Mudvayne – L.D. 50 – 17 song CD (Epic)
Four dudes from Peoria, Illinois in heavy face paint (one even with devil horns) with names like Kud, Gurag, Spag, and. Ryan? Ryan, he’s really got to go. He could really mess up the image of these quintessentially corporate metal mavens who tour with heavy hitters like Ozzy Osbourne and Marilyn Manson. I went to their expensive looking website to see if they’ve replaced him yet and found he’s been redubbed Ryknow. Whew! By the way the L.D. stands for lethal dose. Indeed. -Eric Holland
