Having is the third album by the American rock band Trespassers William.[1][5][6] It was released on February 28, 2006, on Nettwerk Records.

Critical reception[edit]

Exclaim! deemed the album the band's finest, calling it "melancholic, atmospheric, intense and beautiful."[2]

The Orange County Register called it "another set of languid, dreamy, morose, kinda dull bits designed to make you curl up in a fetal ball and weep, or gaze at gray skies from rain-stained windows, or just gently slip into a prolonged coma."[5]

In February 2007, American webzine Somewhere Cold voted Having No. 10 on their 2006 Somewhere Cold Awards Hall of Fame.[7]
