    just great

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jul 1, 2003

    Taproot has to be one of the best bands I've ever listened to. I bought their Welcome cd after hearing the song "Poem" and that cd just blew the hell out of me. It was awesome. Then a few months later, I bought Gift, Taproot's first... album. Gift blew the s**t and the hell out of me. It's much heavier than Welcome, and I think it's a lot better too. Stephen Richards kinds of whines, as in lyrics that say "you should feel sorry for me" or stuff like that sometimes in this album, which really got to me, but overall, I like the heaviness and the album a lot better than Welcome. And if you haven't checked out this album yet, some songs you might wanna hear are "Smile", "Again and Again", "Mirror's Reflection", and "Dragged Down", because those are some of my favorites. Well, don't just sit here and read this, go pick up the album now! it's great! Read more Less

    I've got mixed feelings on this album.

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Oct 10, 2002

    At first glance, Taproot just seemed like another whiny, crybaby nu-metal band but after hearing songs like 1 nite stand, I'm not so sure any more. This album isn't bad, but it still does kinda have this "my life sucks, feel sorry for me" attitude. B...ut like I said, not all the songs on this album are like that, whice sets this band apart from most nu-metal bands. Read more Less

    wow

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jun 28, 2002

    bought it today cos it was only £7.50, would have got it sooner, but i thought the rest of it probably wouldn't be better than "again and again", I was wrong, the whole album is amazing, from start to finish, it's heavier than most bands, not just i...n texture but also intensity, the vocals are so versatile and the rest of the band do a brilliant job with the weird time changes etc, i recommend this highly to anyone who is interested in buying it, at any price. GET IT NOW!!!!!!! Read more Less

    Gotta listen to it!

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Feb 8, 2002

    Taproot is an amazing band. The album is really good and I think everyone who likes metal should have this album. This band also kicks ass live! If you ever get the chance to see them live, do it! I saw them last year and the energy they produce is u...nbelievable! Plus they are great musicians (duuuh!). Buy the album, go see them live!!!

    Not bad by any stretch

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jan 8, 2002

    I saw Taproot live a few months ago (and if you really want to see what they can do, catch them on stage, not cd) and they totally blew me away with their energy. Standout songs to me on the album include "I", "Again and Again", and "Smile." The s...tyle of slurring you might call that the vocalist uses is different from most bands out there, and sounds quite good in my opinion, and they don't rap nearly as much as people on this board may lead you to think, rarely if ever.

    underrated

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Dec 20, 2001

    I gotta admit... at first, the music didn't sound that good (with exception to Again & Again) but as i listened to it more and more, it grew on me and now all the songs are awesome! If you like Staind, you'll love taproot(or love them eventually).

    Truly a Gift worth receiving

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Oct 3, 2001

    Taproot is easily one of the most inspiring and great bands out there. I hope their next cd is at least as good as this one.
