In regards to the album's sound,singer Chris Taylor Brown states:“This record is really a new sound for Trapt. With ‘Reborn’we really wanted to use new sounds and textures as well as experiment with delays,reverbs,synths and many other techniques we have learned over the years or have heard in our influences. Lyrically,this album is as deep and thoughtful as any album that Trapt has done in the past.”[3]
