Trapt is the debut studio album by American rock band Trapt, released on November 5, 2002 under Warner Bros. Records.
With three hit singles, the album ascended to number 42 on the Billboard 200 chart, and went on to spend more than 80 weeks inside the Billboard 200. It was certified gold by the RIAA on May 15, 2003, then platinum on November 24 of that same year, making it Trapt's most successful album to date.
In an interview with VH1, Chris Taylor Brown stated the picture of a man mowing a lawn was selected to show his view of suburban life, to which he called home.
AllMusic critic Brian O'Neill regarded the album as "as enthusiastic as it is plagiaristic," while noting "the organic feel to the disc that separates it from their more angst-ridden peers." O'Neill further wrote that the record "isn't original, per se, as much as it does a good job melding its pronounced influences more seamlessly than most; the band would get a better recommendation if the record had songs that stood out a bit more." Melodics Pär Winberg stated that Trapt features a "softer and more pop-orientated voice that I think is great for this type of music, compared to all clones out there."
Trapt has performed the album in its entirety live across three anniversary tours; the first time in 2014 for its tenth anniversary, the second time for its 20th anniversary in 2022 and 2023, and they are set to do a 25th anniversary tour for the album titled "The Then Til Now Tour" beginning in late 2026.
