Mudvayne‘s 2000 debut album “L.D. 50” laid the muse for a profitable profession for the progressive nü-metal band, shortly catapulting them into the mainstream on the energy of the memorable gold-certified video for the lead single “Dig“, with the album itself going gold a number of months later.

Talking not too long ago with Revolver, vocalist Chad Grey ranked the group’s catalog so far in his order of desire, and revealed what he doesn’t like about that debut bow.

“All people loves L.D. 50. The rationale why is as a result of L.D. 50 is the primary fucking factor that they ever heard by Mudvayne. However me, personally, I’m not an enormous fan of L.D. 50 as a result of I’m not a giant fan of the combo. I feel the combo could be very bass-heavy.

To me, it doesn’t really feel like a band combine. We’re a metallic band, it must be guitar-centric. It needs to be very guitar-forward, and it wasn’t.

I imply, I like L.D. 50. It’s an ideal album and it was a fucking laborious album to jot down. Greg [Tribbett, guitarist] and I had been within the studio the final three days, in there each night time, all night time, ending the final three songs.

So, everyone left and went to combine, and me and him stayed and we actually walked out of the studio at 10:30 a.m. after being up all night time the final night time, [and] we had been purported to be out of the studio at midday.”

Grey‘s rating of his band catalog ran as follows:

05. “Mudvayne”
04. “The Finish Of All Issues To Come”
03. “Misplaced And Discovered”
02. “The New Recreation”
01. “L.D. 50”

You will discover extra from Grey on his reasoning behind the opposite selections in his record over at Revolver. Because it at the moment stands, there could but ultimately be one other entry within the record in some unspecified time in the future sooner or later. The group have been hammering away on new music this yr, with 4 new songs within the works thus far.
