Title: Awful
Product review: I greatly, greatly anticipated this album, and well, the anticipation is always sweeter than the reward, it seems.Plainly, this album blows. LD 50 was a startlingly complex and original release for a genre that was destined to die off, and their sophomore release was only a few steps behind. While TEOATTC was technically sound, I never cared for it much, and was jittery when they announced this new album would be a return to their experimental, neo-progressive sound.If anything, this album is just Mudvayne fattening their wallets and equally fattening their chords. The ruthless complexity is completely gone, the lyrics are blatant and angsty, and the bass has been completely buried (although the bass lines on here aren't standout anyway...).Mudvayne may have removed their stage antics and image from the equation, but everything that would appeal to a devoted fan of their early sound has been trashed as well.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
