2020 saw the release of nu-metal C-listers Trapt's 8th studio record Shadow Work, amidst an intense atmosphere of intense internet mockery and scorn. As far back as 2017, the band's frontman Chris Taylor Brown had developed a vitriolic presence on Trapt's various social media outlets, attracting controversy by claiming institutional racism doesn't exist, joking about sexual assault, and outright bullying users unprovoked, among many other things. This persona was jacked up to ridiculous extremes during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, and almost certainly influenced Shadow Work's lack of sales, which only amounted to around 600 copies in its first week of release.
But is it at all possible that there's something more to Shadow Work, hiding just below the surface? Could there be some hidden treasure amidst all the controversy and furor?
No.
This album is absolutely putrid, and we refuse to pretend otherwise.
Join Lilz & Patrick on a new Jukebox Zeroes, along with return guest Aimee Hauthaway, as they take every opportunity to tear Chris Taylor Brown's "legacy" to shreds, while pretending to impartially listen to the post-grunge garbage fire that is Shadow Work.
