  • Summary: The nu-metal quartet have ditched their makeup and alien nicknames for this third album, produced with Dave Fortman.
Score distribution:
  1. Positive: 1 out of 6
  2. Negative: 1 out of 6
  1. Weaving crystallized melodies into their signature rage clusters, the metalheads dip a toe in clearer waters without losing any of the grime. [29 Apr 2005, p.147]
  2. Ultimately Mudvayne gets lost between thrash and diluted Slipknot devotion.
  3. They remain spirit-crushingly average. [May 2005, p.114]
  4. Lost and Found is ultimately a pointless album, one that might have sold well six years ago, but comes across as drab and hopelessly passé today.

    Really well-done song. The bridge from Rain. Sun. Gone. to Choices combination is excellent. They're too technically proficient to write off as average. Expand

    Not the best Mudvayne album, but to say this album deserves a 46 is a travesty. There are far worse things in existence. As an album i'd say this is an alright Nu-Metal album that has it's moments. Not on the level of their first 2 albums but still good enough to listen to and pick up from the "Sale" bin. Expand

    What can you say? Really....it's bands like this that A) Give 'metal' a bad name & B) Help to keep talented, innovative, metal bands down in the underground (where many obviously DO want to stay, but I digress) while obtaining record contracts that enable them to churn out indistinguishable crap by the bucket load. This garbage sells because it's easier to sell to kids than legitimate metal, mainly because it's not about ANYTHING and it is so self-aware of it's own attempts to be badass and angry that the lyrical content suits a 13 year old who has come home pissed off because he got pushed over at school...which is fine, some of the best metal is undeniably lyrically embarassing, albeit for other reasons, but these guys are 3 or 4 records in and they've got NOTHING going instrumentally...sort of a big deal in the metal world. I suppose Mudvayne are trying their best, but when you end up with "I'm tired of holdin' up the weight, the weight of the mother fuckin world. All I want is to just get right HERE RIGHT NOW !!! " The results should be apparent to the record buying public... Unfortunatley, these guys are millionaires...BTW- What happened to all the masks and costumes and fake names and all that bull****? I bet they wanted to be taken seriously... Expand
