Trips is an album by the American punk rock band Samiam, released in 2011.[6][7]

It peaked at No. 42 on Billboard's Heatseekers Albums chart.[8]

Critical reception[edit]

Exclaim! wrote that "'80 West' is an upbeat opener, with simple, sweet melodies that remind how well singer Jason Beebout can deliver a hook."[9] Philadelphia Weekly called the album "nearly the equal of [Samiam's] halcyon moment, 1994's Clumsy.[10] The East Bay Express opined that "Beebout still sounds remarkably fresh, and the up-tempo, riff-based tunes have a lot of muscle."[11]
