and just the band's overall musical depth and breadth are quite amazing.

I am sure this album will take me places in my heart and head that I did not know existed.

Although Trapt albums take me months of daily listening experience to fully appreciate, I would say that this album is as good as Someone in Control which has been my favorite album for over two years.

The bottom line: These guys are serious rock musicians and serious about creating beautiful and powerful works of temporal art, and this album shows this as well or better than any previous works.
