5.0 out of 5 stars
Unbelievable!! Where do these bands come from !!!, February 16, 2003
About a week ago i picked up this cd and boy was I surprised. I heard "Headstrong" their first single on the radio a lot and I liked their style so when I listened to the rest of the songs I was stunned at how good these guys are. "Headstong" is not even the best song on the cd. This is another one of those rare cds that you can just let it play through and not have to skip a single song cause they all rock! The two hardest songs on the cd are "Headstrong" and "Still Frame" but most of the other songs are softer but still have a hard rock backbone to them. They have a much different more melodic sound than "Headstrong" and "Still Frame" but have awesome vocals and guitars. The best song by far has to be "Echo" but "Made of Glass" , "These Walls", and "Enigma" rank right up at the top with "Echo". If you like Breaking Benjamin, TRUST Co., or Mad at Gravity, they sound a lot like these guys but Trapt has their own special sound that doesn't even compare those other bands. It amazes me that so many of these great artists are so little known but better for you I guess cause you can buy their album cheap. I guarantee if you like rock you won't be disappointed in this album!!

Trapt - One of the best CD debut releases, June 22, 2005
I first heard the song 'Headstrong' on my local rock station and immediately got interested in this band. A few days after this searching for their lyrics on the internet, I read through their website and lyrics and indeed liked what I read and saw. I wanted a further taste of Trapt. This is Trapt's debut album and they're in the process of working on their sophmore album at the present with a early 2006 release scheduled. This album self titled is one of the best album releases I have come across not only for the song 'Headstrong' which in my opinion isn't the strongest album but is a catchy tune and rockaholic fantasy. The songs that make the album into a solid release is three songs that have some important messages in their lyrics about occurances in our society in this day and age and they are 'Still Frame', 'Echo' and 'Enigma'. This CD comes with a enhanced CD-ROM version that is a knockout. All you need to do is submit your email address and you get into a live website with extra live appearances, and band photos and backstage video clips. The last song on this album is 9 mins long. The actual song goes for 3.5 mins and the rest is a beautiful guitar and synth riff that is break background music.
All in all this CD is not a one hit wonder but a testament to talent.

5.0 out of 5 stars
One of best CDs of the year., November 16, 2002
Since I first heard "Headstrong" on the radio a month or so ago, I've been waiting very impatiently for the album to be realeased. However, once you've heard "Headstrong", you've heard only one side of Trapt. Unlike many bands, they are not one dimensional in their style. While Trapt has some excellent hard rock songs like "Still Frame" on the album, their true strength lies in their melodic sound found in all their songs, but most noticeably in "Echo", "These Walls", "Enigma", and "Made of Glass". Amazingly, they don't allow one style to dominate the album. Personally, I'm sick of bands whose songs all sound alike. This is most certainly not the case with Trapt. Every single song is different from the rest while being equally well done. Normally at the end of review I list my favorite songs, but I just can't pick out songs that I like more than the others. My only complaint about the album is about "When All is Said and Done". I had an earlier release of this song as an MP3 and the song is very different. While the CD version is good, it just doesn't sound as good as the MP3 I had. Apparently they changed the melody or something.
