Timeless Hardcore Metal
D. I purchased L. 50 when it first came out in 2000. . . . .
To this day i still cant git enough. . . . .
It is undoubtedly Mudvayne's BEST album ever!!!!!!!!!!.


THE REIGN OF MATH METAL!!!!
"LETHAL DOSAGE 50" is MUDVAYNE'S debut album. . this album is great. . . it has a lot of good tracks, like DIG, CRADLE, PROD, DEATH BLOOMS, -1, NOTHING TO GEIN AND PHARMAECOPIA, but it has also fillers which is very annoying, makes you want to push the next button. . . anyway it's DEFINITELY a good buy. . . .


L.D.50 - Mudvayne
D. The second offering of the Illinois band, L. 50 is littered with brilliant lyrical content and well thought-out syncopation. The band, now being hailed as the inventors of "math metal", has pushed the boundaries of modern metal as it is today with this album, which features the MTV2 award winning song "Dig". Chad Gray (Kud) remains as eloquent and dark (if not more)as in their first album, "Kill I 'Oughta". The sound on L. D. 50 is brought to new and unchartered heights, with the arrival of new bassist, Ryan (Ryknow).
Grays' vocal ability is driven throughout the entire album and never lacks enthusiasm and power. His ability to roar insanely, then belt out notes that would make even Maynard James Keenan proud never fails to astound listeners. Ryknows' harmonic bass and extremely agile fingers fight through the barrage of double-kick bass and Gurrgs' distorted guitar. The opening track, 'Monolith' (from the Stanley Kubrick Classic 2001:Space Odyssey)gives you a taste of what is to come, then your mind, body and spirit are attacked by the musical warfare of 'Dig'. This assault of the eardrums continues throughout the album, only pausing to covince you to 'open your mind'. Check out "Nothing To Gein" (penned by Chad about serial killer Ed Gein whom Buffalo Bill of Silence of The Lambs was based upon), "Internal Primates" (based on drug addiction), "Death Blooms" (the rites of suicide) and my personal favourite, "Severed". Mudvayne also features on the "Pledge of Allegience" tour soundtrack, "Big Day Out 2002" and "Ozzfest 2001".
Their third offering "The End Of All Things To Come" is also available in stores, being promoted by Gray as "heavier than anything on L. D. 50,yet more soft and melodic than anything on the album also". Check out "Mudvayne - L. D. 50: Live In Peoria, Ill. " on DVD to see Chad, Ryan, Matt & Greg in action. The DVD also features such bonuses as the "Death Blooms" directors' cut video, Mudvayne backstage and images of the band. All in all, the album, L. D. 50 has re-invented and re-shaped sound as I once knew it, and I have a new-found respect for heavy metal music.
I highly recommend L. D. 50 to comsumers with a word of warning; it can be a hard listen, and is only for the broad-minded. Enjoy.

What can I say?
Man, it is so hard for me to say that anything can be better than Slipknot, but I have to say it now. . MUDVAYNE IS THE BEST NU-METAL EVER CREATED!

The one thing Mudvayne has that Slipknot doesn't have is DIVERSITY, Slipknot does the intensity thing well, but Mudvayne goes from the energy-charged "Dig" and "Pharmecopia" to emotional ballads like "Cradle" and "-1". But when the two styles meet in the middle, that's when Mudvayne's best work appears. That's when you get songs like "Nothing To Gein", "Death Blooms", and "Everthing And Nothing", which are so charges with emotion that they'll leave you haunted after the final note fades.

GET THIS!!!! This is not an option, people! BUY THIS CD!!!! There's somethign in here for everyone, whether you like allout pounding metal or emotional ballads, YOU WILL WANT THIS!!!!.
