in Mudvayne's songs. The track "Choices" was described by Gray as "the eight-minute opus". It is to date the longest Mudvayne song. The band sees the album as a return to the raw sound heard on L.D. 50, with guitarist Greg Tribbett saying in an interview with Rolling Stone magazine "Instead of being all slick, we're definitely going for a raw sound on this record. The last one was pretty smooth and the first record, L.D. 50, was raw, so we're kind of mixing it up a little bit." Matthew McDonough said he believed the music on the album would reflect a refinement of Mudvayne's complexly structured hard rock balanced against more melody than any previous album. Bassist Ryan Martinie added, "Our goal for the third album is to make music that pleases us because if it makes us happy then the rest will take care of itself." Many critics have claimed the album abandoned the sound from their previous albums. Promotion Music videos were made for all four singles: "Determined", "Happy?", "Forget to Remember" and "Fall into Sleep".

"Determined" was featured on the soundtrack of the video game Need for Speed: Underground 2 while "Happy?" appeared in the video game MX vs. ATV Untamed and was also used as the theme song for WWE's Vengeance. Reception The album sold 100,000 copies in its first week of release. Upon release, the album received generally mixed reviews, with Metacritic giving it a score of 46%. Some critics noted a perceived change in sound on the album aimed towards a more mainstream audience. The Kansas Wichita Eagle observed, "Success wasn't something the members of Mudvayne set out to achieve, but they won't spurn it.

A positive review appeared in Entertainment Weekly, which wrote, "Weaving crystallized melodies into their signature rage clusters, the metalheads dip a toe in clearer waters without losing any of the grime." Johnny Loftus of AllMusic praised the opening track, "Determined", writing in his review, "They nail it on opener "Determined"—one of Mudvayne's all-time strongest tracks, it's a fist-swinging blast of modernized thrash." However, he gave the album a mixed review,
