Rock
Release Date: 08/05/2008
Trapt is back with their third studio opus titled
"Only Through the Pain." With alternative flair on cuts like
"Who's Going Home with You Tonight?" and
"Black Rose" the band plays well to the genre. The slickly produced
"Ready When You Are" is a radio-ready hit. The tune boasts an infectious chorus while guitar nuances interplay nicely. When
Trapt plays to their strengths you can hear a '70s vibe as in
"Forget About the Rain" and when they rock - it comes out nicely as heard in
"Cover Up." The disc boasts earthy guitar tones that liven the palette, via the production of
Garth Atreyu (
L7,
Rage Against the Machine). With
"Only Through the Pain," Trapt mixes together several levels of
modern rock; whether it's touching on a funky groove or laying out the rock, the band sounds poised to hit the next level.

Only Through The Pain (OTTP) is in my eyes TRAPT's best album!
The Five songs that i have herd from OTTP, have already influenced my life.
Like all TRAPT songs, the lyrics are meaningfull and can be related to which makes all the songs on this album an enjoyable and in some senses insperational listen.

Trapt fans will love Only Through The Pain
Trapt has reached a new level with their third studio release. The album maintains the no-holds-barred attitude of Trapt, while exploring new territory that even the most die-hard fans of the band won't expect. Vocalist Chris Brown demonstrates great range with his hard-hitting lyrics and emotional voice. Complete with catchy melodies and powerful guitars, Only Through the Pain accomplishes what Trapt always strives for: evolving with their sound while staying true to themselves.
