“1 Nite Stand” opens up with a very interesting bass line, but it never really seems to go anywhere and almost seems devoid of a chorus. “Again & Again” comes next and is one of my personal favorites on the album, the chorus is insanely catchy and well sung. The album opens up with “Smile” which might be one of the heaviest songs on the album, with Steven’s heavy screech-like scream throughout. However as much as I like his voice, Stevens can NOT rap! His voice as you can tell by my description his voice does not suit well here, it just sounds strange and awkward, but he keeps rapping to a bare minimal. Now all the nu-metal elements are there rapping, screaming, teen-angst filled lyrics, everything you could want in a nu-metal album however there is a certain alternative quality always present. Fellow nu-metal musicians System of a Down helped the group secure a record deal with Atlantic, and thus “Gift” came into existence. Taproot started out in the nu-metal scene in Michigan and recorded (to my knowledge) 2 independent albums under the names of “.Something More then Nothing” and “Upon Us” the band focused heavily on melody while still retaining plenty of rapping for nu-metal heads at the time (this was the 90’s afterall). Now lets’ start this review “officially” with a history lesson. Taproot will appeal to a small number of you that’s to be sure, and if you need to find a good place to start “Gift” is the perfect place to start. The lyrics (which 90% of all their songs revolve around heartbreak, or some bitch somewhere) might either draw you in or push you away. This is partially due to Steven’s vocals which have a Layne Staley quality to it, some will find his voice rather too shaky or nasally while some people like myself find his voice unique and well honed. Taproot is one of those bands you either love or hate (I am a self-admitted fan).
