LoG live CD. Thick-vocals, tightly-compressed guitarwork – often doubled – crammed into every nook and cranny, and precise drumming holds the chaos together.
The hardcore component LOA always tried to shy away from has been almost entirely dropped, replaced by a slick, vaguely punchy post-grunge rock-out vibe.
Less exotic and more regular rockin’. With Slipknot, Mudvayne are survivors in nü metal, this record entering the Billboard charts at an astounding #2.
Veering from their hook-injected punk to take an edgier, more eclectic approach, and their influences are obvious. A bizarre mix, because somehow, it works.
The official soundtrack to theiranimated series, Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi, on Cartoon Network. It’s far superior to the 2002 An Illustrated History Of (on Bar None).
Once championed in the hardcore/noisecore music scene as an innovative band with intense shows, it seems success, fame, and melody has gotten the best of them.
