Mudvayne

For these once-masked nu metal men, evolution is a way of life, and this fourth full-length marks the next step in their progression. Incorporating more rock hooks into their song structures makes tracks like the catchy "Do What You Do," the infectious "Have It Your Way" and the modern monster ballad "Scarlet Letter" more accessible, though long-time fans may be left wondering if vocalist Chad Gray and guitarist Gregg Tribett lost some of their metal edge in Hellyeah, the side project they developed before recording The New Game.
