'Gift' is the third studio album and major label debut by American alternative metal band Taproot. It was released on June 27, 2000. The singles "Again & Again" and "I" both entered the rock chart and the album itself has sold over 250,000 copies to date.
In a time when Michigan exploded as a hotbed of electronica and white-boy hip-hop innovation, Ann Arbor's Taproot emerged to restore Michigan to the riff-laden, rock & roll glory of the'70s. Having built a heavy underground following through its live performances, early self-released albums, and website, Taproot stepped into the national spotlight with their debut.
Taproot regrouped in 2023 with a line-up consisting of original members Stephen Richards, Phil Lipscomb, and Jared Montague.
'Gift' is available as a limited edition of 666 individually numbered copies on crystal clear vinyl and includes an insert.
Limited 180g clear vinyl pressing
