Trapt - Trapt (Enhanced) (CD)

All Music Guide

Trapt, yet another numetal entry from southern California, proffers an eponymous majorlabel debut that is as enthusiastic as it is plagiaristic. There is an organic feel to the disc that separates it from their more angstridden peers, specifically those who rely on electronic gadgetry over a simple guitarbassdrums setup, though the congenial feel fits in alongside Incubus, especially with a propensity toward pensive moments that evoke a softer image than most, one that would fit into emo if the band wasn't so obviously aesthetically a rock band; "These Walls" actually sounds like Nickelback at its most adult rockradiofriendly, for example. Trapt isn't original, per se, as much as it does a good job melding its pronounced influences more seamlessly than most; the band would get a better recommendation if the record had songs that stood out a bit more.
