 Mudvayne Natural Evolution For New Game

[Chad] "I think it's natural. It just feels natural to me. It just feels like the Mudvayne lineage. It's just moving along a timeline. The biggest thing with us is we don't question anything we do. Greg writes the riff and we just kind of go with it. It just becomes what it is. If you try hard to write something interesting or whatever you're probably not going to get it. You know what I mean? It's like, when you don't TRY to write something interesting that's when it pays off for us." [Matt] "I think our fans would... One thing we've always tried to maintain is an honesty with our writing. If we had expectations it would show. The fans would know. They would be able to read through that."

Mudvayne is currently on the west coast in the middle of The New Game Tour 2008, which wraps up December 20 in Lake Buena Vista, Florida.

Recycled riffs and more radio friendly emo muse...

*sigh*

Bring back L.D.50...

[dethskar0]

^Agreed. I understand that bands change and thet aren't going to stay the same forever, but L.D.50 was amazing. It was complex and had meaning. Their latest music has no heart to it, its just as you said, radio friendly. Not necissarily emo, but not good.

hmmm...i've read in several places on the web that they're releasing a new album this summer...July 27th apparently. it's supposed to be darker and include time signatures and old mudvayne twists...perhaps like those of LD 50? ALl Mudvayne has posted in regards to this is a message on their myspace page, which says BIG ANNOUNCEMENT SOON. Who knows if it's true, but I just keep praying .
