    MAN it drives me crazy when critics write Mudvayne off!

What bias to critic associations have?… Expand

    After Mudvayne's last 2 major releases, I was anticipating this album a lot but it let me down. It's better to listen to the songs individually rather than as an album. It really starts sounding the same.

    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.

    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.

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

    Lost and Found doesn't deliver, just like Mudvayne--but they try hard, gotta give them that.

    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.

    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.

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

    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

    Mudvayne isn't real metal, it's pretend metal. It's like Monopoly money vs real money, or tofu vs real meat. The difference between this and N'Sync is marginal, and no fan of actual heavy music would find any of their songs worth listening to

    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.

    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!)

    Sadly, I love Mudvayne, but this is what happens when they get on a major label that tells them they need radio play. What I mean is they alienate everyone.

I am NOT dissing slower more musical songs by metal bands, I loved some of their content on the End of All Things to Come album and respect a band that can change its tone, and that would have been great if they did it wholeheartedly for themselves. What they have given us now though just SOUNDS like a copout to get on the "mainstream" and get radio play, the lyrics sound like they came up with them an hour before recording.… Expand

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.

    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.

    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!!!

    What can you say?

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****?

    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]
