One day, I was walking around my favourite store, which usually has a healthy supply of all different genres of music. As I was taking my usually hour looking through the thousands of titles, I saw the eloquently written Mudvayne inscribed on a jewel case. I took it out to see that it was their third studio album, "Lost and Found". I decided to take it home with me that day and give it a listen.

Mudvayne has a tendency to combine different styles of metal, including progressive, alternative, and traditional metal genres. When bands do this, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. In the case of "Lost and Found", it totally works. And the vocals give us a small dose of blacker-metal noises, making for a four piece genre fusion, making for Mudvayne's album, "Lost and Found".

Several tracks give us a mix of these genres, such as 'Fall Into Sleep', 'TV Radio', 'Choices', and my personal favorite from the album, 'Rain. Sun. Gone'. The vocals have the black metal sound I mentioned before, but have a Breaking-Benjamin feel to the instrumentals.

The music has a way of being consistent and inconsistent at the same time, giving for a flowing, rhythmic kind of album. Along with this shifting style, the vocals are absolutely stunning. Chad Grey is amazing when it comes to shifting between notes and simply yelling (artistically). Giving a sort of blend of dark and light in this album.

Certified 'GOLD' by the RIAA, "Lost and Found" deserves it's popularity, and is definitely a good album from Mudvayne.

Lost And Found, Mudvayne’s third studio album saw the band move further away from the experimental groundwork laid on LD. 50 and towards a more traditional, commercial sound. The album featured the huge single ‘Happy?’ and gained the band a whole new audience.

The album is of an undeniable high quality; with a better production job, more polish, improved singing from Chad and a bunch of well thought out enjoyable songs. It is important to note however that the album did bring about a change in the band’s style, with a lot more radio friendly moments, a different and more simplistic approach to song structures and more direct lyrics.

Songs like ‘IMN,’ and ‘Rain.Sun.Gone,’ are perfect examples of what Mudvayne do best, and they now sit alongside cleaner, more commercial songs like ‘Fall into Sleep,’ ‘TV Radio,’ and ‘Forget To Remember,’ which seem aimed at a different audience entirely. Luckily for fans, although the style is different than they had come to expect, for the most part the quality had not declined at all.

Opener ‘Determined,’ is a fantastic song, retaining all the fire and energy that made the band’s previous two albums so great, heavy and fast but still very unusual and creative, with particularly impressive drumming. ‘Just,’ is similarly enjoyable and impressive and also captures the style of The End of All Things To Come.

Other highlights include ‘Pushing Through This,’ which is probably the heaviest song on the album, and seems to show off the band’s groove metal influence more than any other song in their catalogue, while still retaining their bass pops, awkward riffs and Chad’s trademark vocal style.

For older fans, Lost and Found may be initially off putting but repeat listens will reveal more highlights than flaws. A feeling that this album is a serious departure or that the mid album tracks are dull and uninteresting is a perfectly understandable first impression, but its worth sticking with the album to understand the quality of the material even if you disagree with choices the band have made.

It is unfair to label this album as a ‘sell out,’ and while it may not be the single greatest thing they’ve ever done, it is an excellent record that every Mudvayne fan should give a chance, especially for ‘Determind,’ and ‘Just.’
