Release
The first single, "Stand Up", was released on July 12, 2005, and topped out at No. 17 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart and No. 3 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. The album was released on two months later on September 13,[1] debuting at number 14 on the Billboard 200 chart, with approximatively 61,400 copies sold in its first week.[2] By the end of 2005, the album sold 500,000 copies.[3] "Waiting" and "Disconnected (Out of Touch)" were released as singles in 2006.
Despite the anticipation before the release, the album failed to catch the success of their debut album, possibly due to the lack of a hit single. Following the disappointing sales of the album, Warner Bros. Records silently dropped the band.[3]

AllMusic's Johnny Loftus saw promise in the band's sophomore record elevating their 21st century SoCal proto-metal template with tracks like "Disconnected (Out of Touch)", "Waiting" and "Influence", saying they "succeed at constricting that sound, building some internal tension that gives Trapt some life outside their formula."[4] Tom Beaujour of Blender found Chris Taylor Brown's vocals "overwrought" throughout the track listing and backhandedly complimented his bandmates' "preternatural command" of radio-ready nu-metal, concluding that "So even if Brown isn't exaggerating when he claims, "I'm always questioning my sanity," at least he won't have any trouble paying for a good shrink."[5]
