    The best thing to come out of the music scene since Tool's Lateralus. Amazing bass playing and time changes show how well they have progressed and a band. More melodic and certainly more heavy that L.D 50. This one stays in the cd player.

    I really enjoyed "Not Falling" and "World So Cold" for their use of melody in them. I like the rest of the album for it's just really awesome musicianship. I can't give it a ten though, because I think this album was not mixed very well at all. The guitars are too quiet at parts when they should kick, and I really missed hearing the kick ass bass from L.D. 50. But a solid effort with insane time signatures like 17/8 and 11/8 in one song; now that's cool! Expand

    This is the best sonic assault on all your senses without losing thier main goal of maintaining their artistic intigrety. The critics are full of shit because they know they could never duplicate this absolute musical masterpiece. They defy the current trend of metal bands going completely melodic, which isn't bad. They just go all out on this album. There is nothing generic here, this album is going to be a base for the future. Like it or not, MuDvAyNe is a big part of the future of music.

    It if definitely evident that MuDvAyNe has evolved throughout the entire musical carreer. The End Of All Things To Come is just the epitome of what an original rock band is supposed to sound like. MuDvAyNe's lyrical content are real.....they are an adage to what the band has experienced wholistically and individually, it gives their fans the feeling of musical satiety, and allows the first time listener to see with their ears what they are all about. To me, the critics no linger matter.... they are just a reflection of what society wants you to think of certain genres of music.....and MuDvAyNe has consistently been a victim to unparallel, pessimistic scrutiny. Undoubtedly, their style is a prerequisite to becoming a legacy in the rock world. I guess i just want to say.... MuDvAyNe kicks major ass!!! Expand

    The critic reviews are why I dont buy any of those magazines. None of them care about this genre of music, so why bother at all. I am a huge fan of LD 50, and this album. I cant believe some of the previous reviews of "The End of All things to Come". This album is one of my favorite over the past 5 years. I listen to everything from John Mayer to Men at Work. I am so looking forward to hearing "Lost & Found", (Mudvaynes newest album). If you like metal, or just good music, then dont believe the hype. Get this one, put it in your cd player, roll down the windows, and let it rip! Expand

    This is one of the best CDs out there, I cant stand when those magazines get people to Review them, and they dont like that genre. But anyways, this CD is probably the best one out there, from the Paitent Mental to World So Cold, they live up to their Nu-metal status. World So Cold and Silenced are my favorites. Though World So cold does start out a little slow, It gets good. And everyone says its not as good as LD 50, Dont listen, this is a great CD and deserves a great rating Expand

    Whoever called this "emo" obviously classes everything that isn't Justin Timberlake into a catch-all "goth" catagory. Beleive me, a true emo wouldn't listen to Mudvayne...Mudvayne actually pronounces words in their music, something Emo's don't respect. This is a decent followup to L.D 50. One thing that is better this time around is that the album is cleaned up (has less filler content). This album lost some of the nu-metal fans of L.D 50 because it isn't in-your-face-screaming and riffs, while at the same time putting itself in that overhead catagory of "metal" that makes most people turn away from it before even listening. Poor condition to be in for sure. This album however does have content that deserves respect. If only for tracks like "World so Cold" which bridges the gap between metal and songs with actual lyric (one of the best songs on a metal album). Expand

Not to many lead singers out there can reach the level that MuDvAyNe dominates. Dont be hurt! If cant handle it. Dont listen. By the way MuDvAyNe is working on there 5th album right now!

    I really liked LD 50, their previous album. Maybe that's why I hated this vomitous, tuneless follow-up so much: rather than build on its predecessor's intriguing sound, they've simply made an album that sounds like bad Nothingface covers performed by a stoned cat in a trash can. A few terse riffs escape unscathed.

    Dreadful. Fake, poorly-realised lyrical angst set over horribly derivative riffs. L.D.50 was a pretty good album compared to the rest of the nu-metal scene at the time, featuring some very imaginative bass riffs and a superb production, but Mudvayne evidently ran out of ideas at some point, because this is just pants. And badly-produced pants, at that. One to avoid.

    This album is a great follow up to L.D. 50. It retains a majority of their break-neck power and time changes, but balances with enough melody to show how much the band's sound is maturing. Don't get me wrong, I loved L.D. 50, but for everyone that says they don't like this cuz it's "not as good as" L.D. 50, I have an idea, go listen to L.D. 50. For anyone that wants a solid metal follow-up with just enough maturity to shine, listen to this. Expand

    I must say now that I am still a great MuDvAyNe fan. They have influenced me in ways that i'm still exploring. In L.D 50, I am continuously finding more and more new, exciting, and amazing things that make me realize just how great this band is. The album has great meaning to me and is one of my all time favorite pieces of music. For that reason alone, I truly feel let down by their new album. It lacks the depth, intricacy, and pure emotional feeling that LD50 had. After getting to track 10, it feels like the band had run out of ideas and was getting tired. I understand that truly great music just can't be popped out of thin air, that it must have feeling behind it, and I feel that MuDvAyNe shouldn't have rushed this album. I can only hope that these four fine musicians can understand that they automatically set their standards exceptionally high with the masterpiece LD50, and now they must try to keep up to those standards. But I keep faith in the fact that great music can still exist in my time, that it all won't eventually be corrupted by money or fame or laziness or underachieving attitudes or whatever nasty powers there are. MuDvAyNe, take some time to listen to L.D. 50 and then take a good hard look at your new album and try to truthfully say that you are proud of it. Expand

And i think they need to stop yelling on almost everyone of their songs it makes me not want to listen to them any more. but don't get me wrong they're still rock hard metal kool! Expand

    The End is rather ordinary--severe, belligerent riffs and vocals that sound as though singer Chud gargles molten lava. [#12, p.148]
  2. While the group attacks things with great velocity and singer Chud shreds his larynx at regular intervals, the always difficult follow-up album features actual melodies and mature textures that make the band's eventual transformation into a progressive rock band nearly inevitable.
