I was an entertainment department specialist at Target in 2004. They were STILL playing clips of the video for Headstrong on an hourly basis. I called it "prep metal." Metal music for kids who wore T-shirts with the big "TOMMY" logos and secretly smoked Marlboro Lights in their parents Camry's while driving down Wadsworth Blvd. Most of them grew up to be Chris T Brown's. So, it fits.

It's pretty amazing how Trapt reminds me of so many of their contemporaries while being inferior to every single one of them: Korn/Limp Bizkit without the toughness or rapping, Breaking Benjamin without the emotional gravitas, Incubus without the musicianship. Some songs on self-titled dip into emo territory, which they also suck at because they also lack introspection.

[@Andy-up5fc]

Okay, I can't believe I need to do this. I'm going to defend the triforce of suckage... All three of those bands suck, but it's not because they're musically incompetent. Limp Bizkit's guitarist was great, and Durst, like him or hate him, was a good front man. Like, would they have been anything without him? The dude brought in a crowd and had charisma. I have a billion reasons to hate Nickleback, but at least they're musically competent when they try. They have plenty of good parts, it's just the Kroeger is an awful, awful person. And they manage to churn out hit after boring hit, which Trapt never managed. Creed, again, the musicians behind the front man were actually legit good. Which is why they moved on to better shit. Trapt did not. Brown still argues about how popular they are because of their one hit. He'll probably show up in here to brag about their Pandora plays soon. You know, the site where the majority of users don't get to pick what they listen to and they punish you for skipping bad songs. If those bands are the triforce of suckage, that's still too good for Trapt.

I noticed a long time ago that the chorus riff from “Headstrong” by Trapt is very similar to the chorus riff from the song “Do You Call My Name” by Ra only done in a funkier style. The irony of this that both singles were released within five months of each other in 2002 and early 2003!

[@CometMasonTrucker]

My ranking of the “Butt-Rock Starter Pack” Bands (17:22) 10. FFDP: Ivan Moody voice is ear grating. Their motto: “BUTT ROCK AMERICA” (probably). Extremely generic, hard enough to draw in some metal fans, but not hard enough to hurt its commercial viability. Result: Ear Grating 9. Hinder: Extremely boring. Austin Winkler is raspy to the point where a raspberry can sing better than him 8. Buckcherry: The dirtiest butt in butt rock, at least they have a funk vibe? Mostly dull, but at least there is energy. 7. Theory (Of A Deadman): Their early stuff (self-titled & Gasoline) is not bad, but everything after that is really bad. 6. Puddle of Mudd: I don’t hate them, but I don’t love them. I really enjoy most of the Come Clean singles, but there’s a good amount of boring tracks too. 5. 3 Doors Down: Kinda the pioneers of butt rock. Their music doesn’t do any harm, and a few of their singles are good. 4. Staind: A good band with good control of their instruments. Their music jams the most out of all these bands (Break The Cycle rocks) but they can be overdramatic (14 Shades of Lame). Not talking about his politics. 3. Daughtry: The singles are good, and they are definitely the least controversial band, as well the least hated. 2. Nickelback: Yes, they aren’t “Rockstars”, but their early stuff is really good, and every album seems to have at least a few good tracks. Even if there are some really stinky tracks. 1. Creed: Their first album is good. Even in their worst early era album, “Weathered”, there are some great tracks. Even “Full Circle”, their reunion album where Scott Stapp sounded much worse than before, had a few good songs. They have a lot of songs with high energy, and the band is solid. I think “With Arms Wide Open” would get more love if Scott Stapp didn’t sing like “WID ARMS WERDE OPON”. Also, SEX!
