Armed with the solid, if fluctuating voice of Stephen Richards (one of nu-metalвЂ™s more interesting vocalists) and a solid rhythm section, it wasnвЂ™t long before the band started hitting up huge tours with some of the biggest bands in the scene back then.

Buoyed by singles вЂњAgain and AgainвЂќ and вЂњSmileвЂќ, among other standout tracks, it was a solid opening act for the young band, who were once courted by Limp BizkitвЂ™s Fred Durst before a much-publicized falling out. While not reaching a coveted Platinum or even Gold certification, the record still managed to sell a couple hundred thousand copies to date. ItвЂ™s with that being said that their 2000 debut full-length, Gift, was a solid success story. Collectively having sold millions of records worldwide canвЂ™t be considered a failure, and the bandвЂ™s first two albums saw them playing festivals like Ozzfest, too. Albums include Gift, Welcome, and Blue-Sky Research. Genres: Nu Metal, Alternative Metal, Alternative Rock. A fairly tried and true nu-metal band that came along right when bands like Limp Bizkit and Korn were hitting on their commercial promise, Taproot never quite achieved what many of their peers did, at least in a commercial and critical sense, but that doesnвЂ™t make their career unsuccessful.

MP3 is a digital audio format without digital rights management (DRM) technology. Single 'Again & Again' is a anthemic, dynamic, modern metal burner which is spiced up by electronic samples and boasts Mike DeWolf's intense guitar playing. Singer Steve Richards possesses the voice of a melodic metal god, both subtle and strong with the odd scream thrown in for good measure.

They have more tunes than a chemist in winter and this album is one huge highlight. Imagine all the best bits of some of the best American heavy bands of the moment - Tool, Deftones, Incubus, even Glassjaw but think of something whipped up in a ultra heavy melodic blender. Opener 'smile' sets the heavy/hardcore pace with a strong sense of melody. With the glut of Korn-fed hard rock bands popping up on record store shelves, its a real chore.
