Someone in Control by Trapt

Someone in Control, Trapt's second album, landed on Warner Bros. on September 13, 2005, with the unenviable job of following a platinum debut and the pop-crossing smash "Headstrong". The Los Gatos, California band played it straight: post-grunge built for rock radio, Chris Taylor Brown's clenched-jaw vocals and guitar out front, Pete Charell's bass, Simon Ormandy and Aaron Montgomery locking in behind.
"Stand Up" went out first that July, a fist-pumper that reached No. 3 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, and "Waiting" and "Disconnected (Out of Touch)" followed as singles in 2006. AllMusic's Johnny Loftus heard the band squeezing its formula tighter and finding some tension inside it. The album opened at number 14 on the Billboard 200 and had moved 500,000 copies by year's end, but without a true breakout single it fell short of the debut, and Warner Bros. quietly let the band go.
