Taproot - Gift CD

 awesome
When you go to shows there are usually street-teamers passing out demos and shwag. I was fortunate enough to get a hold of Taproot's demo and it gave me chills. I would define their music as cool; it really is cool music. The way they carry themselves really comes through in their music. As they gave Fred Durst the notorious "F-U" phone message, they quickly rose to the top of bands I had to hear, and they delivered. Totally rad music. I can listen to "Gift" in any mood and relate to all of their songs. Great live show, no frills. "Again & Again" resonates well with me and always sends chills down my spine.

 Unique
When I first started into the depper and darker rock and roll, Taproot was one of the first groups I got into. They have a very unique sound, to this day unmatched - this cd is full of personal energy that is from the heart.

 This is a far cry of what Welcome has become
This is a band at tender ages below 25. I've musta borrowed this at least once to check my senses to compare this to their latest and favorite CD, Blue-Sky Research. Production is different. Stephen Richards vocals here are a far-cry from what's being heard on Blue-Sky Research. No offense. Really |-<>.

 not a fan of nu metal a all
but this is a great album. Great songs, with more to them than your avergae nu metal crap band like linkin park. Highly recommended for heavy rock fans. Don't bother with taproots second offering though.....

 great nu-metal
Best nu-metal to come out since deftones. IF you can't see the greatness in nu-metal, than you might not be able to appreciate this cd. I personally don't think nu-metal is a good genre, but for that genre, taproot does a good job at keeping it interesting.
