    this cd is the best one made by them and the best one i have ever heard beating out even "the war of art" and "The Height Of Callousness"

    Mudvayne's Lost and Found is currently in the Bottom 30 of Metacritic's All-time Worst metascores. I'm astonished, as this would easily be my pick for Mudvayne's best. Scream what you want, Lost and Found delivers serious metal that will hook you like nothing else.

    To the anonymous, i started out listening to twisted sister and all the greatets and i will tell you right now that mudvayne is one of the greatest bands to play. If you would actually take the time and listen to what they are trying to get across, then you will find a new (light) in there music. They are everything but average my friend

    I admit, I was unsure of what to expect out of this album, compared to their others. After reading most of the user comments, I suggest more people need to at least finish highschool, and learn to spell and write. Honestly, how can you take someone's review seriously when they have the vocabulary of a six year old? Deep lyrics? Do you even know what they mean?

Honestly, how can you take someone's review seriously when they have the vocabulary of a six year old? Deep lyrics? Do you even know what they mean? Death Metal has such a small following anymore, it's not even worth calling a genre. This is simply pure METAL. You morons should try listening to music for it's complexity and range, not for it's tendency to make you want to head bang. The composure of this album supercedes the previous albums by a vast margin. Maybe if you pull your heads out of your @$$es and actually listen to the music, instead of comparing them to everything else, you'll realize there's more to metal than powerchords. But I suppose that would require a brain wouldn't it?… Expand

    The songs that are good on this album (which are about 5) are awesome songs! But the rest of the album I can't really say much about. It was worth the money, but don't put it on your top 10 "to buy" list.

    I really like the album. It's not quite as good as LD 50, but it doesn't deserve the reviews it's received by Billboard or Rolling Stone. Talk about magazines that are out of touch.

    best cd from them to date! LD 50 was just as angry and I feel they've included some stuff from their earlier "Kill I Oughta" days. Again, the "big" critics don't have a feel for harder bands because they are too into the pop stuff. This is a true Mudvayne album!!!

    This is one of those albums where every song makes you wanna rock out. IMO the best thing Mudvayne could have done was to release a hard rock album.

    Simply and utterly awesome, shows that "nu metal" has more soul and power than many precieve it to have. I like this album so much I'm having a mudvayne tattoo. Melodic but not sell-out and that speaks volumes in a time when Linkin Park clones are ten-a-penny. Heavy and melodic...need I say more? (Slipknot and Mudvayne rule!)

    This is the first Mudvayne album I've aqquired and frankly I think its one of the best I've gotten recently.

    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.

    although mudvayne isn't real metal like pantera and iron maiden, etc, they are still extremely talented. they manage to blend their screaming with actual melody, which many bands are not able to do competently. the reason this album received such poor reviews is because the majority of music critics do not appreciate good music. they believe that any screamo/ death metal bands have although mudvayne isn't real metal like pantera and iron maiden, etc, they are still extremely talented. they manage to blend their screaming with actual melody, which many bands are not able to do competently. the reason this album received such poor reviews is because the majority of music critics do not appreciate good music. they believe that any screamo/ death metal bands have pointless lyrics and that only suicidal/depressed/pissed-off-at-the-world-in-general teenagers listen to them. although i am a teen, i am neither suicidal nor am i depressed and even though i may get pissed off at certain people, i am not pissed off at the entire world. unlike the critics, i appreciate good music and i know a good rock album when it comes along. this album gets a 9 from me because i believe it rocks, but also because i believe that mudvayne is so talented that the next album they release will blow this one away.

    I would say this band is not really metal (its metal-ish), but they get away with it by their screaming/singing combination. Brilliant!

    MAN it drives me crazy when critics write Mudvayne off! Their last two albums have been clever and experimental in ways it seems (to me) hard to notice - are critics even listening to this stuff before they rate it?

    This is one of those bands that really evolve over their albums, yet still stay true to their core. Mudvayne sounds like mudvayne no matter their album. It's not nu-metal because these guys don't use turn tables, it's not TRUE metal like pantera either, no - MuDvAyNe deserves their own genre... pure bad assness. They are very original!

Lost and Found is so far the cleanest sounding album to date for them, yet they still manage to add some of their screaming and hardcore riffs with tasteful style. Fall into sleep is my favorite track on this cd. Quite different from songs like severed and cultivate which are as good in their own ways, yet so different. I love these guys. Can't wait for the new cd. PS. Critics gave them low reviews because they don't have any other bands to compare them to. Lyrically and talent wise these guys are on par with everything else out there, now how they compose the vocals and music to mesh together so well is beyong amazing, and is the main reason they stand out. It's not all thrown together like most of slipknot sounds like, these guys got rhythm. (sorry slipknot fans..)… Expand

    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.

    Ultimately Mudvayne gets lost between thrash and diluted Slipknot devotion.

    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]
