Welcome is the second major label album by the nu metal group Taproot. It was released on October 15, 2002. "Poem" was the lead single from the album and the track and its video were a smash hit, propelling the group to stardom. A follow-up single "Mine" was produced and its video was directed by System of a Down bassist Shavo Odadjian. Mine was successful, but it didn't reach the heights achieved by Poem. A third single and video was announced for "Art" but curiously Atlantic pulled the plug soon after the announcement further irking fans who claimed the label was holding Taproot back. Welcome is still Taproot's most successful record, selling around 450,000 copies.
