    So back when I was younger I would listen to Mudvayne every now and again, however, I stopped and figured they broke up and the numetal era was over, to my surprise 8 years later I see they have a new album (I know they have had a few over the years). I thought it'd be pretty hilarious to give it a listen. Oh boy, this is just bad, nothing creative about it, nothing new.

    There are some surprises on Mudvayne, like a surprisingly Slash-like guitar solo on "Closer" and the death metal intro to the Slipknot-esque "I Can't Wait," but too much of it is more of the same from the band and its genre.

    Bringing mellower, more melodic counterpoints to a core of nu-metal bombast makes Mudvayne’s fifth studio album at times sound clumsy.

    Mudvayne has by and large returned to what it does best (or at least do frequently) on its new self-titled album.
