described the songs on the album as "even weirder" than those on L.D. 50, and also believes the album is more mature. The song "Trapped in the Wake of a Dream" has verses written in , choruses in and a bridge that mixes both time signatures. McDonough said "If I hadn't pointed out which song was written in I don't think most people would have noticed. It's a strange time signature but it works because it's smooth", while Gray added that it was the hardest song on the album to record. Reception The End of All Things to Come was certified Gold by the RIAA in 2003. Positive reviews came from Entertainment Weekly, which deemed it to be more "user-friendly" than L.D. 50, Launch.com, which said that "While the group attacks things with great velocity and singer Chud shreds his larynx at regular intervals, the always difficult follow-up album features actual melodies and mature textures that make the band's eventual transformation into a progressive rock band nearly inevitable" and MTV, which described the album as "a scarring blend of Pantera, Voivod and Tool, with a smattering of King's X". The Daily News Journal also gave the album a positive review, writing, "The End of All Things to Come captures Mudvayne at a time when the band has found its voice and is hitting its stride with confidence." Mixed reviews came from AllMusic, which wrote, "The musicians still churn out standard-issue heavy metal thrash à la Metallica to support Chüd's nihilistic pronouncements, usually sung in an enraged howl," from Blender, which wrote, "The End is rather ordinary--severe, belligerent riffs and vocals that sound as though singer Chud gargles molten lava," and Rolling Stone, which wrote, "Enjoy the band's extraterrestrial makeover; it's far more amusing than the music." A negative review appeared in Spin, simply stating, "No." Track listing Personnel Mudvayne Chad Gray – lead vocals Greg Tribbett – guitars, backing vocals Ryan Martinie – bass Matthew McDonough – drums Production David Bottrill – production, engineer, mixing Brent Sigmeth – assistant engineer Aimee Macauley – art direction Nitin Vadukul – photography Chart positions Weekly charts Year-end charts Certification References 2002 albums Mudvayne albums Albums produced by David Bottrill Epic Records albums
