''Plead The Fifth'' is the Fifth studio album by American alternative metal band Taproot. Originally planned for an April 13, 2010 release, it has since been pushed to May 11. The album marks Taproot's first release through Victory Records, having signed in November 2009. So far, they have released two songs - the lead single "Fractured (Everything I Said Was True)" and "Release Me". The confirmed track listing was released on the Victory Records website.
Guitarist Mike DeWolf described the album's sound as a return to the heavy nature of Taproot's early material:
:"We're definitely making it as heavy as possible and aggressive while still keeping a lot of the beautiful melodies and just the general beauty of things in it. We're using a lot more of our baritone guitars, which was sort of the signature of the ''Gift'' and ''Welcome'' [2002] years, so that immediately makes things a lot heavier."
The record debuted at #107 on the Billboard 200 in its first week of release, with sales of around 5000. - Wikipedia
