The album debuted at number 14 on the "Billboard" 200 chart, with approximatively 61,400 copies sold. Three singles were released: "Stand Up", "Waiting", and "Disconnected (Out of Touch)". "Someone in Control" was co-produced by Trapt and Don Gilmore. The lyrics were written by Chris Brown, music written by Trapt. As of April 2006, the album has sold 263,000 copies. 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, Trapt was asked to leave from Warner Bros. Records. Critical reception. 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." 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." Track listing. "Alibi" released as a bonus track on Walmart.com with claim code found on the inside of the compact disc. Personnel. Band Production
